Hand 1: call
Hand 2: I fold. I think I may get heat for that but CO doesn't have great stats...which means he's avg. at best...which means he's less likely to make a tricky 4-bet. Also, he has position and with AK probably wants to see the flop. I think this is too often AA/KK and when its not only a flopped set will make you want to get your $ in...no odds for that.

Hand 1: You have half your stack in the middle already. I'd raise to 1.75 - 2.25 preflop, and then just call the 3bet, and evaluate the flop.

Hand 2: Not sure. Torn between calling and folding.

hand one is a call I guess just for pot odds I dont expect to be ahead here ever given a solid player just 5 bet but w/e.

hand 2 Is push or fold for me here villian doesnt have a ton left and its going to go in on the flop if you just call .
