I was sweating with my friend (he plays rush nl200/400) and such a spot occured:
$0.25/$0.50 No Limit Holdem

Stacks:
UTG (

UTG+1 (
$50.15)
CO (
$71.75)
BTN ($50)
Hero (SB) ($124.40)
BB ($58.20)
Pre-Flop: (
$0.75, 6 players)
Hero is SB J

J
3 folds,
BTN raises to $1.50,
Hero raises to $5.25,
BB raises to $12,
BTN folds, Hero ??
He said it's great spot to shove, because it's also great spot for BB to 4bet. BB had 25% 4bet but it was 1/4. What do you think? Thought it's too small sample to judge, and it's nl50.
About 20 minutes later this happened:

2 folds,
Hero raises to $1.50,
1 fold,
SB raises to $5.50,
BB raises to $13, Hero ??
SB 20/17 3bet 8.1% 3bet from sb 7%
BB 21/18 3bet 7.5% 3bet from bb 13% 4bet 15% 4bet range 2.6%
Had about 2k hands on both of them.
This time I ended up shoving, since they had fairly big numbers and I didn't expect to get called by worse than KK.
What are your thoughts on both spots?
