Hi, I played my first serious MTT today and I felt I made a ton of mistakes and was wondering if any of you guys would be willing to look over my key hands and comment on them and let me know how I could have played them better. It's a lot of hands to look over, so thanks in advance to anyone who comments!
I had a tight image for most of the tourney, all the hands I showed down were premium hands (unless I was a blind).

Villian in this hand was a LAG so he could have easily had some sort of two pair when he raised me on the turn but I hoped he was just raising a weak ace and called. Knowing this would it have been safe to fold the turn or the river? Is the call down ok?

I have no idea what I was thinking during this hand, limping UTG with 7-8s. Should I have bet the flop or turn and tried to win the pot? Villian was a decent player, I didn't have much of a read on him.
