Default Live 100+20 euro freezeout. Few simple?? hands.

3 hands from the business end of the 100+20

Hand 1, 14 remain. 7 get paid. 7 on each table. Blinds are 1.5k/3k. I have circa 24k after I post my SB. Folded around to button (35k+) who limps. I decide to call (foolishly?) with Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. BB (25k) checks his option.

Flop is Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I figure I've the best hand but I decide I'll CRAI. BB pushes, Button thinks for a while and calls. Button is fairly poor player who has called all in bets with pathetic hands. (An inside straight draw on the turn comes to mind) BB seems solid enough. Actions on me.

Hand 2. Early stages of final table. 9 remain.

Blinds have risen to 2k/4k. Folded to me in SB (33k). I look at Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. BB (11k)
is very tight player whose BB I have stolen almost every hand in previous table

Push or fold...

Hand 3. Folded to me on button with J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. I have 18k behind. SB is villain from hand 1. BB is unknown player with about 40k. Push or wait for better spot??

Hands 2 and 3 are trivial enough I think. It's hand 1 that was the hardest decision.

Hand 1: definitely fold PF... You don't wanna be OOP against 2 guys who have you covered with a crappy hand like that imo...

Hand 2: Push is fine imo...

Hand 3: SB is the Button from Hand1?

Hand 1. I probably complete preflop, but you could push. I would never fold preflop in a live tournament. Too much chance to steal the pot later on. Easy fold on the flop.

Hand 2 and 3. Easy pushes.
