both hands were in MTT's, they flop similar and both the villains play them similar. Hand 2 played out 1st and this was in my head on the first hand 
 
Hand one is a low stakes bounty hunter. The villain here is very loose and his pre flop calling range is wide. He has also called very large bets with gutshot straight draws and is hitting. The last 3 or 4 hands i have been holding big starting cards and so i have been on a run of pre flop raises so my image may be LAG. Post flop i hit top pair top kicker but the board has paired up. I put in a big raise and i face a min raise, surely i cant flat so should i chuck my cards away or go for the shove.

Hand 2 was the £100 freeroll generously set up by elsadog. I have not been on the table for very but villains post flop game seems solid however he does seem to play top pair very strongly. Obviously i cant fold after my raise is shoved can i. So have i played this hand fine thus far and should i call the shove and this is very close to the button also.

    1 - call, if he has a 5, so be it you're going broke, but a high % of the time he's donk betting with an A which is weaker than yours, you'll probz get it on the turn as a 90% favorite. 

    2- you serious? easy call

    so hand one im better of flat calling with the view of getting it in on the turn, rather than shove or  folding.

    hand 2 of course im never gonna fold there of course i cant, but have i played the hand fine upto now
