I must first admit that I've never played a $109, so take that into consideration.

I will always call in the situation given in the first hand. I love to play AK for a lot of money pf. One opponent is best, but two is just fine. You'll have to fold it plenty of times on the flop, but when it hits you, you'll frequently get paid well with two other people still around. I do disagree with your limp here too, but it seems that it may have worked to your advantage here.

Hand two, I'll fold every single time. As much as I like AK, there's no reason to put the tourny on the line this early, even more so when your hand may have to stand up against two others. Two that were also willing to put the whole game on the line this early with their hands. I like your raise to 70. But when there's two re-raises behind you, it's time to wait for a better spot.

If this is nonsense for $109's, I'm sure it'd do me good to hear why.

I didn't limp the first hand, I called a minraise from utg.

i'd re-raise his min-raise for the first hand. Too many people will call after you and you dont want to be playing ak with more than 2 other opponents. If you then get re-raised again then its a similar situation to hand two.

2nd hand i would fold too. It's doubtful he's pushing with aq or anything less. So its either a coinflip tens to queens. Your way behind kings to aces or your splitting it with ak.
