A couple of preflop decisions late in the FTP 500k.

[iMsoLucky0]

10k/20k, 2500 ante, 23 players left. This is at the end of my 2nd orbit at the table and I haven't seen UTG play a hand. I am chipleader with my 870k stack and I think second is around 800k and a bunch of people in the 400-600 range.

Seat 9: BthephenomP (279,598)

The button is in seat #3

Call, raise, fold?


10 minutes later, pretty much the same position as the first hand. I think I was still chipleader, but doesn't matter much.

I had learned a little while before this hand that villian is a pocketfiver and probably has some clue as to how to play tournaments. He lost a big chunk of his stack a little earlier to me when I opened UTG+1 to 42k (8/16k), got a caller, he squeezed from the big blind to 140k with 300 behind and folded to my shove. Other than that, no real reads.
