I never call an all in with QJ they just look nice
not much you coulda done about that 99 because you were allready in it but 99 is easy to beat 250 chips you coulda also let them go your were in it but not pot comited and it was lucky for him 99 has costed me chips too many times in sngs they just dont hold up
hey if you dont like my answear then dont ask all of us lol just kidding better luck next time
As to the 2nd hand:
You had someone try to limp and then went over the top of you... without even knowing what they have I would think my 9s weren't good and folded. Sure he could have been making a play, BUT... are you willing to risk basically your tournament life, early on, on a pair of 9s?
If it's later on in the tournament and you're becoming short-stacked then certainly push with them, but.. too early in the tournament and you don't know your opponents well enough to make that call right there.
My two cents.
first hand: I would not have called an allin with those
second hand: I would of rather limped hoping to trap someone There is less of a chance he would have gotten so pushy if you would of limped, instead of raised
Second Hand:
Just unlucky.
Ipso
Hand 1- i believe you shouldnt have been in this hand to start with. FOLD
Hand 2- you got beat in a race. The villian probally shouldnt have been in the hand. With his reraise, I would have put him on a painted pocket pair, and would have folded at this time and save your chips for a comeback.
