Default Would you get away from AKs here?

Both of these hands occurred halfway through the money field. My stack was slightly below average for each. I'm playing for first.

Unfortunately, I have 9 hands for CO and 23 for MP3. No reads for them.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t800 (9 handed) converter

MP2 (t30282)
MP3 (t21770)
CO (t28040)
Hero (t11222)
SB (t10828)
BB (t10675)
UTG (t8128)
UTG+1 (t24074)
MP1 (t1278)

Preflop: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

How about here?

CO is 23/8/.22, SB is same as CO from first hand, no read.

Do you fold these, call these or push these?

Hand 1 - I don't hate folding here but there is no point in CALLING 4K to try to hit spade draw or pair up. That's a push or fold and with a raise and re-raise it might be wise to fold.

Hand 2 - SB looks to be on a resteal attempt. Your stack is getting low, a couple more hands an orbit or two you will be at a major chip disadvantage. I say push here and see where the cards take you. It's probably wise to take a coinflip here in an attempt to double up since your table seems to like playing before the flop and not afterwards.

These are both late position action and easy pushes.
