Hero? SO far I have been pretty tight no real big pots.

One is close if I you were a SNG reg it would probably be a fold, but since you are an unknown playing nittyish you can prob get away with it. Clear shove if sooooooooted.

Second is a fold, if they are calling 99+ AQ+ it's neutral EV once you start adding stuff like AJs, 88 into there calling range is will swing to a fold.

These are both real close imo.

I'd be more inclined to push the first. since sb will probably be looser and the spot you have next time your sb if its folded to you might not be better. The second i think your only getting called by better and if its +ev by some small amount i still think its better to wait.

that said i fold both. tough calls. id be interested to know what u did.

Both look like clear, clear folds in SNGs. Hand #1 could be an allin based on some variables, namely if the blinds are going up to 100/200 very soon.

i'm folding both of these. hand one might be boderline ok if you dont plan on playing with these guys too much.

Solid answer.

Yeah hand 1 is an easy push if suited, but probably a fold off suit, though it's close.

Pretty sure hand 2 is a fold. You're likely crushed if called unless they have 88/99.

Pudge's advice is perfecto.
