You did indeed get very lucky on those two hands but, like you said, that is the nature of these Hyper turbo tournaments. They really are minefields and you do need an awful lot of luck at times to make the money

I personally really hate hyper turbo ppker, this is just total luck game where people play with any two cards and game is like roulette more than poker, also so much losing winning winning losing going that it is hard to get some good results for longer time and risky for bankroll to play them
Hyper-turbo tournaments are probably interesting for beginners in poker ... there they can absolutely accidentally get a win just by luck .... I certainly do not reduce the merits of our veteran and congratulate him with the fact that he managed to grind the next rivals

I just watched the hands on the replayer. You got lucky twice with your AQ and JT. I think calling with these hands were ok considering the format of the tournament and the size of your stack at the table.

You got lucky with these two hands, especially with the second one against the pair of jacks. You didnt manage to cash in this time, but with your late performance, it is all good. Pretty soon, you will be in the money again with some good profit Good luck.
