    Default 1 dollar mtt tourny

    I would like to discuss this hand for a few reasons. Is the push wrong? Also I always get close to the money only to get put out on something like this. I want to get mad and say wtf is he calling with that for. But either im doing something wrong or this is just how it goes. Either way i think there is a leak somewhere here. My thinking is im close to the bottom of the stacks in this tourny and this double up would put me in a better position to win the tourny. As i dont just want to hit the money i want to win the tourny or get in the top 2 or 3 where the big money is.

    Hero and Villain both played correctly in both hands. Villain just got lucky each time.

    Yep. In the 1st one, he had over 200bb so he could pretty much play any good hand there, and your hand is miles ahead of his range. The 2nd one was simply standard 3-handed play.

    This is the variance of tourneys!
