A few questionable shortstack hands

Bodog $22 FO. 1st hand villain is playing weak/tightish. Blinds are 100/200 no ante. BB's calling range is standard here.

Villain is BU (705)
Hero is SB (2,375)
BB (3,440)

Dealt to Hero [Ad9s]
6 folds, BU calls 200
Hero??

Same tourny a bit later, blinds are 125/250 no ante. Players behind me all have narrow calling ranges, but the SB & BB will call slightly wide.

Hero (1,745)
HJ (2,553)
CO (3,885)
BU (2,195)
SB (805)
BB (6,820)

Dealt to Hero [KhQd]
3 folds
Hero?

Shove both and if you even have to ask about these hands then you are playing way too tight.

both are all you can eat baby

Both were shoved, but then I was criticized by a very good winning player for both hands so I 2nd guessed myself. Thanks for the feedback guys.

take that guy off the list of players you think are good

ROFL, well played ^^

He is a bit of a NIT but his pokerdb stats show 60k winnings in 700 mtt's. Either way I value FTR opinions higher than his, so thanks again mcat.

He probably got lucky in a Sunday million and donked his way to riches.
