    Default 3 hands I feel uncertain about ($6.5 turbos)

    The 2 first hands I'm uncertain about wether it was right to push, and the last hand I dont know if I should have folded to his reraise allin. Thoughts?

    Hand 1:

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (5 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

    Hero (t1045)
    SB (t5275)
    BB (t1680)
    UTG (t2525)
    MP (t2975)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with Q, T.
    2 folds, Hero raises to t1045, 1 fold, BB calls t845.

    Flop: (t2190) 8, J, 5 (2 players)

    Turn: (t2190) 8 (2 players)

    River: (t2190) 8 (2 players)

    Final Pot: t2190



    Hand 2:
    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

    Hero (t1023)
    SB (t3997)
    BB (t2830)
    UTG (t5650)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with K, T.
    1 fold, Hero raises to t1023, 1 fold, BB calls t823.

    Flop: (t2146) J, 7, 3 (2 players)

    Turn: (t2146) A (2 players)

    River: (t2146) 6 (2 players)

    Final Pot: t2146



    Hand 3:
    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

    SB (t2145)
    BB (t1700)
    Hero (t5475)
    Button (t4180)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with A, J.
    Hero raises to t800, 2 folds, BB raises to t1700, Hero calls t900.

    Flop: (t3500) 6, 8, Q (2 players)

    Turn: (t3500) 5 (2 players)

    River: (t3500) 2 (2 players)

    Final Pot: t3500

    Hands 1 and 2 are great pushes. You are hovering around 5xBB, its not like you have the leisure to wait around for better hands.

    Hand 3 is well played too. You have incredible pot odds for the call.

    Gabe/Robert -- I'm curious to see the reasoning behind betting 800 with AJ. Do you want to bet more if you're bullying the table, or less?

    Hand#1 is a bit below my pushing range
    Hand#2 good push
    Hand#3: The 800 raise is good, if button pushes u fold, any other push you call

    Generally I _ALWAYS_ raise 3xBB (unless I have 10BBs or less, then I push). I dont know why I raised more this time - I think I thought something like "I just want him to fold, but I will call him if he pushes over. A bigger raise may keep him from pushing over, and I really just want to take the blinds down".

    if 4bb is the table standard to take down the blinds, then raise 4bb.
