In hand 2 he ended up having AQo and I held.
I don't think we give up too much power in the 2nd hand by losing, and I think the power we gain by winning is much more valuable. We'll still have 700k and have the table covered if we lose either of these pots, and with the second being so close to neutral cEV, it's just a spot I like to gamble to try and take control. With only 23 players left and the blinds getting up there, I think we've got to be taking any edge possible, and gambling with our extra chips on neutral cEV spots to try and build up enough to WIN the tournament. Down to almost 2 tables, we can't expect to get many more spots to get our chips in good, or decent, and need to take every chance I think. With a 1.2 million stack we've got a LOT of room to play, and the 700k stack really isn't much different than 900k imo.
The difference in the first hand is we don't get enough chips if we win, and I think we are actually well behind his range.
