Just would like to check 2 hands I've played in 150 players $33 MTT on Stars.
1) Average Stack is about t2700,
CO seems to be taggy, but also seems to have loosened up since he got a lot of chips, BB is unknown.

cbet O.K.? (I guess yes on this board)
I first wanted to 2barrel the turn, but that would have potcommitted me, so I just have given up the hand unimproved on turn.
2) Exactly 2 hands later. UTG+1 is unknown, BU is the same villain as BB in hand 1.

Final Pot: t2155
After losing the pot in 1), I only have about 1/2 of average stack and blinds will rising in 3 mins, so I decide that ATs is good enough for a raise in my situation even from UTG.
At the flop, I miss and didn't want to cbet OOP.
After the weak bets at the turn, I decide that both can have only marginal hands, perhaps something like 99 or A5 or even more weaker and try to squeeze them out of the pot.
The main problem should be that I don't have really here a made hand to represent, as I'd play nearly every made hand different. O.K., it worked in this spot, but generally is it worth to make such risky moves??
