First hand is fine.

Second hand however I don't necessarily like flatting with 14BB to an UTG raise AJo is a tricky hand but I say shove it depending on the villains range (AQ is a definite shove and AJ is very close id say). That said post flop after 3-betting I am calling the shove on a board that dry.

Hand 1 seems standard. bad river imo.

Hand 2 I fold here but you have to give his UTG range some credit but at the same time why is he min raising UTG? It's 1955 to us to call a pot worth about 4k you are getting about 2:1 on your money and if he is a spewy player it's a call but I lean towards the fold here. If he has AK/AQ we are a dog, and we pretty much lose to A3/A7/33/77. The only hands we really beat here in a UTG range would be TT-KK.

hand 1 is ok i guess

hand 2 you really need to have some info on the player whether you shove or fold pf

as played i like check call rather than check raise as it allows him to keep bluffing/valuebetting worse on the turn/river

Thanks for your replies. I definitely agree that hand 2 is read dependent, something which i didn't have. I actually called the second hand and he showed AK which i lost obviously.
