Raise to 400-500 in hand 2. Cant see what else is wrong in these hands.

[flyty86]

hand 1 is standard but WTH is with that big ass raise in hand 2?

[JSH06]

Hand 1: Push is standard
Hand 2: Don't ever make this donk raise again! WTF were u trying to do here? Raise to 450 and call SB's push. As played the call is trivially easy.

[wiggs73]

What everyone else said, and btw, you should still call SB's push in hand 2 after you raise to 450.

what if i raise to 450 and the the CO or the button or the BB pushes, can i then call them after raising only 450?

[tigerite]

That's not the point, you should never be raising to some stupid amount just so you feel "pot committed" and have to call. Absolutely ridiculous argument.

Yes, and click call as fast as possible.

hand 1 looks okay. I was going to say just call, but then I saw MP1's stack and pushing was the only choice.

hand 2 looks like you raised way too much, I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish there, but when SB went AI, calling is mandatory given the pot odds.
