Hand Analysis

First hand in a MTT, I'd like your opinion on how you would've played it, both before the flop, and after the flop. I'd also like your opinion on the other guy's play, chippernow.

I am HalosMgr

i think you mis-pasted your first hand in there

the second hand

it's fine, you got your money in with the nuts and it didn't hold up, please don't bother posting bad beats. no one cares about them except for you.

First hand seems like the wrong hand posted, it's not a first MTT hand as you only have 83 remaining in chips. Even at this point, T8o is a fold preflop.

Second hand you don't many other choices. You're not getting him to fold for just another 1500 in chips after his raise and, honestly, you don't want him to. Perhaps calling and pushing all in on the flop would have worked here in getting your opponent to fold but either way you wouldn't be completely wrong. After that flop, wouldn't you be dancing if someone called off all their chips with his hand? Bad beats happen - we just don't post them here.
