Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t40 (9 handed) converter

Hero (t2060)
CO (Villain) (t1425)

SB (t590)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with 6d, 6c.
UTG calls t40, 1 fold, MP1 raises to t80, 1 fold, Hero raises to t240, CO (Villain) raises to t400, 3 folds, UTG folds, MP1 folds, Hero calls t160.

UTG has been making these min raises with anything, and I got bored of it.

Hero checks, Villain checks.

Turn: (t980) 8c (2 players)
Hero checks, Villain bets t85, Hero calls t85.

Hero checks, Villain checks.

Final Pot: t1150


Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (4 handed) converter

Hero (t3635)
Button (Villain) (t4885)
SB (t2300)
BB (t4180)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with As, 6s.
Hero calls t100, Button (Villain) raises to t200, 2 folds, Hero calls t100.

I'd been really aggressive recently, and so I called to avoid a table sheriff re-raise.

Flop: (t550) 7d, 2s, 8h (2 players)
Hero checks, Villain checks.

Turn: (t550) 5s (2 players)
Hero bets t250, Villain raises to t1300, Hero calls t1050.

River: (t3150) 6c (2 players)
Hero checks, Villain checks.

Final Pot: t3150

What do you all reckon?

the first hand i would think about folding before i would raise that much. i look at med. pp's, especially early on in a tourny as playing only for set value, thus you would want to encourage more limpers and see a flop as cheaply as possible. as with the second hand, it doesnt really look like you are getting the odds to call on the turn with only one card to come. i would probably let it go and find a better spot. looks fine other than that.

First hand fold pf. Second hand I fold to the big reraise on the turn unless I'm certain that villain will pay me off if I hit my flush.
