ok when you get about 8-10 times big blind , you should be pushing allin and now to the 3 hands

with 9100 in chips roughly and headsup , blinds 1000-2000 means you only got 6 hands if fold em all before going broke , should been allin preflop on a8 and betting somewhere along the way since you hit your ace

hand 2 amazing he did not push with 88 , but let you see flop 8-2 with 3-4-8 I would went broke here and pushed , usually top pair is good heads up , amazing last 8 in the deck hit the flop , but with the checking and q and a hitting on end , best play been to not call the 8000 there on the river

hand 3 you have to push almost every hand so low and blinds so high

so I would went broke on hand 2 , it is just tough when get down to last 2 if the other person has such a large lead iin chips , you have to get real lucky to catch up but try not to get so low so the other guy can call you basically with anything becuase it only represents a small portion of his stack

so with all the the advice I still would busted out 2nd lol so take it for what it is and wish you all the good luck in the future
