    What do you mean by it's like a satellite? Definitely not folding first hand, probably not (almost definitely) folding 2nd hand either unless there is some sort of flat payout when I think it's closer

    It's a freeroll. Shove both hands.

    Assuming the title is right (its a freeroll), I'd expect to see a lot of random crap that QQ destroys. Your too far away from the bubble to factor that into your decision.

    Not folding Hand 2 for the same reason

    Shove both, be pretty damn happy about it.
    Playing big pots at small stakes.

    $500 freeroll with 60 man is like about $9 value so I wouldn't consider it as a normal freeroll.

    As for the AK I fold, because I felt there was a descent chance for me that one of both players would have an A or K blocker, one of them had AK 2.

    Not folding AK either then, people in freerolls will have much wider ranges

    feelin' allright
    not folding either hand.
    H1 - I'd go for a squeeze to about $1900 and call a shove from ackrite3
    H2 - I'd call

    Really don't like that squeeze sizing. If stacks were deeper and you thought you could induce I'd make it like 1.3k but ackrite is too short compared to what's been put in the middle. If you really did want to squeeze tiny then I'd cib but the best option here is to just shove.

    if your playing to get to the cash. call the first hand making sure a or k dont turn up on the flop. then u have better odds and can get out if bad flop. 2nd hand fold and wait for a better opatunity. but if your thinking off the first prize shove both hands to build your stack

    Standard shove in both.
    The payouts in these seem fairly flat but not really (my stepdaughter has been playing them the past few days & when I was checking the payouts you need to scroll over a bit so that you can see certain places that win say $11, actually win $11 + $11, etc. (same goes for higher payouts as you move up). 1st place is so much better than the rest too (2nd not too bad.... she took 2nd ($81) in the second one she played).

    The bottom payouts aren't even worth considering as payouts (imo) .. they're only $2 tickets. Bubble is more like 'Top13' when the payout jumps from $2 to $11

    I think this is true, you can do basically nothing with that stupid $2.20 ticket.
