UB $10+1...2 hands

[A10Chief]

Two hands from a $10 SnG on UB. Hand 1 I raised because it was folded to me in MP. Had anyone entered before me, I would have called or folded to a raise (standard for me, I'm pretty tight early on.) I know the way I played it was a mess, but these are always extremely troublesome situations for me. Do you just lay down and die and save your chips or do you take a shot at a bluff? Hand two, I obviously had to dump this when villain came over the top, but was it otherwise okay?

#1
I might be inclined to check the river. You got your free card on the turn. It's very likely someone is playing any Q or K to your preflop raise and you're in deep crap right now.

#2
Standard. 3x preflop raise. Roughly half pot on the flop. Let it go and see the next hand.

Raising KQo that early is a little shaky. Too many yet to act, and small blinds. Fold Preflop, I think. The C-bet on the flop is probably unnecessary.

[Miffed22001]

dont c-bet that flop with KQ so early on. no need to put chips in if you might be able to see a free card.

Hand#1: OK
Hand#2: Limp/fold preflop, fold on the flop
