Hand one and three both villains are utg and utg+1 and are shoving near 20 bigs I probably let 99 go without reads. Hand two is standard.

I agree with 1 and 3 but do we really want to just jam AK in the 2nd one and completely shut down hands worse than AQ?

I guees it depends on reads…if we think he folds then a small 3bet looking to get it in may be the way to go?

Yeah Hand 2 is not standard. Don't just shove there. Make it 450 and shove a lot of flops, though. These Daily Doubles are so clownish.

99 is at the bottom of my calling range in hands 1 & 3. I make my decisions based on villain's stats in those spots. If I have no stats I lean toward folding in Hand 1 and calling in Hand 3 since it's a micro turbo.

Although on any given day I pitch 99 in both these examples since the jam came from EP and they're just as likely to have TT and JJ as AK and AQ.

Gotta agree with the crowd, I fold 1&3. Hand 2 seems extreme to me to just jam AK with the stacks you have there. I think because it is so early and guys are going to watch their stacks a little you are probably not going to get far on average. I would open and see if another shorter stack will try to come over the top or if one of the bigger stacks will try to push you off with an AT, AJ AQ type hand. I think an open with the intention of getting it in is okay, but i am not sure i will just jam and hope.
