2 hands from 109 stars deepstack

[sunrise]

Okay, so I've finally made it to the final table, I'm chipleader. I think I have played very well, up until these two hands.


hand #1
villain is solid and knows i'm not raising any 2 in the CO, or at least thats what i think he thinks... so his reraise is clearly not a resteal. He's def. got a hand, and position to boot. My first instinct is that he has a pair. If so, I'm behind, but i have AK, and a ton of chips, so i push. Villain could also have AQ and AJ, but not as likely as a pair given my read on him. So, basically I think i made a bad push. I could have easily flat called and re-evaluated on the flop. ok so this hand is not exciting.

hand 2: This villain is a little more aggressive. I've seen him make large reraises with sevens PF. He's def. unpredictable. Here I elect to call with AT o/s, perhaps my first mistake, maybe not. So check check on flop. I turn trip tens, he checks again. Okay so maybe he's slowplaying AJ on me or he has 99 or JJ. I bet my tens and he min checkraises me. Here I should have seen the warning flags, but i said OK, lets see a river. River I hit the A and make a boat and again he checks to me. So I have tens full of aces and I make a nice value bet and get check/raised all in, and i call. Ok, so what does villain have and did i make a mistake, or not? ok probably not the greatest post, and its late and i'm tired.
