    1 Noooooooooooo don't fold this.
    2 This is really close and I don't hate folding.

    I push first hand, and can see an argument for the fold in the second.
    This is not my signature. I just write this at the bottom of every post.

    1. I can't get away from this

    2. I fold without a good read. It's very likely he is trying to isolate the BB, if I noticed he has been raising light, I may flip a coin in my head and shove it.

    Definitely push the first hand. Sometimes you're behind and you'll lose. Other times you're way ahead and finish the hand with a huge stack.

    The second hand is closer decision. We might be good, but it's tough to be sure. Fold is ok.

    Hand 1: I puke in my mouth a bit, tank a while and probably push the all-in button. Fold is probably best because even at $5 this is a standard AA/KK bet inducing you to go all-in.

    Hand 2: If he's a stealey guy I'd push but I think a fold is best.

    Hand 1 I am pushing.

    As for hand 2, I have 2 questions. Has he been active and is 4x his standard raise size? If yes to both of those a think a shove would be best, otherwise the fold is fine

    the first hand looked to me like AA's or KK's he hadn't 3 bet sinse i've been at the table, i think jj, AK, and QQ are the only others in his range, but with the amount of money in the pot and the chance to get a big stack i definatly made a mistake folding.

    Hand 2- Villan hadn't been opening very many pots but when he did 4x was a pretty standard raise for him
