Hand 2 - Fold.

why?

[action man]

first is trickier than the second, becuase unless villian is 3betting AQ then if we hit an ace or K high flop then we dont get paid. tough, probs just say jam>>>call><fold
2nd is a definate fold

Hand 1 - Ship it in.

[bragunn]

thanks, well I shoved and folded like was said, they had 1) KK and 2) JJ, AJ. But thats irrelevant - was just wondering about my play.

I have a couple more hands, if it is ok for you all to look at:

Q1) Is this a shove or a raise?

[Royal Flush]

The 2 AK's Jam and Jam the 2nd (its a $4 MTT)

Hand 1, raise to allow lighter jams is best i think.

Hand 2, meh get it in, not happy about it though.

Hand 3, Yeah just ram it in.

Hand 4, I probably just jam or fold after the limp, as played its all good.

[action man]

agree with demps, apart from hand 2, you should raise the guys 100 flop bet, then if u get 3bet can fold, makes it easier, as played dunno

Yeah obv i raise flop myself as well just as played what to do now.

[StuartHopkin]

Hand 1 - Ship it in.

Hand 2 - Fold.

Because the Trigger is about to agree with me! wiiii

Could reasoning, you could have just pointed out i didnt read the extra bet in the second hand.
Lol

[bragunn]

Nice one, cheers for this - playing a bit volume in $4 180 players and hopefully this should make it a little more profitable.

"Hand 1, raise to allow lighter jams is best i think."

say I was to raise the TT, mid pos flats, flop comes QXX/KXX/AXX, I cont bet, and he shoves, leaving me with like 1300 behind, easy call? Whats the best course on an over carded flop?

[marcin123]

Hand 1 I shove... Hope to be snapped off by or ...

Hand 2 Agree with previous comment... Raise the original bet... Then see how it goes...

Hand 3 Shove...

Hand 4 Probaby play it the same way...
