Was I too aggressive on the river when I re-raised all in? The blinds were still low and I would still have had time to recover.

This hand bears some explanation. The UTG player was a total maniac who was raising with any two cards. I did not like it much when the CO called....

Hand #3

Note that the blinds were at 100/200 and were going up next hand to 150/300. It is down to 4 handed as you will see, and this group of players (never saw any of them before this tourney) was tough. All three remaining players were tight aggressive players. In fact, I carefully watched the rest of this tourney and was impressed enough to take notes on two of the last three players. Bottom line on this hand is that when I re-raised all in I KNEW that the raiser had something decent (AJ minimum, maybe even AK). Should I have waited for a better opportunity or made a stand here.....

Hand #4

This hand occurred when 4 handed. One of the players is close to blinding out. Would everyone here push in with the KK or simply call / raise something lower and see the flop?
