    hand 1: id almost be tempted to get to SD by calling all those weak bets. I think i probly fold to the push.

    hand 2: stats would be very helpful in this hand. I like this line vs. an aggro villain who overplays TP hands, but there are alot of villains at this level who will still pay any price to chase their flush draw.
    eeevees are not monies yet...they are like baby monies.

    Hand 1 - I fold the flop... I don't think you can predict your outs in this spot and wind up with enough outs where calling makes the turn a good spot.

    Hand 2 - Meh. I think you played it fine. I think you could argue for a river push as he seems kinda weak if he is holding the nuts. I think he pays off a push with a lot of worse hands like a lower two pair etc.
