Hand 1 I either raise to 275 or shove pf, raising to 350 will leave you with a huge c-bet on a missed flop.

Hand 2 I shove pf. People love to call when you just make a standard raise, and thats just bloating the pot, and I hate just calling.

I'd push the first one, because you likely have the best hand and 250 is worth picking up uncontested.

A push seems like overkill on the second hand, but out of position, I'd probably do it anyway, because a called re-raise would mean you're pushing almost any flop. I think calling and going from there is a very viable option too.
