This is probably a horrible push because I'm such a large stack but I wanted to isolate the shorter stack. Is this push stupid because the hands that will call me will probably beat me? Is it just better to call with position and reevulate on the flop?

I feel like I'm alittle too deep to be pushing but I'm going to be oop and that guy is alittle short stacked. Do you like just pushing or raising it up to 250?

[J-P]

I like both but i suppose a call on hand 1 isn't bad either.

[slimon]

Is hand #2 standard since I'm oop? I'm probably mad that he hit.

[JMills109]

I think both are fine.

yeah, like you said you're OOP and he is already short. Lots of flops suck if you raise to say 350-375 here and he flat calls, so its best to just put it in now.

I think there is more value in just reraise in the 2nd hand and see the flop before went all in, If the flop comes AKQ and you raise and he goes all in you can fold safetly

[mmorpg]

I could fold the first one. No point in flipping this early. You have a big healthy stack that could be put to better use later on when the blinds are bigger. I would also be very concerned of multiple callers in this hand.

Hand 2 looks standard to me.
