Hand 1 is a great hand. You have a lot of outs if you're behind, and TP2K is really good. Unless you have a strong read you're up against that nut straight or trips, I call. Folding is weak-tight, IMHO.

Hand 2 is just a push into the wrong hand. It happens. There are worse situations heads up.

As for hand 3, the only hand that beats you is 3 Aces. You want a lot of money into that pot.

I do not make that call in Hand 1. Call me Weak/Tight - but I do not call the all-in there that early in the tournament and with your chip position. I wait and crush the SB player later in the tournament.

I notice that the SB player is the current chip leader - I am assumming he did not get there by accident. In order for him to make this early all-in bet - he has AXs or a set. I let it go and get him later. BTW - I just checked the odds - if he has a set against your flush draw - he is a huge favorite. Obviously if he has AXs and the flush hits - it is really, really painful.

(Un- Deleted, I'm a moron and cant read but I read it right at one point.)

Hands 1 and 3 seem fine to me.

Hand 2 seems somewhere between bad and dismal.

I haven't read the answers, but you are either dead in the water, or a coin toss with the caller in front of you.
If you don't believe me, run a sim vs 89cc and you may realise just how awful A2s is.
If there is no limper, then fine, fire away, but this guy is highly unlikely to fold and can have any number of hands that kill you, from 33 to A7 as well as some legitimate limps.

The ONLY hands you want him to show you are 22 or A2, throw it away and raise the blinds with Qxo next hand if you're that desperate to get rid of chips.

I'm aware that you are short stacked, and I'm very tired (hence I sound rather harsh), but really, the idea of bluffing is to get people to fold, and the idea of value betting is to get value........

This early? It's down to 5 players. And how often do someone play a flopped set like like HU on a board like that? I suppose he's happy to take it down right there and then given all the possible scary cards that can come on the turn.
