Hand 1: Raise or fold preflop...you don't want to be playing ATo in a five-way pot, or worse, having it raised after you. On the flop, I'ld be looking for an excuse to muck, with only top pair and a draw to the fourth nut flush. If I was going to stay in, I'ld likely just coldcall and see what the turn brought, unless I thought a 3-bet would knock out everyone but the raiser.

Hand 2: Can't do much about the outcome, except to be thankful that you didn't lose even more [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
