Default I hate not being first in! Two hands

Should I get rid of this kind of move from my game? Party $22.

Hand 1:

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (6 handed) converter

CO (t1000)
Button (t925)
Hero (t630)
BB (t1155)
UTG (t1630)
MP (t2660)

Preflop: Hero is SB with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls t100, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, Hero Pushes

Hand 2:

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (5 handed) converter

Hero (t1275)
UTG (t2155)
MP (t1415)
Button (t1250)
SB (t1905)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG calls t200, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, SB completes, Hero Pushes.

Reads on UTG would be good, but if they limp fairly often, I'd push both.

i'd fold the first one pretty quick.

second is very read-dependent. has villain been limping a lot? would he limp KJ? would he call your push with it? (you'd prefer he didn't). my inclination would be to see the free flop, check an A-high flop with the intention of getting a-i unless both players put money in, in which case you should fold. check-fold if you miss. push if you flop a 6.

Hand 1 is tough. After thinking for awhile I fold. With 6 player's left I can fold and pick up an ace and hopefully get in first. If the blinds are going up soon I'd probably just push here.

Hand 2 I'd like some reads but it's probably ok.
EDIT: I completely forgot about checking. I'd probably push here w/ 1 limper and check with 2. So here I check.
