hand 1, I just dunno what to do pre here. There are 3 ways to play jacks and they're all wrong.

USD Hold'em No Limit - Level XIII (200/400)
UTG (9135 in chips)
UTG+1 (26325 in chips) is sitting out
Hero (8773 in chips)
MP2 (21830 in chips)
MP3 (33389 in chips)
CO (15950 in chips)
BU (6584 in chips)
SB (18776 in chips)
BB (10855 in chips)

Dealt to Hero [J :club: J :spade:]
Hero?

What's the best line here? Raising here and getting a shove from blinds or getting 2 or 3 callers behind (which is completely common in these tournies)? Limp call OOP? I hate raising here because you do get 2 to 3 callers and ~50% of the time the flop is coming at least Q high and I have to pretty much give up after my cbet if I even make one. Just a spot I find really weird. Limping isnt any better because you still get the 2 to 3 callers but at least I can get away cheaper and my hand is more well disguised. IDK, I elected to set mine. Am I wrong? And if so how wrong is it?

hand 2 is deep in the tourney. Final 2 tables. Spot is really close I think. Table has been pretty standard, I have been very tight with my resteals and saw an opportunity to resteal on a fairly active CO. Too loose? I think by a little, but I think the FE here makes it super close. Or maybe by fold button was hiding on me, either way, help plz.

hand 1 ->
easy openraise for maxvalue. of course openshove is +ev. but you should get your maximal value out of the hand with a standard 800-1000 openraise. and then of course getting it in against 3bets. Of course you sometimes get drawed out by overcards or smaller pairs but in the longrun you win the most chips and thats whats really important here!

hand 2
totally depends on your image, raisers image and so on. if raiser is standard opening 3x and is very active from later positions i really like the rejam with your stacksize and hand!
greets
