On second thought, it seems a little too early to push this, no?

Do you think villain loosens up here because he knows I am gunning for shortie? If so, is it still a push?

[ShipItHereHo]

i would push the 2nd hand and im not quite sure what u want to know bout the first.

[DonkStrikeRiver]

In regards to hand #2...

Uhm, depends on my read of the SB, I don't think he'll loosen up that much and FE is huge. Although if you saw him be loose earlier or play like a wacko I'd probably pass and let the SB have at him...

I don't think it's terrible, I'll be interested in what others say.

I'd fold hand 2. There's only 645 chips to win, and I may be wrong in saying so, but I don't think those are valuable enough to worth busting to the SB.

I think hand #2 is an easy push. SB has to have shown me that he's calling super loose for me not to make this push.
