Default Re: $55s - Getting Aggro With 88 and J9

Hand 1 - Folding to the min-raise PF is pretty weak. MP1 min bets the flop, which generally means draw, crappy pair, etc. He could have a monster trying to provoke PF raiser to come over the top but I doubt it. When PF raiser min-raises he has nothing. Note: if MP1 reraises me here after min-betting I will fold. After I'm just called he's drawing 90% of the time so I push. There is no other play on this turn once I've taken the lead on the flop.

Hand 2 - A min-bet on a co-ordinated board and a call? I might make this raise with nothing... The turn is somewhat debateable as the T9 OESD just came in, but his most likely holding is a two hearts.

Note, these turn pushes are in no way bluffs. I'm not trying to force off a better hand, I'm trying to get a dumb call from a draw and insuring myself that I don't have to make a tough river decision if a scare card comes.
