Default $16:TT+A9o near bubble

Hello!

Two preflop spots where i wasnt to sure and would like to hear
your opinion.

Hand 1:

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t200 (5 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t5140)
CO (t500)
Button (t1460)
SB (t3690)
Hero (t2790)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="red">UTG raises to t450</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, Hero ?

The bigstack has made such a min raise UTG when I sat in the BB just last round.All in or Call?

Hand 2:

CO (t1130)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="red">Hero?

i push 1st

the 2nd one i raise to 600, i know this play is very exploitable by a good player but i get away with it so much at the 16s that i think it is profitable

first one im not so sure about kinda read dependent default is fold but if villain is like 55 vpip id be inclined to shove this

second one is a borderline very marginally +ev spot id probably shove bc it might be the most ev spot we have in a while but dont love it

1) Push. You have a lot of fold equity, and coin flipping isn't as bad as it seems, as a double-up allows you to bully the bubble.

2) One for SnGWiz or equivalent, but I'm too lazy. Probably push, but it's marginal. Don't mind raising to 600, as suggested earlier, if you think you can get away with it.

Both look really standard pushes.
