My gut instinct is to fold both. You have no FE in either situation. Let one of the other stacks get knocked out and then play.

Wow, Goliath wasn't helping you out at all was he? Sheesh, seems like he could throw his weight around especially in hand 2.

How has the big stack been playing?

With no reads, I would probably push the 55 hand and fold the A6 hand, but I am not good in spots like this.

I'm interested to see thoughts from others on this one.

From the two hands posted, he is playing very passively. Second hand, on the button that's an easy push for the big stack w/ any two.

you actually DO have FE here since goliath is folding here...if he'll fold first-in then he'll def fold to a push...

whoops meant to edit out the big stack's fold. He was actually very loose aggressive, and was pretty much raising every hand preflop and on the flop. I'd say he raises about 75% of hands preflop and bets 90% of flops.
