    Heres another one, a little different. After I pushed I immediately regretted it. Is this good, as its the same line i would take with AT+ 22+ KQs and generally how I was playing for the last while as a short stack (push/fold)

    Hand 1 isn't that bad. You need to raise and a 3x raise is putting in half your stack which is committing u anyways so the push is fine.

    Hand 2 - the push isn't terrible but it's table dependent. do whatever u have to do to get action there.
