Hi, Guys.
Lately, i've been in realy tough spots, where i seems can't make the right decision and it's costing me the tourney life. I would realy appreciate any opinion you can give me.

Ex.1 (45man SNG Turbo, arround 12 people left, blinds 200/400 I am the chip leader with about 30bb). I was on the BB with AQs, the button raises me 4x (he had similar stack), (what was going trough my mind, I thought he is raising me to steal the blinds, but instead of calling, I decide my hand is good enough to shove. He insta calls with pair of sixes and hold. How would you proceed in such spot.

Ex.2 Final table (9 people, blinds 400/800, I was 3th in chips with about 12bb)
I am the BB with AKof, UTG raises (I realy knew what he had, so I decide to shove), He calls with the exact same hand I had put him on (AQ), but unfortunately he hitted and I was out. Would you guys do the same thing, if you had specific read on your opponent?

Ex.3 I realy have problem with A9s, AJ,AT in early position, arround the bubble,how you guys deal in spots like these (an additional information, I don't play for the bubble).

I think your play is okay, you just have to accept the fact that when you go all in, many times you are in a coin flip at worst, or maybe at 60% at best. This means that you are going to loose many of these hands.
So, my advise:
- Go against other players who are small stacked. Then if you loose this allin, it won't wipe out your stack.
- Go all in against people that you think will fold, so you can steal their blinds. But still have a strong hand so when they do call, you are still at least in a coin flip race.

1. I have just made the call. And I watched the flop. If there were kings, rows might have been able to take the bluff.
2. I'd dropped here, out of position.
3. AJ raise and to A10, A9 s call, catch a flush and a pair of aces. Play cautiously. If there was a raise and a call, it is better to lose.
