    Hand 1 I can go either way. I tend to raise and fold to a push from anyone except MP, but I'll often just fold this depending on the table.

    Hand 2 I push. I'm fairly sure this is always +EV here.
    Just dipping my toes back in.

    Hand 1 - either 250 to go and fold to a push by anybody except MP1 or BB (depending on reads), or open fold is also fine.

    Hand 2 - I agree with bjsaust, open shove.

    Hand 1 is a fold and I think Hand 2 is super marginal and not really +EV. I'd let it go if I thought I had any kind of an edge over the table. I don't have SNGWiz though. Can someone plug it in with calling ranges of 99+, AK for everybody?

    I plugged it into SNG Wiz with a calling range of 5% for all players (99+, AQ+) and shoving is +0.54% EV. If they all call with 8% (66+, ATs+, AJo+) then it is +0.26% EV.

    Our shoving range here is something like ATs+,AJo+,77+ isnt it?

    Might be a touch tighter with 11 bbs, but should be around that.

    First hand is a turbo fold imo.
    Second hand is a shove. Folding is pretty weak here.
