two preflop plays 3/5 Commmmmmmmerce NL

[Warder]

Hand 1: I think limp reraising all in for $140 more, even though the pot is about $133 is going to seem a little suspicious and in the best situation LAG will most likely fold and you'll get called by EP. Although it's a little risky, I call here expecting EP to check the flop, I check, lags pops it. Now I would expect EP much more likely to call a bet on the flop from the LAG after you show weakness and then you push. Like I said, it's the the prettiest way to get the money in, but I think it is the best way to get the most money in.

Hand 2: I actually wouldn't be surprised if you're up against a hand like AJ,AQ here, but more likely is QQ-99... all of which you can't afford to fold to.

Hand 1 i pushed, lag called and EP folded 99 faceup. lag had A7o and i held up. still torn as to whether calling and c/ring on the flop would have been better given my perfect position for that play (the check, check, lag bet, EP decision, me push line). overall probably very EV neutral between the two, but the call woulda been so much more fun i think...

Hand 2 i called and got shown JTs. logic of his play still eludes me; he sees a dude LRR with AA and the next time trys to blow him off his hand? this one, given the amount of money here, is pretty much a must-call, but i dunno what i would have done had he had $300 more and a weak/tight table image.
