500+50 tourney report (LOTS of poker content and I need help!)

[Hold'me]

As already mentioned, your pre-flop raises are way too big. Standard raises are 2-to-5 times the big blind, varying it so your opponents don't get a read on you. It seems you make bigger raises with your weaker premium hands (A-K, A-Q, etc.) then with a pair of cowboys. That's dangerous information to be giving away to observant opponents. Work on giving away as little information as possible on your betting pattern.
