Hand 1 : Why not push PF?
Hand 2: I dont know. I rather wait to be the one pushing the all in.
Hand 3: Not sure...i dont think i would do it but that's just me.
Hand 4: Don't mind this one. I'd probally do the same.

[TwoKicker]

The reason I didn't push preflop in Hand 1 is because I didn't think I had any fold equity. By pushing the flop I thought anyone that missed might fold.

Gotcha.....

Hand 1. No. How did you end up so shortstacked? You should be push-folding before you are reduced to this. I would be folding the small blind here and pushing one of the next three hands.

Hand 2. Fold. Villain is always calling here - you got zero fold equity. So you've got to be pretty sure you're ahead. If it was limped or folded to you with these same cards then you push.

Hand 3. Fine

Hand 4. Fine. If you'd checked you would have been pushing that flop anyway.
