No reads. Im more concerned about the flop. I dont believe I can c-bet here b/c it would leave me with very little chips and committed if he came over the top. Is anyone going to c-bet here?. As played fold the turn right?

No reads again. Does this look alright or does anyone prefer reraising pf here? I felt like reraising would get atleast one caller and would leave me out to dry if the flop didnt come the way I wanted it to. Hows my line here?

Hand 1: All-in PF. 15x BB and AK = all-in.

Hand 2: Shove or call is fine. There's already 200-some chips in the pot and you likely dominate one (or both) of their hands, so shoving is definitely +EV. Sticking in a small re-raise to like 300 is the worst play because of the awkward situations that come up from there. Calling is +EV too - just don't get fancy. You played it fine

Hand 1: I agree with EscapePlan9, just shove it in pf.
Hand 2: I'm not a fan of reraising. Shoving might be good, I guess it depends on whether they will laydown something like 66-88 and call with AQs and stuff. I see them call their small PPs here all the time so I like a call way more.
You don't wanna flip this early, especially not at the worse side of a flip.
Overall I think I play hand 2 the very same way sir.

1: I used to do the same thing you did in this hand. I leaves your stack in an extremely awkward spot when you miss, so make life easier for yourself and just shove it in.
