Re-evaluating my play... a couple hands

[skoal2k4]

I've been playing like [censored] lately and have started questioning the way I play certain situations.

Hand 1:
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Hero (t1500)
UTG (t1220)
UTG+1 (t2030)
MP1 (t1030)
MP2 (t1450)
MP3 (t1160)
CO (t1920)
Button (t1590)
SB (t1480)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG calls t20, UTG+1 calls t20, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP2 calls t20, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, CO calls t20, Button calls t20, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero ???

Hand 2:
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Hero (t1480)
BB (t1100)
UTG (t1910)
UTG+1 (t1030)
MP1 (t1900)
MP2 (t1160)
MP3 (t1800)
CO (t1530)
Button (t1470)

Preflop: Hero is SB with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls t20, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP3 calls t20, CO calls t20, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t200</font>, Hero calls t190, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 folds, MP3 calls t180, CO calls t180.

Flop: (t840) T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
Hero ???

hand 1.. either check and play the flop cautiously even if you catch an A or Q... or raise to like 120 and try and get heads up.

hand2.. i reraise preflop.. he's probably not going anywhere after raising to 200 PF.. so you can get him heads up, and probably for most of his stack.

but the way you did it i'm probably playing it aggressive but that flop does suck.

I raise the first hand preflop to 120. The second hand i re-raise pre flop. The way you played that I bet 400 or so on the flop though. But I think you have to re-raise pre-flop to get rid of all the limpers.
