Hand Checks (Party, 25NL 6 Max)

[RBurke]

Making my first entry into the wonderful land of 6-max. Agro has been my friend, but in these two hands same table 6 minutes apart I want to see if a different line was called for.

Hand 1 I've been agressive in general at this table for a while. Slowing down only when its obvious that I'm beat and don't have a substantial redraw. BB was around 26 Vp$ip 41 WtSD 20 win at SD. UTG 41 33 60.

Hand 2: My foe is the BB from the hand 1. This hand took place just 6 minutes later. Again the table is mostly laying down for me, which to be honest is how I like it. I tend to play my monsters the same as if I had TPTK or even occationaly nothing at all just to keep people guessing. It had been my experiance that roughly 80% of the time villian would lay down to a double barrel shot. That said, anything wrong with this line?
