Hand 1 - UTG limper was a 23/8. Is this a standard push over?

Bump - I converted the hands now that the converter is back up.

Those mid-pocket pairs give me trouble too. Anyone with a higher pair is probably calling, in which case you're way behind. Anyone else who calls probably has two overs, in which case its pretty much a coin-flip. I'm always wondering, "Is this it, or is a better chance coming?"

Hand 1: Does the 4th place finisher finish ITM? If so, probably a good push. Even if not, probably a good push. However, you're not the smallest stack, and the next biggest isn't much bigger than you, so I MIGHT wait and try to steal.

Hand 2: Looks ok.

Hand 3: Good fold, IMO. You called for set value, and when that plan didn't work out, you got out of the way.

I'm curious to hear other thoughts.
