Hand 1 JJ
3 limpers in front of you, so very tough field LOL. Against so many limpers I go larger with the isolation especially with a hand as great but also vulnerable as JJ. SB now jam, and a limper call, and normally I dont auto stack-off JJ preflop for 50 ish BB. But this is a bounty, you cover them both, and its a very low buyin, where there is going to be a lot of action. So for me this is an easy call. Time to gamble it up and try to build a huge stack + win some bountys. I also discount AA and KK from both players ranges, because I dont think, people limp behind with those hands very often, and I also think, they would often go for a small 3-bet rather than just pile it in.

Hand 2 Q9o
Not the best hand but since we are on BTN and have a big stack, I am totally fine with this open. I am also calling that donk jam on the flop. He could have flopped a straight or a better two pair with QT, but I think, this line look more like a hand, which dont mind folds, like maybe a QJ/JT/J9 type of thing. We have top and bottom, which is a very strong hand, and we can win his bounty. So for me this is another spot, where its time to gamble it up.

Hand 3 AKo
A 4BB open size is way to big with these stack sizes. On the flop you have a very low SPR, which leave little room to maneuver, and for that reason I prefer to check. If he check behind, thats cool, and if he bet, I would go for a check-jam turning my hand into a semi-bluff. I dont love C-betting, because if he raise, we are in bad shape and probably need to fold, and if he just call, we dont have enough room to play the turn and river well out of position.

As played definitely check the turn. You are playing like, you are trying to milk him for thin value, but you have A high, so this makes no sense. As played you put in so much of his stack, that you kind of committed yourself to stack off to his raise, but you are doing so now against the strongest part of his range, with no fold equity and with only 1 card to come. Which is a way worse situation than check-jamming the flop.

Hand 4 AQs
Given, that this is a PKO, I think, we have to call, even its a huge jam. In a regular MTT I would at least consider a fold depending on the opponent.

Hand 5 AKo
Unless you were trying to trap overly aggressive 3-bettors behind you, I would pretty much always 3-bet this hand myself. As played an easy call. If you are ever going to just call AK preflop, then this is exactly the kind of action, you are hoping to induce, and you can win their bountys.

Hand 6 AKo
A min-cash in a PKO is not even a single buyin, so the fact, this is near the bubble, is almost irrelevant. AK is a hand, that need to see all 5 cards, so I dont like putting in a third of my chips and then only get to see the flop. For me this is an easy preflop jam, and maybe you even have fold equity, if BB is getting out of line with his big stack. As played I would fold on the flop. You missed the flop, so getting it in now is way worse than getting it in preflop, and you also cant expect him to ever fold, when he would be getting 4:1 on a jam.
