villans have been donk betting lots but have been playing very tight. Would a smaller raise accomplish the same things here?

Hand 1 I think you can get away with a raise to 1600 but the shove is fine.

Hand 2 is good.

Hand 1) I make it 1200-1600 as well. Shove is unnecessary at this point.

Hand 2) Shove is better here. I think the chips are significant enough to try and take it down now rather than trying to milk him for more.

Hand 2 is good, raise to like 1100 or 1200 on hand one. That big of a shove is just not necessary, but it's not *bad* so don't worry about it.

Hijack! Sorry, but when does he start shoving preflop?

when his/his opponent's stack reach ~10BB
