Two hands from today's rebuys

[skier_5]

This first hand I don't have too many reads because they kept moving me around, but the button has been limping/calling raises a little bit and I have no clue about UTG. If it was jus the button limper I would instapush this, but that UTG limper threw me off. Push anyways?

UTG calls t6000, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, Button calls t6000, Hero ???


This second hand is an AA hand and I was just moved to this table like 3 hands ago so I have nothing to go on. Either way should I be pushing this flop given the pot size? Call the flop bet to keep the pot small and fold to significant resistance?

1st hand-push or just call, I prefer push, but either way is fine I think

2nd hand-push on the flop, then you wont have to face that nasty turn card, as it went I just call on the turn since its cheap and proceed with caution

I think calling is bad in the first hand because you would be going no further with it unless you flop a seven. For me it's push or fold. The blinds are getting too big so I like a push you gotta gamble sometime.

Your raise on the flop is too small in hand two. Instead of just rasing three times the other players bet take the size of the pot into consideration. I would raise to at least 2500 or so and a push would be fine too.
