Two Hands

[Sprayed]

First Hand:
This guy has been really aggressive. I put him on a pretty big hand, but I would think that if he had AA/KK here he would just standard reraise instead of push. I wasn't getting out of line and I was playing fairly tight. I can't call here right? Would it be wise to gambool here? At best I'm against AQ+. Easy fold?

Hand Two:
I think that I made a mistake here by raising after the limper. I should have limped behind to see a flop. Can or should I lay this down? I think I'm definitely beat here but folding leaves me with ~8bb. Villain is a strong player and with the limp from the big stack in EP I would think that villain must have a hand that he isn't afraid to go to the ropes with.

i fold both. 1 is close, I would go with JJ here, TT... I am glad you didn't have TT.

Limp after limper in hand two a better line pre?

First hand is a easy fold, I'd need AK/QQ+.

2nd sucks. Either limp along or push. You're committed now with 1/3th your stack in.

[thenonsequitur]

Hand 1 looks like a fold to me. You could easily be dominated by a higher pocket pair, and if not you're likely only a minor favorite against AK or AQ. Even if It's possible you're dominating 88, I still fold.

Hand  1:	45.9251 %  	45.71% 	00.22%      { 99 }
Hand  2:	54.0749 %  	53.86% 	00.22%      { QQ-TT, 88, AQs+, AQo+ }

I think both are close.

Hand 1 - smells strongly to AK. But with your stack, I still let him have this one.

Hand 2 - I don't mind how you played it by raising but with your stack there, I think your raise should be a push. Otherwise, yeah just limp behind if you wanna play a flop.
