The tournament is just getting started. I hadn't played any of the first 5 hands nor do I have any reads yet. The next two hands happened in succession. I think they're both pretty bad, but I don't know what I should be doing. I'm a noob to MMT so be gentle.

His PF mini raise combined with him calling the flop raise (which I don't know is the right move either) scared me. I figured my only two choice on the turn were all-in or c/f.

Basically I thought I had the best hand and wanted to take the pot down right there. I figured I was pot committed if I raised ~300 and I didn't want people getting a discount to call.
