Hand #1 Not much of a read. New table. Everyone's favorite...... the min-raise. I'n the big stack at the table. We just passed the bubble into the money with 5 tables left.

Your up.

Hand #2.

I think I messed this one up twice. First by not raising the min-raise here, 2nd I could have re-raised when it came back around to me.

Not very far into it at all. No reads yet. Would he have called a raise and a re-raise with anything that had a 3 in it? No way he has a bigger pair than me or he would have folded. Only hand I'm really afraid of here is 66. He could have 77, 88, or 99 here as well. Your move.

I completely forgot about this thread.

In Hand #1 I bet out $4000 more on the turn, but when he called I shut down and we checked it down. He showed JJ which I didn't expect because of the min-raise preflop.

In Hand#2 I pushed and he showed [4d]. Wasn't expecting that either.

I ended up cashing in the 1st tourny, but not the 2nd.
