Request your opinion on these two hands in a tourney recently on Poker Stars. The hand history of the two hands that knocked me out are included. Thought my strategy was decent and my positions OK. Any observations? Thank you!

Here I'm figuring $350 to call allin......but go allin because I'm a good shot for side pot. Guy calls with A3o.......and catches the FLUSH.......

Very interesting hands! I thought the all-in preflop on the first hand was very well done. Your all-in on the second hand though was kind of iffy /images/graemlins/smirk.gif. I made an observation, you were outdrawn. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

My opinion is that the bad beat police need to come up in this thread with batons a-whackin'.

But seriously, it was a good play at the side pot there. And folding kings in that situation would be ridiculous; you can't pass up chances to double up like that, especially as a short stack.
