These questions are kinda simple and I dont think they deserve separate threads.

I guess these just push fold spots. Can some one link me to a push fold chart for MTTs please so I can do these myself? I have SNGwiz, but I dont think it is applicable.

1. I have AJo UTG+1 with 18bb. No antes. Every one has me covered with 25-30bbs. If there were antes, I would shove. Is this too much to shove pre ante? If so, I would raise 2.5, cbet 1/2 on flop, and shove turn if I have top pair or a draw vs 1 or more callers. Is that bad?

2. I have KJs with 25bb in BB. No antes. Limp on BTN and SB (both have 35bb). I want to shove to pick up the 3bbs because I dont think they are calling and if they do, I am not dominated based on my reads. Is this bad? I hate playing oop.

3. JTs in MP and A3s in HJ. Both with 20bb and antes. Standard shoves right? I know I gotta find a chart

When I have a short stack under 25bbs, my goal is to shove or 3bet shove preflop because I prefer to lock up a small profit or race vs. getting involved in a post fold pot oop. I feel like this is standard with antes, but I dont know how to adjust pre ante.

Because you didn't state how big the antes are, I am just going to assume they are 10% of the bb.

1. Fold Pre. Shove with antes.

2. Shoving seems fine and picks up around 1/6 your stack.

3. Shove JTs, Fold A3s

Playing a shortstack pre-ante is awkward and requires you to play much tighter. I don't mind defending in the blinds with around 25bbs, but I wouldn't be cold calling. Also look for steal spots as you are just above the point where you can raise-fold. You could even 3b bluff with 25bb if you have strong reads that the player is opening wide and is aware of push/fold so he will not flat and put you in tough spots.
