2 Hands from the bubble. What do you do?

[Packerfan1]

Down to 43 players, 40 make the money.

I'm currently in like 35th position with about T5500 with blinds of 400/800 with a 75 ante.

I find 88 in UTG+2. I consider folding. I consider pushing. I "decide" instead to min-raise to 1600 with the plan of dumping to a reraise. Which a MP with T15000 does to 4800. I stick to my plan (right or wrong) and fold.

Unfortunately two hands later I find TT UTG. With 43 players still left I push in my T3750 in and am called by the BB who has AK and I get the added pleasure of watching the board come JT3 [img]/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] and I Go Home Now.

Anyone do these differently, and why? Thanks.
