    I get deep in tourney's quite often, but I am really bad at closing the deal. Here's a few spots that I'd like to get some advice for.

    Thanks, Fenety.

    Should I be opening here with a10 with the blinds as they are. The other guy in the hand was playing very lag.

    Should I call his reraise here, he has been playing pretty good, but knows I have been active.

    Nothing wrong with opening. I think I would probably fold to the reraise in this spot though.

    hand 1- i like the opening but im folding to the re raise in most cases.
    hand 2- like the raise, i might be temped to call the 10k re raise there and fold if you dont hit set or real dry flop
    hand 3 - like how u played it
