with no read on the opponent, what would you expect from the typical $10 player ? i was thinking AK, AQ, AJ or any pair TT+.....?

From what I've seen, that's about right (with the occasional lower pair thrown in). JJ and AJ are unlikely, and you're only well ahead of TT in this range once you remove those two.

Remember, there's a big difference between pushing and calling an all-in. If you were going to call an all-in in Hand 1, then you probably should have pushed to begin with. Your stack was too big to really do that, so you took your shot at a raise, and now have to fold. You still have enough chips for this.

Hand #2, villain will call anyways. Your hand might have been good enough to open push, but not enough to push against a caller who will call with any 2 cards.

Hand #3. Standard.
