1)PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t1200 (9 handed) internettexasholdem.com

CO (t30922)
Button (t103218)
SB (t58483)
BB (t28173)
UTG (t13397)
UTG+1 (t21559)
MP1 (t27323)
Hero (t93411)
MP3 (t56807)

My first hand after switching tables. Button is tournament chip leader, and I'm like 3rd or something. We're 10 or so away from the money. I have button running at 30/20 over 75 hands.

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
3 folds, Hero raises to t3000, 2 folds, Button raises to t9600, 2 folds, Hero calls t6600.

Flop: (t20075) J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets t13200, Hero raises to t32000, Button raises to t93493, Hero folds.

Final Pot: t145568

Pretty sure I played this hand badly because I basically turned my hand into a bluff. Comments on all streets appreciated though.

2) Later, against same villian, we're one away from the money. I know that this guy is trying to take advantage of the bubble so the following hand occurs:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t1600 (7 handed) internettexasholdem.com

SB (t72617)
BB (t138093)
UTG (t28873)
MP1 (t26969)
MP2 (t20952)
Hero (t31757)
Button (t114032)

Preflop: Hero is CO with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
3 folds, Hero raises to t4000, Button calls t4000, 1 fold, BB raises to t17600, Hero raises to t31607, Button folds, BB calls t14007.

Flop: (t67964) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)

Turn: (t67964) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)

River: (t67964) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)

Final Pot: t67964

Villian shows T4o.

And then on the very next hand, still on the bubble:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t1600 (7 handed) internettexasholdem.com

Button (t71667)
SB (t106336)
BB (t28723)
UTG (t26819)
MP1 (t20802)
Hero (t69064)
CO (t109882)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
2 folds, Hero raises to t4000, 2 folds, SB raises to t14400, 1 fold, Hero raises to t68914, SB calls t54514.

Flop: (t138578) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)

Turn: (t138578) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)

River: (t138578) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)

Final Pot: t138578

I think average at the time was around 30k. I know that the chip leader of the tournament at the time had 120k, so this was a pretty big pot for 44. Is this spewy, especially considering the bubble?

Hand 1, you have to call the push. You almost have pot odds to call if you know he has kings. You could also just flat call the flop bet.

Preflop, I would push on the bubble without a read, but not everyone plays that way. I would definately push against most regulars.

Ya I knew I played hand 1 badly. I was wondering about preflop too, should I just fold preflop? It's my first hand on the table, and this guy is the only guy that can bust me.

You're talking about the 44 here, right?

Not sure if I like this. Not much of a read on villian and we have almost 80 bbs. It's a lot better than my line though [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
