live tourney final table decisions...

[Oxford_HRV]

Playing the Friday night tourney at broadway 100rnrs

I have a numerous amount of hands I want opinions on, I ended up going in 7th after the best ladder ever 10k 20k 2k I have called off a shove with KQs Vs 77 het hits a set I'm left with 8k very next hand I fold T2 UTG, AA v AJ proceeds The aces big stack knocks out 8th I left with a nice ladder lol

I honestly felt uncomfortable grinding, but I've wanted to start running deep in tourneys rather than trying to get some one to fold to my crazy cold 4b shove with any 2

These are the two I could think were most of a sweat to decide on in the late stages.

Hand 1: Final table 8k/16k 1k... the 6th hand in. TT UTG avg 147k I had 225k open for 38k folds to BB who shoves. Has me covered just 240k, played with the guy for must be 5hrs on my table, never really tangled with me or bluff me, I don't really rate his understanding of the game, seen him call off silly hands all in with A7o earlier before, just don't see him doing this at all light so was it a good fold? he knew I could bluff but must know I have a big hand here, he can't really play poker after a flop so does he just jam his monsters waiting for me to spaz call? I folded here

Hand 2: 13 left 10 paid I pick up 44 on BTN 6hand 5k 10k 1k
Made it 27k SB ships to make it another 40k to go avg was about 115k we are playing a 170k/180k stack at the start of the hand, I know he isn't that bad as earlier blind on blind I raise and he folds showing an A
And has let a few of my raises get through him with a short stack
and seems to have waited for his hand. I folded here

Thoughts!?

Hand 2 you are getting better than 2.5:1 so you can never fold. Open a bit less, but would still raise/call.

Hand 1 sounds close. I think fold is right but I can't imagine I'd fold JJ

Hand 2 is a call

Hand 1 depends on your image. I'd call because im 20 y/o, with crazy hair and everyone presumes I'm batshit insane from the moment i open my first pot. If your 85 and they took an extra break because the time it took you to stack your chips and "move" to the table then its probably a fold.

So hand 2 is definitely a call, 'my bad spider sense was tingling' on hand 1, didn't have the balls to call and CRUSHHH :p
Lol, what a way to put the understanding of image vs calling range, I thought alot on what the villain would do with so many hands, against me my image and perceived range and I concluded I'm flipping an above avg stack or maybe even hunting 2 outs, so there was far better places to start picking up chips.

What they said. Not folding ATC in hand 2. Hand 1 is close-ish but in a live comp which is likely soft im leaning towards fold and moderately happy about it.

Also don't use the fact the someone folds an Ace (and shows!) to one raise bvb as a read that hes not that bad!

Everywhere i play its the same shit though. At least give me a chance to prove my insanity!

That's true, mis-worded, on a Friday night donkament seeing that happen, just made me give respect to what his shoving range must be, he had to be the least active player on the table, with a real grinders stack he was about 20 with crazy hair, and everyone just presumed he has it from the moment he made his first shove.
