				 Select hands from two micro MTTs (both ITM)
				
					
						Firstly, I've got to thank all of aok's wonderful posts. After giving them a serious read, I made it deep into these tourneys and had a pretty good shot at winning either one. That said, the following are some select hands that I wanted to post to either get some input on or give as examples for how the tournament progressed. End result for both:
 14/1964 in $.50 PStars
 51/1397 in $1.10 PStars
 
 All my future comments are in red. Early on I limped mid scs, pps, and Axs for the odds, especially given how low the stakes were. At this limit, TPWK is an AI hand apparently, so after the first hour in both games I was doing pretty well.
 
 ---$.50 PStars---
 
 First hand I wrote to remember during this tourney. Just sort of amusing.

 I made fun of PunkRawker's name earlier. He didn't like that very much. Thus, on this hand, the idea was to flat call and let him lead into me if I caught my cards. Missed the flop, so fairly easy fold given the overbet. My question is whether or not to just push over him PF and try to take it right there or perhaps get him to call with something like AQ/AJ?

 Steal gets called so we go to the flop. It's pretty draw-heavy, but this table has a tendency to bet out with any sort of hand. It's a nice pot to pick up compared to my stack, and knew it was horrible odds for any sort of draw. I had to think about the AI for a bit, but given how many draws might make the same bluff and the pot odds I was getting, I felt a call was the best play at that point. Do anything different anywhere in the hand?

 Early position steal gets racked up high by 2 AIs. No real read on Duffa or what he'd make the move with. Even though it was a fair amount of chips to lay down, settled to find a better spot thinking I was behind at least one of them. Agree/disagree with the play?

 Tim-Pac is playing incredibly loosely, calling with any two and knocking people out by catching bottom pair and them showing down unimproved hands. I know he'll get roped up in the hand for a moderate re-raise and has been folding to strong aggression if he doesn't catch serious cards. Also, he never limps good hands, always has raised them. Therefore, I know I'm ahead. With this information, how's the play on the hand?

 Joined the table recently but Tomeka hasn't played a lot of hands so far. Relative to my stack I felt the blinds were worth stealing in position, but I straighten up on his call. Flop is pretty raggy, probably missed overcards, so I figure it's safe to bet out, thinking that he might feel comfortable calling with overs or even better just straight up fold. With the AI, I figured there was too big a range in which I would be behind compared to the value of the call, and knew I could just pick up chips in better spots. Agree with the play/laydown?

 Here's the hand that knocked me out. Moonstar had raised from SB twice before out of four orbits, so I noted in chat that I wasn't going to put up with it. A few hands later he nails this on me, and at first I'm completely confused. Given that I told him that if he tried it again I was going to call, any premium hand would be best played at a 2x or 3x raise. Even if I had threatened to call him, there's no way I'm going to do it in this spot without a PREMIUM hand. After mulling it over, it just seemed like some ridiculous overbet that may or may not have been intended as a show-after-fold type hand to try and induce action from me later. Agree/disagree with the analysis?
