I have played villain a fair bit and they have never struck me as anything decent or tricky. They then did the limp/shove move which really surprised me. It has to be aces here doesn't it???

Maybe they cant outplay you so just would rather flip in this spot, cant see it being aces if she played it bad
although you got plenty left think JJ is good enough pre-flop when similar chipstacks and opponent isnt a total nit
It's probably AA or a medium pocket pair but I've also seen it done with AK and AQ.
It comes down to the fact that you're calling rather than shoving, it's a DYM (no need to take risks whatsoever), you have 23 BB left (very comfortable), and you're good enough to lay it down and still be confident of cashing.
Let this one go and keep an eye on the player until he does it again, gets called, and make your note for the future.

I'm on 2600 chips BUT have shoved the last 2 hands and got them both through preflop without showing.
Shove again or fold and risk going through the blinds as more likely to get looked up due to previous shoving?
I actually think you could fold this as you'll still have 5 BB left having gone through the blinds. However, you may keep getting shoved on after the blinds so you may not find a better spot.
With Blades on a shortstack there's a chance Zac will take him on for you and win. However, there's every chance he'l still lay down to a shove. In my experience it's better to 'look after yourself' in DYMs than rely on anybody else. I think you have to shove these here mate to be honest.
I take your point about shoving the last 2 and I fully understand what you mean, however, these should be good players and you can damage any of their chances of cashing, so they should not be calling lighly in my opinion.

Hand 2; I fold looking at the stack sizes. You are very close to second, 55 isn't enough for me with 3 to act, the BB and button will probably fold all but premium hands, but if this is your third shove in a row the SB might take you on with a fairly wide range, if you lose a flip you're now well adrift in 4th and about to hit the blinds. Also the SB may shove on the BB with any 2 here, the BB is much more likely to call the SB than he is to call you, so if you decide to pass it may be over at the end of this hand anyway, without you needing to take a risk. Also remember that if you do pass now and are forced to fold both blinds on this orbit you will still be sat with a very playable stack of 2000.
Hi Phil, don't think you need advice from me on either of these but my 2p's worth is:
Hand 1 - Fold. It's still early and you've got 2300 chips behind.
Hand 2 - Fold. Probably. Or Shove. Or min raise, folding to a re-raise from Zachariah. See, this poker's an easy game isn't it? 8- />
Coys!
Hand 2 - i fold i hate shoving 3 in a row on a DYM.
