    its more marginal in hand 1 vs unknown given stack size preflop, right?
    i think its definitely +EV in hand 2.

    It's not that marginal, against a range of TT+/AK a call is good and as he's unknown he could be pushing all sorts of crap.

    Yeah I like hand2 more than 1 also.

    Hand1 I think it's rare you're getting any better than a coinflip here, and often dominated... A read of maniac helps

    hand 1 - fold
    hand 2 - you've most likely got 14 outs = good call

    Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information.

    Are you guys serious about folding hand 1? I did the maths and if he's shoving JJ+/AK it's about neutral EV, so if he's shoving any wider it's a call. Vs an unknown 40bb stack i think it's an instacall.
