    Sorry, this should be in 'sit n go'. Can someone move it for me?

    Hand one the only thing calling would be the made straight that beats you or an overpair. try a 1/4 psb, you want to get value out of gut shot chasers.
    Hand 2 without a heart I would put out the flop bet and once i get called shutting it down.
    Hand 3 Flop bet is ok but once that second over comes it makes it real hard to continue. Lots of queens they would be calling with pf
    Hand 4 Work on the size of your value bets. Open ender with second pair is a great hand imo especially when 5 is not in their range. Bet half the pot or lower, you want them to call
    Hand 5 is fine
    Hand 6 fold, not that many outs when you can be pretty damn sure you are beat, chasing is baaaaaad
    Hand 7 is fine
    Hand 8 is perfect -shove to give draws bad odds
    Hand 9 is a call fold, no business raising here.

    This is how I would play these.

    Hand 1: Kd Kh - I would raise to 80 pre-flop, and re-raise to around 500 as played. I'd bet close to the pot on the flop. People will call with draws at a $1.20.

    Hand 2: Jd Js - Pre-flop is fine. I would bet around 350 on the flop and push the turn. Your turn and river bets are completely pointless, as you are giving OPP massive odds to call, whatever he has.

    Hand 3: 9d 9h - Just call pre-flop and play for set value.

    Hand 4: 4h 4c - I'd raise to 500 pre-flop, and fold if one of the big stacks push. As played, I think flop bet is fine.

    Hand 5: Qs Qd - Not sure if this is correct, but I'd just re-raise to around 500 pre-flop and call a shove.

    Hand 6: 7h 7c - Pre-flop is fine, and just fold flop.

    Hand 7: 9c 9h - I may just call pre-flop and play for set value, but I don't hate the way you played it.

    Hand 8: 4h 4c - I definitely just call this one pre-flop. Bet the pot on the flop. As played, the push is ok.

    Hand 9: 9h 9d - The pre-flop call is fine. Just fold the flop after he bets.
