It happens to everyone :)
Also the first hand you got lucky, you need to be more carefull in those spots. At that fase of the tournament you should fold or shove, not limp, and definitely not call a shove with K10off unless your opponent was crazy loose

Definitely got lucky on the first hand. As for the KK, I would have folded once that Ace Popped...and the tens is a risky bet as well. JQKA can beat you. Altho you probably would have ended up going all in anyways since your 10 hit on the flop. It's just better to be safe than sorry in some games, especially tournament play. All ins are a coin flip pre-flop. Just remember that tournaments are a marathon, not a race.

You should have gotten away from the kings w 2 all ins. I know they are hard to fold but really what can u beat there w 2 all ins and getting calls from ur raise pre. One of them always has an ace.
It is hard to make them disciplined folds sometimes but u really have to just let them go

I'm curious to know what the thinking was in the 2nd hand.. preflop but especially post flop.
Why do we choose to minbet that flop multi-way? (what's our plan?)
When others gii there on flop, what do we put them on there?

I know you are right my friend gave me quick session during one big tournament - he was advising me how to play and with what on facebook and it gave me a lot.. I managed to improve my hands and gave me more patience. Sometimes in order to survive is necessary even to fold monster hand when board is not looking good. Thanks to him and what he taught me I managed to place myself three times in row in top 300 or better (in pokerschoolonline tournament). Now waiting for the ticket to big bang tournament.

Final hand. You were short and you had to shove TT. Unfortunately, that's just the way that the cards fly sometimes. A little painful that both you and AA flopped the set. :afraid:

What he said.

On the KK hand, at that stage of tourney, and you have 4 limpers in the hand when it's your turn to act, either you offer the K's some protection by going all in, or you fold. What you basically did was a min raise pot-odds-wise.

He's got 18bb's facing a few limpers... why on earth would he ever consider folding in that spot?

I just meant that in that exact spot, in the absence of going all-in it would likely be better to fold. In the long run it would probably be better to fold than to flat call and set mine.

I hoped my comment made it clear my best advise was to go all-in.
