Good/Bad? I just switched over to party, so I'm not used to the blind/stack ratio being this high.

I would call with the first hand. Gettin 1.5-1 and you're ahead of his probable range. Good pot odds to take a coinflip and if he has a lower pair or Ax or Kx where x is lower than 8, you're a big favorite. Also, at the 10's people are more likely to slow down and not push with huge pairs so that's not quite as likely.

Second hand looks fine.

Oops; I left incredibly significant info out. On the bubble, this guy played very tightly and showed AQ+ TT+ after every push [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. The main question is do I trust him to loosen up ITM.
