Here's a sample of two hands from different money tournaments on pp, both times I go all in with what I think is correct play. My table background would be me playing tight -aggressive.

First I called an all-in when it was obvious that he had trips but i had 2-1 to call my nut flush draw so I called:

Table Rebuy (951052) Table #15 (Real Money)
Seat 3 is the button
Total number of players : 10
Seat 3: dynamo_basti ( $5800 )

Seat 7: protools775 ( $5370 )
Seat 8: Lakshmi333 ( $6300 )
Seat 9: yobboAK ( $7240 )

Secondly I had AA and thought I was on top with flopped trips but it was close:

What I'm asking is there any other way to play these hands? Should I have folded my flush draw?

Hi yobbo, welcome here at the board and this is a good start you made your first post

BUT please use a hand converter so the hands are better displayed.
You can use our free tool for that: Texas Grab'em

Or have a look at "how to post sample hands"

Also please post your hands into the NL board

I tried to convert it for you but actually this format is excepted nowhere.

Hand 1) Fold Preflop

Hand 2) no minraise here, you have to re-raise much more but i can't tell you how much exactly.

Best regards,
Stefan
