I don't think I was out of line on 3rd, do you?

I for one can see what you are saying about playing a bit slower in a tourney, but with that many players in I don't think you have much choice. Your hand is too good against an 8 and a 9 showing especially, plus everyone's spades are dead.

Perfect play on third, the 2 is going all in, and you've got the 9 (nine?) putting in four bets. Plus you have plenty of chips to make this play. If you had a small stack then I'd def. want to see what happened on 4th before I started getting all the chips in, but wuth the way you described the hand---send it in.
