[BPA234]

Here are two hands from Monday's Stars 150 that I continue to think about. Hand #1 villain is Sirio11 who could be raising preflop with a very wide range of hands.

Hand #2 Sirio11 again raises preflop. But, sb pushes allin. I have no read on sb. ACTION?

Both cases are early final table hands.


Bison is down, sorry for raw histories.
