No, not tilty. I actually have a reason for both, maybe not the correct reason, but a reason.

It took me awhile, but I became a firm believer in the gap concept. I'd always rather push than call. In the first hand, he's probably not pushing complete junk here, and with 44, he's almost certainly going to have two overcards. I'd just rather not risk 1/3 of my stack calling at best a coinflip. Later in the game, definitely, but not here.

In the second hand, opposite situation. Even with my pathetic stats for getting called, there's still a 60% chance he'll fold and I get the blinds. If he calls, 65s is not a terrible hand to get caught with.

I didn't have enough hands on either of these guys that a read would make a lot of difference.
