some tourney hands

Playing 5 tournaments on Pokerstars, low stakes buy ins. The first hand I played was at a PL draw table. I opened to 120 on the button with T9654 no suits, got three bet, to 200, four bet to 400. HE stands pat and I bet 2/3rds the pot and take it down. Obviously this is as a bluff with ten high. In one respect this is a bad idea. My opponent has shown strength and it is better to bluff against weakness. OTOH my opponent drew 3 so he probably doesn't have much better than a pair of aces. Anyway he folded. Then I won two big pots with a full house (3 way to the flop reraised, two pair drew to tens full of sevens) and two pair aces and kings pre draw. I also lost a big pot when I her called w/ top pair vs my opponents river over bet. He had trips.

I tried to bluff w/ a flush draw in draw. Open raised, drew one. My opponent called twice with aces. I really like his play.
