Hand #1
Hooray for this. I'm selling my hand the whole way here. Any ideas on how to get more money out of this guy? Couldn't tell whether he was in the mood to call anything and everything -- probably thought I was bluffing.

Much bigger one on the river? I've got about 400 of his chips in there already.

Hand #2
Pretty straightforward PF with aces. Does that amount seem right? (325 on 775 pot)

Both hands nice.

I'm really curious about your table image. hand 2 suggests that you played pretty darn tight. people who had position on you folded to a relativly small bet. Were you all in?

Yeah, I guess I'm tight-aggressive, esp. early in tournaments. Which is about all I get to play recently

Boy this one is tasty: calling pot sized bets, first with overcards only then with a gutshot. More or less killed a great tournament for me.

revision: his draw on the turn was outside, I guess.
