Well these are two hands that knocked me out the entry to tonights primo, I entered two tournaments and was going well in both - I thought I was ahead in both hands going into the flop

1st hand unlucky, 2nd hand unlucky an 3rd you were dead preflop.

LOL_RAISE

raise more preflop in 1st, open shove 3rd hand and learn to dodge outs?

1st hand dont min raise, a q isnt strong enough to min raise in later stages of tourneys, raise properly and just take the blinds if that happens cos the k10 prob folds to a 450/500 bet!! once the flop comes its hard to get away form it and he has 11 outs so your nearly a 2 to 1 fav! unlucky but bigger raise pre!
2nd hand is just plain unlucky your always gunna call a 1000 more when the blinds are 400/800 with a 10 and you went in a 70% fav in the long run these situations will pay more often than not!!
the 3rd hand is just plain unlucky when your down to 8 bb youve got play any decent hand and hope it holds up, thats tournament poker the only thing u could possibly do is open shove but i cant see jacks going away so it dosent change much and even when you suck out on the flop he re sucks a 6 outer, horrible game sometimes!!!
