HAND #1
1k guaraneed on Ignition
ITM 14 left
7 handed
400/800/80

HERO SB (27bb's)
BB (23 bb's)
UTG+1 (32 bb's)

UTG+1 min opens
HERO calls in sb w Q9DD
BB calls

FLOP 7c Ad 8D 5,360

HERO (26 bb's left) checks
BB bets 1,546
UTG+1 raises to 4,700
HERO?

Is this just an easy fold or are we ever gii here?
Any other ways to play it... Should I don'k lead and try to gii on flop?

HAND #2 FAIRLY CLOSE TO THE MONEY NOT EXACTLY SURE
HERO 43 bb's raises ak 2.3x utg
MP 3 bet shoves for 35 bb's
HJ calls (is allin) for 17 bb's
HERO???

I'm really not a fan of gii w ak but what do you make of this?

#1 - I'm not a fan of having a calling range from sb this shallow - esp with BB having a nice squeeze shove stack - as played virtually no fold equity and behind Ax so yes got to fold.

#2 - Not a brilliant spot but don't think we can do anything except call. V1's range is likely capped and odds against V2 are too good.

Hand #1 easy fold, no doubts.
Hand #2 fold for ICM. If mp3 knockout the HJ you will have a significant pay jump.

Never make this call. You have around 33% to win if the others players have a pair smaller the KK or AA. If MP 3 wiln you will left 13 BB and jump to a health stack to a short. Fold from ICM

ICM factor is not especially big here and we have decent pot odds against the stronger range. Close -ish but a call for me

You say fold because of a potential pay jump but were not even in the money yet... OP says hes near the money but not sure.

Im not thrilled to be getting it in with AK when i could potentially only have 8BB remaining from a 43BB stack but folding here is too nitty imo
