Tight Poker

After reading HOHII, specifically the chapters about inflection points, I have been playing heaps more aggressively. Below are two examples where I pushed with hands that last week would have been insta-folds. Thoughts?

I like the first one. I do not like the second one.

First one's good. Second one seems closer, I would probably fold but I could see how it'd be +EV.

You're UTG, hardly any FE and have Q3. Not good. Even with a very low M, I don't like it.
