OK, keep in mind that I have been playing on FTP for like 3 or 4 months and have only been playing NL tourneys for @ a year and this was my first $350k tourney. I finished 173/2279. I realize who the players are that I was up against. How could I have played the hands for better value and/or should I have made the calls that I did?

OK, hand one, how do I get better value without getting sucked out on? Should I have raised preflop?

Hand Two: Should I have played it differently to improve value, or is the check raise on the turn the best bet? I originally had him on AK or a middle pair, horrible read on my part?

Hand Three: Was this simply a horrible call? Given the stack sizes, should I have folded?

Hand 2, I lead the turn. Check-minraise looks like such a strong line, and leading can get an aggro villain to raise you.

Hand 1 is okay.

Hand 3 seems like an easy fold.

 hand 1 there isnt much you can do about. If the table was really weak/passive (which i doubt), then i could argue to raise 99, but its fine as played

hand 2 i also like to lead the turn. this will get you more value if villain has a strong, but not overly strong hand.

hand 3 is an easy fold.

On hand 2, how would you have lead the turn? Min bet, value bet, over bet?

The only reason I called on hand 3 was due to how suprisingly passive he had been playing and I misread the AI as steaming due to 3 or 4 previous hands that he had been shoved out of the pot .

The table wasn't as hyper aggressive post flop as I expected it would be, but I did have some people shove me off of some good hands deeper in the tourney; I still have a LOT to learn

There's approx 1200 in the pot, I would lead for around 800-900. If he has been over-aggro, I would bet something like 500-600. The half-pot bet looks very weak, something a club draw would do to block and see river cheap. If he raises, you can shove overtop.
