 In both these hands my image is taggish.

utg is a shorty which I completely ignored in the hand as his range is wide and irrelevant. Button is a major station running 55/16 will call if hits any piece but has a went to showdown % of 25.

Hand 1:- What happens to BB on the turn?
Hand 2:- Fold turn. Once he reraises why are you pushing? He has minimum a slow played ace. I'd also C-bet the flop once checked to.

overbetting the pot on the turn in hand one makes no sense.
just call the turn in hand 2.

Hand #1: Bet pot on the turn rather than pushing.
Hand #2: Fold to his re raise.

 For hand 1 a couple of you are recommending pot sized bets on the turn, thats more than half my stack. What is your plan for a blank river? I'm essentially pot committed, why not just put it in on the turn when I'm not drawing dead?

why did you shove over the last 9.60 in hand 2? obv hes not folding so you might as well just call and then fold if you miss.
