18 players, 8 left, 4 places paid, villain won his big stack with QQ on one big pot, i've been watching the 2008 WSOP while playing so no reads but he looks solid.Just a little sanity check.

I found really weird that he didn't bet the flop, he had control of the hand, a lot of chips. So he completely missed or he had a monster. Ok to fold right?Then like 3 hands laterPokerStars Game #19307715491: Tournament #99666546, $1.00+$0.20 Hold'em NoLimit - Level VI (100/200) - 2008/08/02 - 18:30:54 (ET)Table '99666546 1' 9-max Seat #8 is the buttonSeat 1: WattaWino (2140 in chips) Seat 2: sonmon (1660 in chips) Seat 4: galdini32 (3935 in chips) Seat 5: EarlyBird67 (9740 in chips) Seat 6: O.DeLaHoya (2620 in chips) Seat 7: siquinte (2000 in chips) Seat 8: G7C7L (2595 in chips) Seat 9: seajay51 (2310 in chips) seajay51: posts small blind 100WattaWino: posts big blind 200*** HOLE CARDS ***Dealt to siquinte [Jh Jc]sonmon: folds galdini32: raises 600 to 800EarlyBird67: calls 800O.DeLaHoya: folds Insta shove right? or can i just call and then see what happens?Sorry for not converting, i tried to do it but for some reason it didn't show bet sizes

hand 2 I don't think you can call for 40% of your stack and be scared off the flop, that would be horrible. So yeah, I'm okay w/ pushing.hand 1 is weird, the name leads me to think old person which leads me to think they're telling the truth about folding. Then again it's probably some angle shooting dolla player...and the dolla players loooove the slow play and min raises w/ monsters. Fold and move on.

push both pf

push both pf

True story. You are not deep enough to set mine the first hand and playing oop with shallow stacks against the CL is not going to be fun nor profitable

I've found a good rule of thumb here is to do what copernicus would do :PFirst is a marginal push, easy if he raises a lot of buttons. Second is pretty obvious.

You're trying to play too much postflop poker with a short stack. Both hands are PF pushes.
