AK and AJ, Preflop

[Ugge]

These are 2 quick pf questions so i figured I just make one post about them. And yeah I do have stats on the villians, but only like 10 hands so you will probably do better without them.

[Hand 1]
I was very confused about if and by how much I should raise PF here... Any comments?

Push when co makes it 1 in 1st hand.

Hand 2 looks ok.

Hand 1: Pretty nitty, but I tend to raise a little bit more out of the blinds since I'll be OOP, so probably to ~0.70 in this case.

Hand 2: Looks fine to me.
