    Default First hand of the tourney. Would you do the same?

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t15 (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

    BB (t1000)
    UTG (t1000)
    UTG+1 (t1000)
    MP1 (t1000)
    Hero (t1000)
    MP3 (t1000)
    CO (t1000)
    Button (t1000)
    SB (t1000)

    Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 7, 7.
    UTG calls t15, 2 folds, Hero calls t15, 1 fold, CO calls t15, Button calls t15, SB completes, BB checks.

    Flop: (t87.50) J, 9, 4 (6 players)
    SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets t45, CO folds, Button folds, SB folds, BB folds, UTG calls t45.

    Turn: (t177.50) 7 (2 players)
    The converter didn't work here. This is what happened:
    UTG checks.
    Hero bets [125].
    UTG raises [375].
    Hero raises [500].
    UTG is all-In [565]
    Hero is all-In [315]

    River: (t177.50) 8 (2 players)

    Final Pot: t177.50

    Results in white below:
    UTG has 6s As (flush, ace high).
    Hero has 7c 7h (three of a kind, sevens).
    Outcome: UTG wins t177.50.

    I would have been worried about the straight and flush draws. Fold on Reraise.

    Firstly, in the first hand of a tourney, I play 7-7 for a set and check/fold if I don't hit the flop (unless there are no overcards). I don't see the need to make this risky play this early on.

    You should have definitely folded to the raise on the turn. You must know you are beaten here.

    once he raises you on turn, you can't reraise. i call and hope to get a full house on the river, and i fold the river if he bets too much.
