Middle Pairs in BB near Bubble.

I just want to make sure these are standard. The 2nd one my FE isn't much at all but I need the chips NOW. Both are big stack mini raises, I figure they basically could have any two cards.

1. Automatic. You have some fold equity and you don't have much time to make a move. This is a great spot.

2. A little tougher, but if you think he's raising any two cards or close to it then it's a good play.

So yeah, I like them both

the first one used to be an autopush for me, but now I'm not so sure. I usually push here, but its close and against some players I would fold. You'll be surprised how rarely you get a fold and you really don't want a call here on the bubble.
