Hand 1: against an unknown I would expect button to have AA or KK there based on the 4 bet from him although it's possible it can be AK or even worse... Sometimes people make crazy moves at $10. But against an average player I'd put KK+ in his range here. There can probably be a good case made for folding but at this level I think shoving and folding can be pretty close.


Hand 2 the only problem I have with it is I'd raise it up more PF I'd got to at least 2 if not a little more due to our position.

These seem more like disguised bad beat stories than hand histories.

Hand #1, not sure why you're focused on UTG and CO when it is button who is raising and re-raising. If you're lucky button has QQ but I think you will be up against AA/KK here often enought to make it -EV. Still not a horrible play.

Hand #2 you really need to make the raise bigger preflop, then you can just push any non-ace flop when you get these many callers. Buddy-list and move on.
