$2 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (213th out of 244 Players)

Guy raises UTG.  I call on the button with AQ.  Flop comes T65, two spades.  He checks, which seemed odd to me, and I bet 2/3 to try and take it right there.  He called and the turn was the Qs.
 
Here I think I should probably check.  He either called with a set or a flush draw in my opinion and now I am behind both.  Also, he probably did not call with just a back door flush draw so giving a free card is probably better than letting the pot get out of control on the turn here.  Also, if I have him beat he is probably not calling the bet so I am not even getting any value.
 
Instead...I bet, he raises and now I feel committed so I just shove for the hell of it and he has the TT.  Not a bad beat or a cooler...I played the hand poorly.

$2 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (14th out of 193 Players)

I have a decent stack half way through and my table is super super aggressive...gonna stay patient and look for a big one because they have already shown that they don't know when to slow down.  should be fun.
 
Got really lucky and won an AK v AK to double and then picked up a few small pots and now were on the bubble with 19 left.  I am blinding off a little bit and there are 4 super short stacks so one should lose in a minute.
 
fuuuck...AA v KJ for a mediumish-big stack and 13 left.  Flop=KQJ.

$2 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (24th out of 125 Players)

In a spot where I needed to get some chips...had about 3500 at 150-300 blinds.  The button and the SB limp and I check the BB with T6.  Flop comes A65.  SB checks.  I bet 2/3 the pot and the button just calls (2 hearts on board too).  The SB folds.  The button also was kind of short...barely had me covered.  I didn't put him on an A since he limped an unopened button and didn't reraise me with his short stack on a board that had draws.  So, the turn came an offsuit 4 and I stuck it in for about the size of the pot.  He took about 15 seconds and called with A9...lol nice slow roll...just can't believe how slow he played the hand either and don't mind my play because I was convinced he didn't have the A.  I don't notice A's limping an un-opened button hardly ever (as they probably shouldn't) so it made it very difficult to put him on that.  Anyways...one more tourney left tonight maybe I can get a good finish.
