100 Tournament challenge - Learning Online poker - Hands History review
Hi you all!
Relatively new to online poker and MTTs, and would love some help and insights to a few hands I played last night. Finished 36th place out of 943 entrants.
My goal is to pick 5 hands out of every tournament and analyze them and improve my game... so here we go:
would love to know how I could've/should've played these hands differently.

Hand 1 absolutely fine - you want to stack him before any scare cards come
Hand 2 This is from the sb - your raise size is way smaller than its supposed to be in theory
Hand 3 - prob ok to fold to 3b from this stack size
Hand 4 - 3b is ok can flat also
Hand 4 again - Standard
Hand 5 just minraise with such a strong hand - someone could shove on you or bb can call
Hand 6 - Cooler, can just gii pre but as played nothing else you can do
It's best to break up each hand and post them individually. That way opens the discussion about theory and strat more.
Also use hand history converter. Upswing has one.
Knowing the stage of the tournament is important for some of these, especially hand 6.
And yeah, a converter makes it easier to read, but also more importantly you need to get positions in the hand histories you post.
