Hi. It was my first time that far in big MTT. I usualy play mid stakes STT (54s,108s).

I wanted to post two hands I played at FT against same Villain, to hear comments if my play was ok.

First hand I pushed because I felt that each of them had up to 7% calling range (small stacks seemed week). Second hand I pushed, because I didn't want to check (maybe I should?), and I think that any bet would make me commited to the pot. I wanted to win the tournament, wasn't looking for jumping up in the payout ladder.

1 - good

2- i'd prefer a preflop shove but as played fine
