A couple hands from the BB late in the Party 500k vs. the chip leader

[stevepa]

Final two tables of the 500k at Party. So so many stallers that the blinds are pretty huge (avg. stack ~10bb). The chip leader has been pretty agressive, raising a couple of times a round and has folded a couple times to large reraises. Only hand he's shown he reraised someone with AA and lost to A8...despite that, still has a ton of chips and has continued to play aggressively. For those who like Poker Tracker reads, chip leader is 29VPIP 22PFR through ~100 hands. On to the hands:

Hand 1:
Table is 8 handed, blinds are 15k/30k. Hero is in the big blind with just over 200k (before posting. This is about average). Chip leader (700k+) raises 3rd to act to 75k (standard raise). Folded to hero with K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Push, stop and go or fold?

Hand 2.
Nothing much has happened since the last hand, I've pushed a couple times and bought the blinds and have folded my blinds to raises. I still have just over 200k (before posting, avg. is about 260k) but the blinds are now 20k/40k and the table is now 7 handed. There are a couple stacks shorter than me and a slight pay increase for 13th. Couple folds and the big stack (now 800k+, same player from the last hand) raises to 100k. Folded to me in the big blind with Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Push, stop and go or fold?

Thanks,
