$6 NLTRN: Three dubious pushes
What does everyone think of these pushes? Are they all massive spews?
Hand 1: My opponent started off kind of tight, but was loosening up on the flop, and starting calling my continuation bets. I decided to push the flop because I thought my hand was very vulnerable, and I wanted to take down the pot (which was 50% the size of my stack) right away. Did I overplay my hand?

Hand 2: This was the first hand of the match, against an unknown. Did I massively overplay my hand? As soon as I did this, I realized it was probably pretty stupid...the flop is dry, and I'm not sure what my opponent could've been 3-betting with if not an ace (in which case I'm almost surely beaten). So, tell me I'm an idiot and hopefully I won't do this again.
