    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em $10+1 Tourney

    I'm in fair shape t2730 stack, blinds 100/200, and get dealt TT on the button.

    **********
    UTG+1 (t1925)
    MP1 (t10550)
    MP2 (t11505)
    CO (t3425)
    Hero (t2730)
    SB (t8560)
    BB (t1890)
    UTG (t780)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with T, T.
    5 folds, Hero raises to t600, 1 fold, BB raises to t1890, Hero calls t1290.

    Flop: (t3880) 6, 4, T (2 players)

    Turn: (t3880) 8 (2 players)

    River: (t3880) Q (2 players)

    Final Pot: t3880

    Results:
    BB has Jd Ad (flush, ace high).
    Hero has Tc Th (three of a kind, tens).
    Outcome: BB wins t3880.
    **********

    My take is that I just got outdrawn - I had him outstacked and when he went allin pf I had to call with TT.

    I'm short stacked now with t840. Two hands later I get dealt AQs in MP2, blinds still 100/200.

    BB (t1925)
    UTG (t10550)
    UTG+1 (t11305)
    MP1 (t3925)
    Hero (t840)
    CO (t8460)
    Button (t3780)
    SB (t580)

    Preflop: Hero is MP2 with A, Q.
    3 folds, Hero raises to t840, 3 folds, BB calls t640.

    Flop: (t1780) 9, Q, 6 (2 players)

    Turn: (t1780) K (2 players)

    River: (t1780) Q (2 players)

    Final Pot: t1780

    Results:
    BB has Tc Jh (straight, king high).
    Hero has Ad Qd (three of a kind, queens).
    Outcome: BB wins t1780.
    **********

    This hand was really a nobrainer, I think. AQs and a miniscule stack: allin PF. I was actually glad when I saw his hand on the flop. Not so much on the turn, though.

    I don't know, maybe these were quite uninteresting hands to post, but I'd be glad for any advice on how to play differently in similar situations.

    Focus on your decisions not your results. Unless BB only raised with AA or KK, your decision in hand 1 was right. No brainer hand 2.
