18 Man SNG on Stars (final table).

What would you do on hand #1 raise/limp?
Hand #2 I think was a desperation move call/fold?

1)NH, I always raise t600 here with antes, t500 w/o.

2)Push to isolate vs shorty.

Pretty standart...both hands played well unless i misread something.
In hand one i like to raise to 500. limping would be fine, too. But with 500 you can still fold if a Big stack pushes.

So all in all you played it fine IMO...
In hand 2 you should shove to isolate...but thats about all i can find.

Thanks.

In hand #1 I didn't know the correct raise. Is there a nice way to calculate the optimal raise with the first hand.

In hand #2 is a fold also correct given the people behind me are left to act?
