I late registered a $15 buy-in satellite with target stack 55000 for a ticket, but couldn't make it into the bubble.

I played very tight and the only action I made was the following pre-flop shoves, did I play them correctly?

How far from the bubble are you on these shoves?
The only one that looks off to me is the 20BB shove w/ AJo - what was your rationale for three-betting there?

It was still very far away from the bubble.

The AJo shove was done because I thought I was at an upper part of the range (having an advantage pre-flop) and wanted fold equity to stop speculative hands from seeing the flop.

KQ fine, wp.

A9 jam is suspect from that seat.

I like the rejam with AJ, Hijack's range is wide enough to have plenty of bet/folds and there is a dead money in the pot thanks to flat from CO.
We have a good shot at adding 25% to our stack without seeing a flop.
You aren't going to win every time, but that doesn't matter this is very +EV.

I think, they are all fine, but AJ and A9 are near bottom of range.
