i think i would have called hands 1 and 2 as well
.
hand 1 the all in is a big overbet ,so i wouldnt be thinking aces or ks and with only a caller i think i would be risking it.
there's always a good chance they are blanking each other.
hand 2 again the all in in front doesn't look that strong ,with an ok pp i would have to be calling.
you only have 10 antes let alone bbs ,you will be all in within 5 hands whatever happens, so a definate call on that one
in both cases by trying to get to the next pay band your playing too tight to be able to get really deep in the tourney.
i just checked the payout structure and it makes folding an even worse idea.
3375th-1288th=$22.18
1287th-1037th=$44.36
1036th-883rd =$44.37
882nd-559th =$66.55
so the jumps in payout are not really worth thinking about at this point,after all its only getting you at best 2 buy ins each level.
i hope you didn't fold those queens at the 1200 people left area ,coz that is tight
i know hindsight is a wonderfull thing ,but looking back at those 2 hands with both calls you could be sitting on a 100k plus stack with 750 left
the third hand is maybe the other way
with 2 massive preflop raises in front ak doesnt look so good anymore.
l know its usually pretty loose near the start of this, but with that much going in i think i have to credit the other 2 with at least ok pps or ak aq.
in that case your only really in decent nick against 2x aq which is unlikely or 2 mid/high pp.
its more likely your against 2 really big hands
so your either blanked by another ak or dominated by aces or ks .the only good situation here looks like maybe you vs js and qs.
with only 300 of your chips in the pot ,its a fold at that point for me
