Hi. There are two hands. What do you think about open shoving in these two situations? The second hand is a zoom heads-up tournament. Hand number one the opponent on the BB is a very loose player with the pre-flop calls. Do you think is still ok, with 18 bbs?
#Hand 01
$3.30 - Hold'em No Limit - 400/800 (200 ante) - 5 players
UTG: 13,663 (17 bb)
CO: 14,340 (18 bb)
BU (Hero): 14,698 (18 bb)
SB: 2,641 (3 bb)
BB: 23,731 (30 bb)
Pre-Flop: (2,200) Hero is BTN with T♥ Q♥
2 players fold, Hero raises to 14,498 (all-in)
#Hand 02
$3.30 - Hold'em No Limit - 600/1,200 (120 ante) - 2 players
SB (Hero): 21,700 (18 bb)
BB: 20,612 (17 bb)
Pre-Flop: (2,040) Hero is SB with 3♦ A♦
Hero raises to 21,580 (all-in)

I don't think either is 100% a shove but I think they're both fine as shoves.

With 5 minute blinds I probably shove these. 10-15 minute blinds I raise most often. Not bad either way though
