1) I would just raise first UTG. I can't think of a situation where I would limp UTG with these blinds and number of people.

2) I don't usually make moves like this. I would just complete. It's not a terrible move though if you have a read that they'll fold.

This is a 5.50. Good luck with that.

First hand: I really don't understand why people like to just call preflop with medium pairs like TT and JJ. I personally put a normal raise here every time. Though if you're going to call pre like you did, then you're pretty much forced to get all the chips in after the sb raises.

Second hand definatly depends on what type of player UTG is.

Good call. I suppose I could *sometimes* get away with this at the 33s or 55s. But I sometimes forget that you can't assume anything about those low stakes guys.

No, just limp hand #2 and hope for 2-3 hearts or A4.
