Hand 1: Any reads on the limper? I think I push this in game especially with the extra money in the pot although 99 would be the very bottom of my range here.

Hand 2: Raising kind of sucks because he can probably call you and you are oop with an awkward stack size. Pushing really can't be bad.

H 1 looks like a borderline push preflop.

H 2- push or complete, depends on how tight BB is

FYP - but ya, it could be a push if the limper limps a lot. That being said, there are a lot of potential callers behind you and you have a healthy stack here.

H1 - borderline fold
H2 - shove

[Ryendal]

H1 I folded ( I made something wrong while copying the hand so you see it ... )

H2, I don't remember if I called, or may be I made a little raise or may be I folded, because I was too busy ...

It seems the push is one of the mains suggestions ... I really wish more answers, I don't understand the push.

I have 1300 and I push ?

[Ryendal]

Bump.

I am still confused about the hand 2.
is there more people for a push ? I don't know how to play this hand

[safinator27]

H1 - I fold here. Depending on any reads you might have that say he would bluff here, you're probably beaten. No way I push.

H2 - A7o with your stack size is probably the lowest of the hands I would play with here. If you think he's tight then I'd only raise about 3xBB. If you think he might play back at a small bet then totally push. Anything lower than A7 I'd fold here, but pushing seems best.

Hand 2 I usually just go allin.

I think the reason most people are saying push in hand 2 is because the BB's range gets much, much wider when you only make a standard raise. He has chips and lots of people get frisky in blind battles.

Even if he's calling 44+,A7s+,A9o+,KJs+, it's +.4% to push in this spot. Pushing also avoids the headache of playing oop in a raised pot against the chip leader if he decides to flat call.
