Re: 2 late game Ax push-raises
Hand 1: This is borderline, and it depends how maniacal and/or self-aware Button is. I ran this through SNGPT's as a Call (because I think you can pretty safely assume that Button is not folding from a Hero push -- maybe if SB pushed he would, but against Hero's stack). The only way this is profitable assuming no FE is if Button is raising a maniacally-wide range of hands. Now, if I were playing the button here, I would be raising things like J9 and 22 and Q6. But if this is your typical Party Donk on the button who doesn't know how to play the big stack, his raising range here is tight enough that this hand is a fold for Hero. He has to be raising with some really crappy stuff for this to be a good push.
Hand 2 is just a fold fold fold. You likely don't have much FE against the raiser, and you've got BB with just over 3xBB. Give shorty the chance to bust out. Fold.
