I struggle playing these mediocre hands in position with a fairly short stack. I know most of these situations are villain dependent. But i am never sure if this is a spot to just call, fold, re-steal with a shove. Some villains min raise strong utg some do it with suited aces, pp etc. But lets say you don't have a real good read on villain is this an easy fold?

Hand 1 seems good. Hand 2, I'd raise to 250 so you're not as committed postflop. Hand 3, I have no idea as I'm not a tournament player, but it can't be that bad.
