2 dolla donkament: Two spots deep in money

[Nairb]

In hand #1 I would check behind here, al a cooperation play. 2 hands are better than 1 to take out a shortstack and you are too far away from the nuts to bet into a dry side pot so I would just check the hand down. With 2 bigger stacks against a shorty I would like to have the nuts or near nuts before betting a dry side pot.

Hand #2 is a good spot to push over the top. Not necessarily a resteal because you have a top 20% hand and I am happy taking down the blinds or with a call, either way I do not much care. 4x BB at $500-1000 blind level is almost always a medium strength hand that does not want a call so I feel you can profitably get it in there.
