did i waste the chance build my stack
i have just went out in the ukops mini finishing in 73 so won 6.38 and 1 head prize i have a few hands from the tournament i would like to ask about
the table i was on was fairly tight and my image to most was a very tight player as i was folding time constantly in the whole tournament i folded 81% of my hands preflop so i couldn't see many calling unless my stack was small.
hand one
with my stack size being so small was it better to shove this preflop as the button could have been just stealing the blinds

The AA hand, your raise is WAY too big. If you have less than 20xBB then I'd say it's ok to re-shove because we'd be making the exact same move with 77, AQ etc but this deep you've lost tons of value. Just 3bet to like 5k.
On the second hand, we shouldn't be 3-bet shoving with 29BB. If we had 20BB or less perhaps then a shove would be reasonable because we can rep a wider 3-betting range but with this 29BB stack, we're just going to get all but a very narrow range to fold. 3-bet to something along the lines of 6-7BB.
did i still do the correct thing with this hand even thought it is even weaker?
with my stack size being just 8BB
Late position with 7.5BB and a hand that plays fairly well against people's calling ranges. We've got good fold equity and can't afford to wait for a better spot. Definitely a shove.
