    <span>So that one put me down to below average with 14 left in the tournament. The next one, I knew I had the best hand and decided to take my shot at having a moster stack at the FT. Villan is a weak player who has been 18/16 preflop with mostly shoves.</span>

    <span>Obviously a weak way to lose it, but was it incorrect to ship in there? I'm certain he's shoving light.</span>

    i like the way you played the first hand but i def fold the second hand as you're probably a big dog vs his shoving range there
