i had raised the last 3 hands to 1200 so this was standard for me.

I'm pretty sure I'd call this.

I'm pretty sure I'd call here and, barring any reads, expect something like JJ/QQ from the first guy and maybe AK from the second guy. But either way, even if you lose, you'll still be second at your table with about 30xBB. Makes it a call for me.

Given the image you had on the table - I think your initial raise was discounted. The first all-in looks like a mid stack getting desperate. He might do this with AJ+, 88+. Keep in mind he might be trying to steal the pot right there from the aggressive big stack.

The second all-in in probably a better hand. AK, JJ+. Your stack looks like it will be around average if you call and loose. If you win you shoud domimate the rest of the tournament.

I put the first all-in as AK and the second as QQ. I would call and try to dodge an ace.

The fact that you have plenty of chips makes this an easy call. In fact, without a very specific read, I can't imagine laying it down.

let me just clarify a little about the two different players and what i thought about the moves they made.

the first all-in guy (jman guy) he was extremely tight and i had only seen him show down premiums at this table and i had been at his table at the very beginning of this tourny and the case was the same for then too. his raise was the one i was actually worried about the most, it looked to me as if he had a big hand and he felt like he could get a big stack to call and double him up b/c i had chips to play around with and was willing to enter a lot of pots.

the second all-in guy (coke guy) was a bit like me, he was the other table bully. he was the hand i wasn't as worried about but of course i have to respect the a call of the reraise all-in (gap theory). to me it seemed as if he wanted this thing heads up and wanted to reraise the rest of his chips cause he felt i wouldn't risk half my stack on any random two cards that i could be raising with and have been raising with...but then i thought if he were smart and knew that i had been playing any two for awhile and actually had a big hand he would just call the initial all-in and not reraise.

so many thoughts ran through my head here. i just wanted you to know that player 1 was the TAG and player 2 was the LAG.
