$11 two-table SNG a couple of hands

Second hand of the tourny...no previous history with either two. The pre-flop betting is what sort of had me wondering. Push, call, raise, fold ???

Villian 0/0 over 16 hands. I debated folding this but at this buy-in we are always pushing over right?

First hand (JJ) - this kind of over-raise is most likely to be something like AK or a small pocket pair than QQ+. Particularly with all the dead chips in the pot, shove over.

Second hand (KK) - we are always, 100% shoving this over. 16 hands isn't nearly enough of a read to even think about folding this.

Hand 1 I'd consider folding but I'm a nit. Hand 2 even my nittish self is thrilled to get it in here.
