Very interesting spots. AJo gets gross in these late spots, and I’m curious what others think because I could be way off. So the first hand, I think I’m always 3betting small in this dynamic (to like 6bb). We’d like to isolate the fish and they’ll often call with worse. But this definitely discourages BB from coming into the hand with nonsense. We never want to flat and give the shark a good chance to squeeze. If we were to flip the two players with the shark opening and the fish behind us, I’d mostly prefer to rip this. I don’t want to play a pot with the shark player OOP this late and deep and AJ is a good candidate for this action. (But I also might find a couple of folds and just never tell anyone.)
Hand 2: I need to know how aggro SB is. But based on your description, they’re very 3bet happy and fish is dead money. I’m fist pump jamming this hand. If these players are reversed and the fish has taken this action, I’m running for the hills and folding.
