Few options on the 1st one. Looking over my hands, I generally only have nutted hands and some airballs with some backdoor potential as a flop/check raising range out when defending the BB, so looking to maybe work in some genuine semi bluffs. As played thoughts?

Second one is a spot where you have people limping on less than 10bb stacks, creating overlimps and you have a middling ACE. Shove good or complete sb?

#1 - flop seems fine - not sure why you are not raising the turn though - got to at least try to gii with the nuts

#2 - don't like the risk reward ratio with a shove - CO can have a better ace here - just call for me

H1: definitely need to be raising the turn. The check is fine, but after villain bets we need raise to be looking to get as many chips in as possible.

H2: Would rather just 3/bet to isolate, BB will be folding most of their range there, but if they do call you're probably crushed.
