Without Ad I fold on the flop, but with it its a fine continue when deep. Turn can also be played as a check-call.

Slightly loose call preflop. As played you could stab the flop. Turn raise should be larger to set up an easier river shove, thats not an overbet.
3-bet is a bit small, when you are almost 100BB deep.
Double KO, was this okey considering stack sizes or abit 2 greedy and lucky from me?: https://gg.gl/earnj
Standard play for a PKO.
Not a Easy Call on River but i snap call for a BIG Pot: https://gg.gl/vqkks
You do not want to make a small 3-bet out of position with a hand like ATo, because all, you do, is to bloat the pot, when you dont have either position or a strong hand. My preferred line is to just call, but if you want to 3-bet, you need to go 5X the raise, so that you actually get folds rather than just massage the pot larger. Turn can be played as a bet or check-call. River is a mandatory call as played.
Crazy all inn on Flop where i get snap called (Wrong of me to Jam Flop?): https://gg.gl/s2xvs
After opening from BTN, AJ is a standard defend to a 3-bet. I like jamming the flop. If you just call, there is only a pot sized bet left, which put you in a tough spot, if turn is a brick, and he jam. By jamming flop you get some fold equity, and when called you are never drawing dead. You also cover, which gives you better pot odds when called due to his bounty.
2 Coward of me to Check back River with AK here? Scared for 2 pairs/straight/Runner flush etc: https://gg.gl/pev6k
This time your 3-bet is quite large, so not sure what your strategy is for this? I might go slightly larger on the turn, but I like the river check-back. When someone cold call a 3-bet from out of position, its always a bit of a weird spot, since what kind of hands are they really doing that with? And unless they are terrible, its usually a very condensed range consisting of something like 99-QQ, AK, AQs, KQs and stuff like that. So I would be happy to check back and hope to beat TT-JJ or some sort of busted draw, which is kind of, what he had.
How are the sizings on flopped set of 33 here?: https://gg.gl/80haz
Preflop your open is fine, but you should fold to his 3-bet. You are nowhere near deep enough to set-mine out of position in a 3-bet pot. I dont hate donk betting this flop, because it prevents hands like top pair with no flushdraw from checking back. As played turn should be a jam. When you bet more than half your remaining chips, you commit yourself, and you dont want to allow a flushdraw to see the last card without putting in the rest. This is even more important in a PKO, because you wont get his bounty, if he brick and fold on the river. His turn jam is terrible by the way.
How bad did i play this trips vs big hand? even told my wife he might have that hand but still whent for bounty: https://gg.gl/2nais
Bet turn for value and protection. When they checked flop, there is a low chance, they are going to bet this card. On the river you have to call his raise, but 3-bet jamming is an overplay. His bounty does not justify jamming wider here, because if he call you, you are almost always beat or perhaps chopping.
Getting trapped by a MONSTER when i trie to Isolate UTG, bad ALL INN of me? DISASTER for my Tournament?: https://gg.gl/cs4aa
Against just UTG this would be a fine rejam. But you are to deep against the other two guys, and because all the action is in early position, they can flat some strong hands here. AA is a little surpricing, but even if you run into JJ, QQ or AK its still not a great spot for half your chips. This is a bit like the previous hand, because UTGs bounty only comes into play, if he calls you. The times, we want to isolate, is, when the short stacked player is already all-in, not when he might still fold.
Trying to mix things up here and beeing annoying against Big Blind defender, bad or okey?: https://gg.gl/t7j0f
Not a big fan of these tiny bets, even though it worked out this time by inducing a spazz. Bet larger on either flop or turn and check back the other street.
BIG Hand, is it right to Jam all inn here flush draw vs 2 bountys?: https://gg.gl/1cfur
You are short enough to rejam preflop here, and suited broadways are great hands for rejamming light. The other option is to just fold, since BTN seem to be tight with a VPIP of just 14%. Calling is by far the worst option. As played its fine to get it in on the flop, and given, what he had, jamming preflop would have led to the same result.
Things now take a turn for the worse as i loose 3 hands in a row, did i really fukk up and play them so wrongly?......
Hand 1: https://gg.gl/94iaw
I probably just open fold here, but limping is not crazy, if you have a balanced limping range, or if the table is really passive. As played the rest is standard. But the issue is, you are bleeding chips without getting to showdown, and it could have been easily solved by just open folding a bad hand UTG.
Pretty standard. Maybe you can consider folding on the turn, when he bet so big. You could be drawing dead, if he has AT, and you dont have great implied odds drawing to a 1-liner with a flushdraw on the board. But you could also have the best hand already, if he is bluffing. So all in all I would not love the spot but likely make the call, just like you did.
When you min-raise out of position, the opponent is priced in to continue with any two, and A7o is not exactly a monster. So either take advantage of the A blocker and make a big raise to 3,5BB or 4BB or limp in. As played fold to his 3-bet and dont check-raise a paired board with total air.
Some hands and a Knock out with AK i get in this spot, abit annoyed after the 3 hands i lost in a row earlier and dont like getting bullied, how bad is this call?: https://gg.gl/xn93z
Its a close spot. You only beat a bluff, but there are several busted draws, he could have, and you have shown weakness by checking turn, after flop got checked back by him.
Now a Crazy River Bad beat???: https://gg.gl/r93gq
Its not really a river bad beat, since all the chips went in preflop. Which is a standard play by you and a bit light by him.
Now this is the next hand right after the bad beat against same player.....Is this really wrong or just unlucky???: https://gg.gl/vos3v
Just unlucky to run into the one hand, which has you completely smoked.

Congrats on winning the 7 bounties. In PKOs that is often more important than min-cashing. I think, your bet sizing could use some work, and also your understanding on bounty dynamics, like when you need to adjust to them, and when not so much. And you seem to overvalue small pairs from early position. Finally towards the end it seems like, you maybe got a little frustrated like the A7 hand. But other than that you mostly played these hands fine.

The 107 hand is too big a bet on river. Too small on the turn- V has made hands with a 7 that gets all-in then sets and combo draws all will call a bigger turn bet.
