Hand 2: An UTG reraise usually means AA or AK. I fold the queens.

yuk, start from the beginning, build the pot total and look at the odds, it's huge, you cant fold QQ for 615 chips into a 1390 chip pot

I didn't even look at the stacks. This is what I meant by "wait for someone better to chime in."

Thanks for pointing it out.

But indulge my ignorance for a second. If we assume villain has AA/KK this would be a bad call, because you are a 4:1 dog, correct?

how high a percent can you put on that read though. He can have lots of different hands there, not just the ones you worry about. A weaker player will play AK, AQ, 88-AA exactly the same in that spot, they will push so they dont have to play postflop. Thats why you call with those odds, you can never be sure enough on your read to overcome your advantage when your wrong.
