Villians are both unknowns here. What is the correct action for these hands?

[adam9357]

First hand I would just shove pf after sb's reraise. This is most defiently the correct play at a $3. Second hand I would make it more preflop with all of those limpers. Somewhere around 180-200. Bet about the size of the pot on the flop, you don't want anyone to draw to a flush. With a larger bet on the flop there will be enough money in the pot that you can just shove the turn.

Hand 1-Shove PF. As played, call.
Hand 2-Raise to at least 200 PF, or shove. As played, call.
