Default Re: Help with two hands

Both look fine to me. Your first hand is an easy push -- a pot sized raise is getting close to half your chips. I don't see how you can do anything else but push this, unless you know for some reason the limper would only limp with a monster here. Even then, I'd have to be REALLY confident in my read to limp with AK.

2nd one is tougher, and I think you could fold and find a better spot if the table was particularly bad. When I'm the shortstack though, I like to take an expected coinflop for a chance to double up though (you're still a ways from moneying too, which is important). It's really close though, and a read on the raiser's range here could easily sway what I'd do.
