3. I don’t have a good read on villain that tags them as very tight
Are you making a point of folding to a very tight player PF? if i put oop on AA or KK ill call with any PP at shorter implied odds because i can put them on such a small range (if i hit ill stack them). Ive more thoughts to expand but I want to see if I interpreted it right.

Pretty much yes, take a standard tournament start, blinds are 25/50 everyone has 1500, you raiseto 150-200 with JJ and a tight player reraised you to 450, you know his range is AA-KK only, you know he will bet the flop, so are you going to call the additional 250 on a 1:7.5 odds of hitting your set ?

Opening with PP
In this stage of the Sng limping is usually a bad play, you want to raise hands that you play and picking up the blinds is not a bad result, and this is true with PP as well. From mid-late position I will usually raise them, and if my M is below 10 I will push them, the reason is that you don’t want multiway action with PP in this stage, with AA I would not mind 2 callers, but other then that you want to either pick up the blinds or have one opponent.
Playing low-mid PP from EP is totally a question of stack size.
With a big stack I have no problem raising them
With a small stack I will push any PP, you don’t have time to wait and you don’t mind taking a flip here, so push and pray for folds or one caller when you hold low PP.

Long story short, I think with 4-6 players from MP-LP not raising low PP is generally a mistake, blinds are high and come around fast, you need to pick up the blinds pretty much every 5th hand just to survive, if it is 5 handed and I pick up 55 in mid-late position and it is folded to me I raise/push it
