Hand 2. Min raise.
You're playing way too tight imo. If you're going to play like this you might aswell register then go out shopping or do the garden lol.
I've been on the forums for a month or so and i know who the ones to listen too are..the guy in post #3 Ivan.
Sure villain could have a pair and you don't want to be taking flips, however range is so wide shoving with 5bb you will be up against Ax or Kx or often enough to be well ahead, when you are ahead. There are far more 2 card combos than paired hands to tip the odds in favour of a call.
Hand 1 - Need to be opening and depending on table dynamic can min raise or shove there.
With this in mind as well as the shorty in the BB it makes it much more of a fold.
Pretty marginal decision either way but with a comfortable stack and 2 micro stack then possibly chip preservation can be the deciding factor here.
Hand 1 (A7 suited) - 50/50 really, you could make an argument for a raise or a fold here. You have a decent enough stack that you don't need to get involved with a raggy suited ace, but if everyone is playing super tight then why not! Personally, it would just depend on how I felt at the time and what my instinct was telling me. You're not in position though which would lean me slightly more towards folding.
Hand 2 (AK off) - It really depends on the other stack sizes at the table. Don't forget in a DYM we are looking to finish in the top three and not necessarily first. If there were two players who had say less than 1000 chips, just sit on your stack and wait for them to bust out. However, if not, then I would be shoving there. You're unlikely to get a better chance to gain chips than that at this stage - especially considering EsPaN1103's stack size in comparison to the big blind, his range should be quite wide.
I'm still developing my poker, so don't take my advice as gospel - but I do play low-level DYM's a lot of late and these responses would be my thought processes :-)
