second one: i think i made a very bad push on this one. hes calling with everything so there is no FE for me and my hand is bad.

First one I like a push.

Second hand a push is good unless u think he is calling with any two.

i pushed the second one and lost against 57..u think pod odds dictate a push anyway?

first one i lost against aq calling..

since your the big stack its an easy push, hes prolly not calling with any two, he will fold some hands because its on the bubble, basically you are pushing any two here.

hm..what about the first push? mayb i should only call or fold this hand? if i call i can lay it down to a push..

fold first one
if villain calling any two as u say push any pair face card and 86s+

re-looking at the first hand its closer than I thought, meh push or fold, either is probably fine

I'd fold the first one. You're not winning much if everyone folds, and you could be badly dominated pretty easily if anyone calls.
2nd Hand I'm usually pushing any2, simply because we have BB covered and it's the bubble. If he's stupid enough to call with any2, you should probably be pushing a little tighter, use SNG tools ftw

BB barely is above 2 BB, so half his stack is already in the middle, and the next shortest stack has 6 BB. There's no way I'd ever fold here as BB. If we fold, we hit SB next with barely more than one BB.
