Both of these are from Empire 25+2 tourneys
HAND 1: Good fold? Opponent plays well. He's tight preflop, but does tend to re-raise opponents often. I had seen about 150 hands with him over a couple of tourneys. At this point, there is somewhere between 15-25 players left of 200+. Preflop seems bad to me. What do you think?

Final Pot: t8100
HAND 2: Standard play or should I look to dump this? This is at the final table, so each spot is worth significantly more. IMO, Opponent plays terrible. I had seen him for about 50 hands. He played over 30% of his hands and was not very aggressive. He often made min bets. Somehow he got a big stack early and had held onto it. Clearly the re-raise is a cause for concern since he had me covered, but I think my hand is too strong to be folding. Correct?
