Ouch. Well I think the only one there's any question at all about is the first. With 5 BB left that's a push or fold situation. And I like to be the aggressor in those situations so I might have folded and then pushed the next time I was first to act or first to raise even with a weaker hand.
It's tempting to look at KQs there and think "Well I'm in for 400 already and this might be my best shot" but wth a raise before, I'm figuring I'm looking at at least an ace, and if you can fold you then get to look at 7 more hands for free starting with good position and/or with the advantage of being the aggressor.

I agree with Iron. That KQ was the only really questionable hand. I can understand the call preflop though I would've probably either pushed or folded in that situation, but why call off the rest of your stack with a flush draw on the flop? You may not even have the nut flush draw and could be drawing dead.
I'm also confused on the betting postflop. You stated you were in the BB, but both pushed prior to you. Did you check/call the flop? I'm just wondering if you'd have been able to push on the flop and make either of these players go away, or why you didn't bet on the flop if you were willing to call.
The other two hands were just poor luck.

Those are some pretty bad formats mad. 9 people left and the blinds are at 100/200 starting stack 2,000? Any decent hand becomes pushable and there is a lot of luck at these things I bet.

i checked the KQ with 2 hearts on board.....maybe should have pushed
i know the blind structure is terrible
2000 starting....100/200 blinds up every 10 mins

For the first hand, I agree that you should have folded KQ pre-flop considering you and and your opponents only had 10bb. However, on the flop your getting 4-1 on your money with a flush draw, folding is bad in my opinion.
All in all, the structure is horrible and you had to gamble, things just didn't work out.

with 5x BB (if I read it correctly) I push with KQ and a min-raise to me in the BB. Time to gamble.
