    Default Stars $3.40s. Somebody help!

    Can somebody have a quick look at these please as they are driving me mad at the moment? I just can't win when I push all-in and it's affecting my decisions. I've looked back over these two and have some questions which are below.

    Tournament 1:- Table was mixture of loose and tight.
    Between Hands 2 and 3:
    ATo - These are both folds aren't they?
    55 - Is this a good fold?
    88 - I think I have to call this but Villain was tightest player on table. Do I still call?

    Tournament 2:- Table was quite loose.
    Hand 1: AJs - Maybe this is a fold.
    Hand 3: AKo - Villain was a nutcase and had raised a few times with crap (see Hand 1). Is this a good push over?

    Tournament 1
    Between 2 and 3. Yeah i fold A-10 here. If folded to me on BU with A-10 ill raise , if folded to sb ill raise. Other than that with this many people and blinds at 25/50 (i think) i fold.
    55 , and 66. Are these at 50/100 or 25/50? If it's 25/50 and the table hasn't been raising much preflop i might limp for set value. BUt im thinking it's 50/100 there right?
    88- how much was his push?
    Hand 3: oh well that sucks.

    Tournament 2:
    Hand 1: Utg yeah fold it.
    Hand 2: Yep i shove over here too given u re raised you hand 1 with q7. We have position if we just flat call. But theres over 300+ in the pot already.

    Blinds here were 75/150 so I think I have to fold it.

    His push was 1435 so I would of been left with 90 chips if I'd lost. Blinds were 100/200. I'm not sure about this fold as SNGWIZ has it as a push (call) even if I set his range really tight.

    Finally! I've just got ITM, I came back from 400 chips with 8 players left to get a 2nd place. I had a bit of luck but it was bad luck that got me there in the first place. AK on a K85 rainbow flop. Managed to get it all-in, got called by KQo and he hit a Q on the river. I don't like those ladies today.

    Tournament 1:
    -If the blinds are still 25/50 or below, then I am folding AT here.
    -The 55, 66, and 88 hands...I would need to know the blinds as 25/50 and below I am limping. Anything higher depends on my stack size in relation to the blinds.
    EDIT: Saw that you posted while I was writing up my reply. Since the blinds are 75/150 here and your are not at the <10BB stage, then these are folds. The 88 hand you are most likely flipping at best. This is a tough one, but I think I am still folding it.

    Tournament 2:
    -AJs - Why not limp this hand? It is too early to raise this type of hand in my opinion.
    -AK - I would just call here. Your hand is only ace high and why risk your entire tournament against a maniac? I have done it myself and see people all the time getting married to AK and going out early. If an A or K comes on the flop, then you are more than happy to get all the money in the middle, otherwise try and check it down and just fold to any sizeable bet. There is still plenty of time and chips left if you have to let this hand go.

    The blinds on both the AT hands were 50/100.

    AJs - I prefer to either raise or fold AJs early. From UTG I think I now prefer a fold.

    AK - I think, as Detroit said, the 300 dead chips in the pot make all the difference here. I wasn't 100% sure but that is what I have gathered from reading FTR. What does everyone else think?

    Thanks for having a look at them.
