Live MTT hands, advice appreciated.

Live MTT €200 F/O. standard pretty similar to that of the Scalps game in the fitz with a better structure.
We are in the 3rd hour of the tournament, and every pot barr 1 that i have won has been a bluff which has been more than i few, but i am yet to show one. i lost quite a big pot with JJ on an 8837T, where the BB bet every street with 33.

Hand 1:
Blinds are 200-400 ante 25, 9 handed. av stack 14K i have 9K. Villain has c 15K. He raises UTG to 1400, its folded to me i have JTo. its 1,000 for 2225 so i call. Villain is unknown to me as i have only just moved table and i haev no reads on anyone barr the two who came with me.
Flop is Kd9h5c, i check he checks.
Turn 9c.... I?


Hand 2:
Im BB a round of the table later(4.8K). UTG calls as do 4 others. i check my option. i have 36o
Flop is 7h5c2d. Its checked around. Turn 3s, checked to SB(18K), who i know is a very good player and is liable to bet if he feels the pot is there to be won. pot is 2625, SB bets 1500. I??

RoundTower

hand 1 I would almost always check. He probably has a hand with showdown value at least. The call preflop is pretty bad, the good pot odds are misleading here.

Hand 2 I would usually fold, SB might be a good aggressive player but he isn't often leading into 5 opponents on a total bluff.

hand 1 fold preflop,i know you're getting more than 2:1 but with these stacks i dont think its worth it
if he was raising from a later position i would sometimes reraise but he's UTG

hand 2 i would just fold,there's way too many people in the pot

Robin and Roundtower have said enough. Thread over.

Nothing to add, fold preflop, second hand fold to raise.

unfortunatly i agree now. the type of game it was meant everyoen was playign pretty tight and i decided i needed as many loose chips as i could pick up.
hand 1 i bet out 3K putting him on AQ or evev a lower pair and tried to represent the 9. he pushed all in and i folded. (shows AK)
Hand 2: i pushed from BB, UTG called me and everyone else including the SB folded. UTG had AA:rolleyes: ?
I doubt i played either hand optimally i should really haev waiting for a hand or to get a read on the table a bit more.
I left 100 chips for a bit of craic in the Hand 2, and AA never bet the river.

Next hand i Get AA! UTG+2 raises, with AJ.
Flop JJ542... and im ooot. i like to play agressively and i hate to see pots of 2-3K checked down multi way. i think most of the time though i would take those pots down.

Jeez mate, what are you at and posting these hands, I hope it was the air when you were home over Xmas.

Hand 1, no reason to call preflop, when he showed weakness on the turn, I would be tempted to bet, but there's no way he's putting you on a 9.

Hand 2, a simple fold.
