first one looks like shove, second looks like fold.

1st is an easy shove.

2nd? Yeah probably fold.

If BB always folds and Button always calls it's a breakeven push against this Button range: 22+,A2+,K2s+,K8o+,Q9+,J9+

First one seems like an easy shove. I fold the second one.

Both fold.
In #1, Button is almost never raising that wide. A read would help but since even that wide of a range is breakeven, it's a fold. If it was in the ante, then I would push.

You clearly rely on SNGPT too much. I was at that point once. You should work on fixing that because it will cost you a lot of money.

Explain this. I'm not saying I absolutely agree one way or another about that hand. From a logic stand point, you need the double bad & more often that not you end up getting in worse than a flip since you're so short & going to have to be pushing like a maniac. I probably would push if he was any kind of normal 60 idiot. A read would help.
