    Reads would be quite important in decisionmaking

    As you've added some hands, re: hand no.1:

    Preflop is fine, unless you've seen that the table doesn't respect a 4bb preflop raise (ie, plenty of callers). If this is the case, jack it up a bit more.

    Lead out on the flop - 2/3 to pot. You've got a decent hand which may even be the best one.

    If you don't feel comfortable betting into two players when you're OOP, check/fold is okay too but rather weak (and you might want to ask why you're playing TT in MP the way you are as you can't expect an undercard flop with TT).

    Personally the opp bet seems kind of weak and because of this is callable. In any case I don't really like flop check; I'd prefer leading out.

    Hand No. 2

    Your stack is 10BB high, which means there aren't enough chips to actually play a flop. Pick a hand and go with it. Since AK really benefits from seeing all five cards, if you're playing this hand (which I suggest you do in this situation), this is a clear preflop push.

    Hand no. 3.

    I can see a case for pushing preflop here too. Push on the flop.
