Hand 1: You need to be against JJ/AT to be ahead, and he shouldn't be pushing that hard with AT (and shouldn't have called pre-flop with AT if he had a clue). I think I might find a fold here and tell myself it's KK/AA or a set. It's a tough fold though.

Hand 2: You hope it's AJ here (rather than T9s, JJ/KK/AA), but you're not risking as much by calling as in Hand 1....I think I'd make a crying call here.

Re: Michael's post on calling pre-flop raises with suited conns and baby pairs:

This is probably not unreasonable with 100BB stacks, because of the implied odds. Implied odds rule with tall stacks. However, at Party Poker with the 50BB stack being the norm I really think any raise that's near 10% of your stack has to be a muck with those implied odds hands. If you raise $9 with a $100 stack and get called by suited junk/baby pairs it is +EV for you even though you occassionally take a big burn. My opinion.
