A couple of hands from my last tourney i want to discuss (vol 1)

[SS810]

What's up. I've decided to try to make it a habit to post hands where I have a big decision to make and I'm not sure the right play. I eventually pushed on the first hand and called on the second hand. As of now I cannot get (find) the convertor to work thats in the faq so I am going to have to do raw copies of the HH. If anyone has a working link to it i would greatly appreciate it. Anyways.

Hand 1. Call, push, or fold.

This next hand is a classic problem example that I thought really hard on after requesting time. This is the final table of the same tournament. We had 8 players left with 5 fighting to make the bubble. The Villian in this hand is generally a conservative tight player playing about 18% of his hands. But the blinds are so high his pushing range has to be higher. Anyways,
