    Default Two hands for analysis please.

    These are two hands from a 6-max $5.50 SnG.

    Villain on Hand 1 was a donk who had called off a load of chips early on. His check and min-raise after the flop seemed suspicious though.

    On Hand 2, I had pushed the last 3 hands and BB seemed very weak, folding a lot of hands pre-flop. I decided to just complete here but what do I do with my OESD after the flop?

    -----Hand 1-----
    Big Blind is t30 (6 handed)

    SB (t875)
    Hero (t1190)
    UTG (t1580)
    MP1 (t1080)
    MP2 (t1540)
    Button (t935)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with T , T .
    1 fold, MP1 calls t30, MP2 calls t30, 1 fold, SB raises to t60, Hero calls t30, MP1 folds, MP2 calls t30

    Flop: (t210) 7 , 9 , 4 (3 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets t180, MP2 folds, SB raises to t360, Hero ??


    -----Hand 2-----
    Big Blind is t300 (2 handed)

    Hero (t3300)
    BB (t3900)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with J , 8 .
    Hero calls t150, BB checks

    Flop: (t600) T , 4 , 9 (2 players)
    BB bets t3600 (all-in), Hero ??

    Hand 1 - I'd raise it pre-flop . . yeah his mini-raise is kind of suspicious, but I'd make it somewhere around 180 to go. If he then shoves I think you leave yourself a decision whether to fold or call.

    As played again his mini-raise on the flop screams either stupidity or a monster, I'd guess probably the latter donks tend to have a love for mini-raising gigantic hands. I'd probably lay it down, but I'd be raising it pre-flop to hopefully make this an easier decision.

    Hand 2 - If the BB seems pretty weak, I'm folding ... he's not getting his chips in the middle without at least a pair, probably two-pair scared of the spades. You've only got 4 likely outs and one of those could give him the flush. If he's weak, fold and continue to attack him on later hands.
