Default Re: Two preflop spots

Hand 1: you're in brilliant shape if both of them have high pairs but the shorty just called when he could get most of his stack in so it's unlikely he has one, unless it's kings, which he might fold to a 4bet. Your hand plays fantastically postflop so you're usually just best off to call and see what you can hit, it'll be a big pot so you're liable to get paid off as well. Repotting's not a big mistake though, I guess I do it partly for image reasons like 15%. Your relative position postflop is perfect as well, check pretty much everything you hit and trust that one of the two behind you will open the action for you.

Hand 2 I love seeing a flop with but you're in bad shape against AAxx and it's just too likely CO has it. If he's awful or very aggro or BB is a spewtard I can find a call but CO is likely to shove every flop so you've got to hit or call very thin. 3-betting your button with your hand is pretty standard, but if your value's in the blinds I just call a lot.
