Default Re: A couple of Bubble hands

First I probably fold.

Second easy push.

At first thought, this is my analysis as well. Here's what is worth discussing on these two hands.

Hand 1: We fold here because we hope we can find a better/stronger hand on the next orbit. Furthermore, from a stack management issue, we're currently not the shorty. But, relatively speaking, essentially we are. Blinds are pretty painful for us.

Hand 2: Ugh, our hand is stronger... But now we're in a more difficult position than the last hand. (BTW, I'm having difficulty with the HH. How did 100 chips pass from seat 4 to hero? Shouldn't they have passed to Seat 7?) What's really difficult now, with a push here, is that seat 4 should be more liberal in his calling standards. Maybe he will or won't recognize that.

Overall, both of these hands are +$EV push-wise. Post play anaylsis makes this an interesting discussion. The one thing I think about the most is that hand 1, calling ranges should be tighter. BB can 'risk' folding in hand 1 more than in hand 2.

Thoughts?
