Re-Introduction and a Couple Hands on my mind

[Redstripe]

Hi guys, been reading these forums/playing online for years. Ive never been a big poster but the info on these boards is great. I made a fresh deposit a few months back and i've been concentrating on MTT and using proper BR management and i've built my $100 into about $700 thus far. Over the past couple weeks been working at the $5.50 buyins.

Would like to hear thoughts about these hands:

(Not much for a read here, only the 7th hand in villian is running 35/0 so far)

Hand 1:

Be a nit and fold pre. The raise is from early position and your hand is easily dominated. I think its a close between leading and checking on the turn, but its fine since you get value from Ax flush draws, QJ, JT. I'd probably fold to the turn raise. It seems like you have odds but a lot of your outs aren't clean and you might be drawing dead or for a split pot

Hand 2:

Make it 4x when theres a limp in front. Flop is an easy call and hope you hold vs the donk. His range is a lot of complete bluffs, Tx and club draws. You should rarely expect 7x to play this way

Yeah i agree with the first hand and i hated myself for getting involved in the first place. On the turn i was having trouble putting him on a hand and decided it was worth a call with the oesd. How bad is the call on the river?

In the second hand i immediately eliminated the idea of him having a 7, it really smelled like a club draw to me but possibly A10 or K10 i thought. With only 375 in the pot i wasnt sure if it was worth gambling with so early in the tournament? I know im ahead either way but against something like 89 of clubs its almost a coinflip.

Hand 1: I generally would not play out of the blinds vs. EP raiser....I'm torn between leading out on the flop or c/c, which is why I'd rather not play this hand OOP HU.

Checking back the flop and min-raising the turn on a nasty board is so often a monster against unimaginative players I'd just fold the turn.

Hand 2: Snap this all day, twice on Sundays.
