Without reads I fold the first one, but many players push wide from the button because of the antes, which could make this a call. Though most randoms don't push this wide.

The second situation is an easy fold. You're on the bubble and second in chips! You cannot expect villain to fold to a shove, as he is commited with his raise.

Fold.
He will call your shove for sure since he will be pot commited.
And the best scenario for you is that you slightly ahead of his range.

What!?

Seriously, hand 2 is an easy shove unless the blinds are really loose.

Hand 2 is more difficult. Call if he you have a read that villian is pushing loose, fold otherwise I think. Most players at this level doesn't push wide enough.

I'm thinking fold both...My advice is A-rag is beating ur hand in hand 1....Furthermore I think that ur 2nd in chips in #2 and u can wait for a better spot

At the 3.4 level on stars I dont think alot of players have alot of comprehension of tourney ev and icm so yeah chuck em both and move on
