Preflop: Hero is CO with , 6 folds, SB calls 75.00, BB checks
I have only played 23 of these games and I already have 10 straight no cash finishes. I think I could easily burn up my whole bankroll playing these things if I don't get things fixed.
What range are we pushing here?
How does 22+, A4s+, KTs+, QTs+, JTs look in this spot?
Thanks for any feedback.
I do ok in the 45/turbo games but terrible in the single table games.

Ok, here are my thoughts. Assuming blinds aren't about to go up, you can sit through another round before things are truly urgent. That said, I'm definitely looking for opportunities to push.
I agree mostly with your range. I'd drop the lowest pairs and the weakest Aces go 66+ A9+ A7s+, KQ, KJs+.
I'm a fan of pushing hands like JTs because they are unlikely to be dominated. But in this case I'm not desperate enough to do it yet, unless I have a read the BB BB big stack is tight.
Note BTN's stack is so small I ignore him and treat this as if were effectively on the BTN ourself.
It's a tough spot because you have a shortie to your left who is going to be looking to get it in with a huge range, and a bigstack in BB who might be tempted to call widely (especially if the shortie calls all-in). Since the chances of getting called are decent, I'm actually tightening up and looking for something with better showdown value.
(Disclaimer: Though I played $3.40 turbos for a while I was never very good at them - only managed an ROI of about 5%)
I believe QTs is plenty good for a shove. We are 6 of 7, have only 7 BBs left in a turbo and 3 players have already folded in the hand giving us first-in vigorish as well. True, the CL is in the BB and that would tighten our range somewhat more than normal but a suited broadway is a solid holding for the situation.
