I recently started playing on the 18 person Stars turbo tables and I was wondering if I could get any advice on some hands I played, or any advice on playings these tournaments at all. Sorry in advance for not using the hand converter. Also for the first hand I would like to say that I had been short stacked and had been pressing my odds pretty hard to make it into the money so my image was very loose and wild. Such as I had T9s on the button with 1200 at 200/400 and raised all in after it was folded to me and got called by a low pair and I drew out.

The 2nd hand in question happened during the very 2nd hand of this tournament. I don't know if it was played well and just went wrong or if I made some form of mistake which caused me to be outdrawn.

Why didn't you use the handconverter, it makes it much easier for the people who are likely to help you to read. The easier you make it for them the more likely you are to get an answer.

Hand 1:
Late stage of a SNG with huge blinds, you have to push here, so you did the right thing and just got unlucky. Don't worry about it.

Hand 2:
Preflop:
I'd push preflop after the reraise. You've got the best hand you can have and you're going to have any raising hand (except another AA) beat.

Flop:
You want to raise all in on the flop. The only hand you worry about here is TT and if you are scared of that you have to fold. Don't ever call.
You were probably always going to lose this hand with the T on the river. You got your money in when you were ahead that's the main thing.
