1. No way I raise AJos without position. And if I do raise it, I'm ATLEAST going to raise 3x the BB

2. I kinda like this play. It'll probably buy you a free card on the turn in case you miss.

I don't like the minraise in hand 1, especially with the antes. Unless minraises have had a profound effectiveness in stealing the blinds and antes at this table, then I'm going to be raising to 3x there every time.

You're not getting away from the flop once an Ace flops, so the push is fine given the fact that the flop is draw heavy and your stack is too shallow so way ahead, way behind doesn't apply here.

I think I take the cheap draw on hand 2. Maybe I make a move on the turn if a scare card comes.

Hand 1:
If I raise, I would raise 3xBB. If its a tough table, then I think folding preflop is OK. On the flop, when he bets, you should go all-in. Good.

Hand 2:
I check to see the free card.

Suerte,
Jonathan

Hand 1

You need to be raising 3xbb preflop and I play it the same on the flop.

Hand 2

Personally I would just call the flop bet to see the draw for cheap maybe I'm to passive though.
