Figured I'd throw in this QQ hand too:

Any reason i shouldn't reraise here?

[wiggs73]

what buyin? my answer could change a lot depending on whether this is high stakes or low stakes. i'm guessing low for both and tbh, i think you can just reraise both / get in if thats the case. i sort of feel like getting in won't be a really popular answer for hand 1 tho.

[CrispyBacon]

Yeah, both low stakes.

I don't really like getting it in on hand one unless you know BB is pretty LAG. Hand 2, ya, get it in.

They don't have AQ anything like enough for that to be good.
