Mulltiple questions.. and HA, sort off..

OK; here I was in a 1$ MTT. I usually play nothing but premium hands, and I am posting complete hands, cause I am not looking for hand analysis (although comments welcome - results hidden, highlight will show) but am looking for overall MTT strategy advice. 1st hand, AKh, me utg+1. I feel I have to bet here, even though 1st hand. I have info on 1 player, 8 are complete unknowns for me. As I get TPTK with flush draw, I still feel I need to represent my hand. I am posting this cause of strategy that promotes tight image at early stage MTT, which I use, but had a couple of hands I thought were necessary to go for. (BTW, the HC I use always puts there annoying (All in) after every bet/raise/call, so ignore it just see the bet/raise amount) and the $1 or $2 is always stack to the nearest 1000, $1 is 1000 to 1999 and so on

This hand was about 5 hands later. The table had been real tight, maybe 3 players max seeing the flop, and a couple hands 1 raise to all fold. So I thought I cant let this by. Just a call to see what the table does, after 1st flop check, in position, I had to bet. Concur?

My point is, in a MTT, is my second hand too wide? The table seemed to be relatively tight for a small buy in tourny, and with me on button.... And after all check the flop, I kinda have to bet, dont I? Or is proper MTT strategy dictating an auto-fold here PF, to keep my image tight? And do I show my first hand after all fold to promote my only premium hand playing attitude? The second is a certain no-show.

I will post another hand in HA, so I would appreciate anyone here looking there for your thoughts on that hand.

And just as I thought it was a relatively tight table, this happened...lol

sorry dude. but your HH are really hard to read haha... itd be better to just paste the PKR HH directly in here.. if you cant convert it..

I know. PKR dosent convert well. I found one that was better, but didnt bookmark it and dont know which one it was. I will paste em here, right out of the HH folder, probably easier to read.
