thanks yea the AK nothin you can do, i was more concerned about the KQ hand and weather i was missing hands to steal with, the reraise with the 72 was just based on a read, took a note on him but i was about to fold. also should i be trying to get more value with hands like 99 with 13 bb by standard raising and shoving most flops. i'm runnin super bad and i was just hoping i could plug some leaks to help me out of the rut. i'll try to wait a bit before posting some other tournies i appretiate you having a look.
