Well the new roll (constructed from air! (well fpps)) is now over $600 so I figured I'd take a shot at a $16 mixing it in with 3 normal $6.50s I had on.

Busted all 3 $6.50s but came 2nd in the $16 so not all bad. Here are a couple of hands I wanted comment on if ok.

Villain opens fairly wide and calls likewise. Saw him raise/call push with ATo a level ago.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $15+$1 Tournament, 75/150 Blinds (6 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

BB (t1595)
UTG (t3080)
MP (t3200)
CO (t2695)
Hero (Button) (t1395)
SB (t1535)

Hero's M: 6.20

Preflop: Hero is Button with J, J
1 fold, MP raises to t450, 1 fold, Hero raises to t1395 (All-In)

Button here limps too much and has folded to my raises, although I've only done it twice in the last 50 hands. Do I fold and If I raise what's my plan if the action changes ahead?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $15+$1 Tournament, 100/200 Blinds 25 Ante (5 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

BB (t1390)
UTG (t3745)
MP (t1310)
Button (t3715)
Hero (SB) (t3340)

Hero's M: 7.86

Preflop: Hero is SB with 10, A
2 folds, Button calls t200, Hero?

Ok that's it really. Pushed correctly everywhere else and called correctly so overall happy. Just wondered about these 2 at the time and thought it worth asking what others might do. Maybe hand one is not as tough as I thought.

Hand 1: Jc Jd - I don't see any other way to play it.

Hand 2: Ts Ah - I would raise to around 500. I think then you have to call if BB pushes over, but you can fold if Button re-pushes.

Hand 1 (JJ) - good hand.

Hand 2 (ATo) - I make it 600 to go, fold if Button shoves over and if called, play carefully postflop (ie. try to control the size of the pot).

+1, with one limper 600 is the minimum you should raise to
