    Hand 1 (QQ) - there's only 2 realistic ways you are ahead - 1) they both have AK, 2) 1 has AK the other has JJ.

    I think this is a barf and fold.

    Hand 2 - All that coldcalling from FT players means nothing and they gave you an opportunity to push, but I still couldn't put you on less than AQ here. QQ+ I definitely call; JJ and AK are defendable.

    You guys nailed it on the head (I guess that's why you are such good players!) Hand 1 -- I insta-mucked without thinking twice, there is no way QQ can be good there given the action. BamaEd had JJ, Antibus had KK. J came on the river of course

    Hand 2 -- I had 99 and was just isolating because I felt the two guys that flatted him were weak. They were just calling due to the fact they had large stacks, stronger hands would have to isolate. LWalker called with JJ and I felt that was actually questionable, given the action in front of him and his 21 bb stack, I usually would fold JJ here.
