Ok i just busted 32nd in an act III with 12 seats at foxwoods and i'm wondering about 2 hands that led to it

Hand 1
Blinds had just risen unbeknowngst to me. UTG limps for 100, i say "raise to 450" from UTG+1 with KK, dealer says that the blinds are actually 100-200 and after the players correct he does not alow me to raise. i ask for a floor ruling and floor ALSO agrees that i cannot raise, preety much half the table calls because they want to snap me off and tilt me. flop is ace high and someone bets 1/4 of the pot, i fold and communicate my disagreement with the floor ruling. i don't see how this ruling is correct, whats your opinions?

Hand 2
I have T8o in the SB and complete after 2 limpers getting 7-1, BB raps flop is T85 2 hearts
i check to a very aggressive table, 1st limper bets 800, fold, i checkraise to 2800 leaving the limper 700 behind, limper just calls. turn is a rag heart and i check, he moves in and i look back to find i have the 8h making some hand like Ah8h impossible, i can't find a fold in this huge pot and call leaving myself 500 chips he has K2 of hearts and i'm short stacked, making this laydown is impossible based on the fact he could have a slowplayed AA with Ah or AT with Ah ect.

love to hear feeling on this

Hand 1 why the hell can't you raise?? Bad ruling I think

Hand 2 Hand two lead out the flop. Your play is fine but put him all in on it. You got unlucky.

think he is indicating that they permitted the 450 raise, but not a bigger raise since the blinds were double what he thought they were.

If you say raise to 450, obviously you can't put in a bigger raise because you thought the blinds were smaller. I would have just let it go. There is not that much difference between raising 3xBB and 2.25XBB. By making a big fuss, you may clue your opponents as to the nature of your hand.

Hand 1: Raise preflop [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Hand 2: Your analysis seems pretty spot on.
