hand 1, raise and fold to a shove. cbet any board.

hand 2, idk, call or fold preflop

if hand 1 was limped to you i'd raise it, but as is i'd call... you have setmining odds which is superlol, plus a decent hand.

hand 2 i'd fold until you have a read that he's crazy, most shorties own you hard with their ep raise vs 88

[elipsesjeff]

1) call

2) fold

[allabout]

Hand 1 I'd often just shove pre w/TT+ AK and AQs. The fact that he minraises UTG seems like he doesn't have a very good ss strategy to me. I think a lot of shorties just want to gamble it up and will call with the range below and often even wider. If we call its gonna be hard to get his stack oop imo unless we hit a T and he hits an overcard. I guess since he's unknown it makes it a little more difficult but he's still a ss minraising UTG. Another option might be to be willing to get it in on any flop if he's one of those bluffy spewy short stackers but again he's unknown.
BTW I wouldn't do this vs most known, tight ssers.

Hand 2 ya I fold.

1. Call
2. Fold

[Deanglow]

call the first, folding the 2nd is ok but get in 1010+, AQs

[allabout]

Ya, I was thinking we were calling $1 for a $10 stack in hand 1 and was really confused, but now on looking at it closer (which I should have done in the first place) I see we're getting 20-1 on a call $.50 for a $10 stack.
