Hand 1:

Any reads on these guys? This is an exact situation where read dictates my play. With no read at all, I probably fold and wait for a better spot. But if this guy has been opening with JT+, QT+, KT+, Ax, or any PP, then obviously I'm pushing.

Hand 2:

Hard to say the significance of the 1K raise. All else equal, I have found some guys raise a little more with a more vulnerablee holding (i.e., a hand they'd rather not see a flop with). Again, without a read, we really can't just guess what the extra 1K means. What it DEFINITELY does mean is there is an extra 1K in the pot, giving you even more reason to push with the TT. Either way, TT against an open-raiser, I am pushing almost always.
