wow looking at the 1st one now, looks like an easy fold, especially with the stack sizes.

I agree. On the second one, your pf raise is kinda weak. Pop it up to at least 200 instead of 150.

Why are people saying to fold the first??
SB is first one in, he'll prolly raise ATC. You are in BB with a suited ace and 6BB left.. what's there to think about?

Shove'n'smile!

I just don't know for sure. I think the SB in hand 1 has a very strong hand, otherwise he would have pushed in the first place seen his stacksize (at this level, psychology probably doesn't go as far as, maybe he will think that i'm strong and fold, that's why I minbet a hand of nothing). SB has probably AJ+, 99+. So pushing isn't +EV. Second hand SB probably has a strong hand too, but you are quite behind in stacksize relatively to the others, so you have to take your shot (though expect to see AK, TT+ here).

At these levels I see people raise/limp with small stack sizes all the time and then give it up to a push, most people don't understand stack sizes at this level.
