Hi all,

In a freeroll tournament, so pretty loose, fishy action occurring. I came across two perplexing spots, one of which cost me my tournament life.

1)5-handed (others sitting out) Blinds 50/100.
UTG 16bb (no real reads on him)

Me (CUT) 56bb with QQ

Button (incredibly loose and pushes frequently pre with almost entire range) 94bb.

SB 97bb. Chipped up through a lucky all-in earlier.

UTG limps and I raise to 4x the call (he limps 100, I raise to 400). Anway, Button shoves his 94bb stack and is snapped by Sb. UTG calls the raise, putting him allin. I fold. I'm not being results-oriented but just to prove my point on reads earlier, loose button had A6o, Sb had JJ and UTG had J9o. I would have called if Sb hadn't as I didn't believe Button for anything.



2) Pretty sure this was a poor move in hindsight. 8-handed. Most players fairly loose-passive at this table. Blinds 350/700.

Largest stack 37,116 (53BB) in UTG+1
Me in UTG with just over 8BB. Most other players have me covered. Given M and rising blinds in the turbo tournament, I elect to open-jam for my 5,886Chip stack. UTG+1 calls with QQ and BB calls for his 9BB stack. I have KTo.

My primary concern with this hand was my position, I'd have likely shoved this from MP2,LP+ but is this unreasonable from the first position, do you think?

Thanks!
