Default $60 Easy fold facing Gigabet?

As far as reads, UTG is unknown to me but there hasn't been a pot unraised in the last two orbits. And well, Giga is Giga, so he's smart enough to have something strong here. I think this is a pretty easy fold.

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t200 with t25 antes (6 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t2155)
UTG+1 (t2275)
Gigabet (t2450)
Button (t2975)
Hero (t1790)
BB (t1855)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="red">UTG raises to t2130 (All-in)</font>, <font color="gray">UTG+1 folds</font>, <font color="red">Gigabet raises to t2425 (All-in)</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="gray"> <font color="blue"> Hero?
</font>


While I have you here (same tourney) will someone run the hand below through SNGPT for me? (I don't have it on this PC)?

Thanks in advance...

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t400 with t25 antes (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

Hero (t1563)
Button (t1942)
SB (t3230)
BB (t6765)

Preflop: Hero is in CO with 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="red"> <font color="blue">Hero? </font>

As for calling standards, I'd say the only player that can be a little looser is BB, everyone else tight (77+, AT+)

First hand is an easy fold-with so many BB and an UTG push + over call, you have to put these guys on tight ranges even with antes.

In the second hand pushing gives you EV.3 if button calls with
66+,ATs+,AJo+, SB 44+,A7s+,A9o+,KJs+ and BB 33+,AKo,AQo,AJo,ATo,A9o,A8o,A7o,A5o,A2s+,KQo,KTs+

Ups, didn't see your reads. With the ranges you gave, and BB on the same range as above, pushing is now worth %.6

First hand is a fold.
Second hand is a really easy shove, but the ranges you gave are really bad.

Edit: It's still a shove if guys are calling somewhat close to what they should be.

Giga=busto?

Fold 1st hand, giga's on a relatively tight range.
I push hand 2 unless they're exceptionally loose callers.

Yeah sorry, I had only one minute to post the hand so I wasn't as precise as I'd like to be. I had to be out of the house at that very moment but I didn't want to leave without posting the hand and forgetting about it.
