Both seem reasonable: 88 is pretty gross, if you perceived him to be pretty tight folding is not a bad play, think pretty often w just got it in vs the dude who 3bet w okay equity. Idk 88 is probably the exact borderline hand for me

The 88 hand is a tricky spot.  However,  I feel like when you get called you are flipping at best.  Calling is out of the question.  In my opinion it is a fold but it’s not automatic.  

 

I think the ATo hand was played perfectly.  People are limp folding all the time in these low stacks tournaments.  I fist pump pile there, just unlucky someone woke up.  

 

Hope this helped GL on the tables.

What others have said, I fold the 88 hand and jam the ATo hand.

When you have a villain with 90BB raise and than a 3 bet, you should never be jamming with 88. Just fold in this spot. 

 

Second hand- When you have 14 bb left, your looking to chip up and win an all in pot. When villain min raises if you think hes opening wide Its okay to shove. But your hand isn’t all that great post flop vs another top ace hand. I think you can definitely be waiting for a better spot to shove ie. When you are first to act, on the button etc.

ATo hand is fine, 88 hand is not. Super spewy to expect fold equity there versus the tiny 3-bet, those are often pretty strong in that spot.
