Preflop
Limping behind is better than folding, but I much prefer to isolate the limper. The problem with limping behind is, you allow other players to enter the hand, and this is exactly, what happened. You were actually lucky, BTN sized so small, because that allowed you to at least call and see a flop. If you isolate, you show much more strenght, and you force him to have a real hand to put in a 3-bet.

Flop
Great flop since we have a 12 out draw with the second nut flushdraw and a gutshot as well. Checking to the preflop raiser is perfectly fine, but if we wanted to mix things up, this could certainly be a good spot to go for a donk bet and try to buy position for the rest of the hand. If BTN missed this flop, he cant call a donk bet with hands like A high or 22-55, when he still have 2 guys left to act behind him.

You do check though, BTN C-bet, and now BB move all in for his last 24 blinds. I dont think, folding is an option here, so its only between pushing and calling. And I do slightly prefer to push. If you can get BTN to fold, you will still most likely need to improve to beat BB at showdown, but you will be getting better pot odds especially factoring in the bounty, and you wont have to risk your entire stack.

You do call though, and now BTN jam, which leave you with no other option than to call it off and hope to get there. Its around 4k more to win a pot of 15k, so unless you are against the worst combination of hands like someone with the nut flushdraw and someone with a set, you are getting the right pot odds to get it in and gamble.

Quite a spectacular way to crack aces with a straight flush, and from his perspective thats what you get, when you dont go large enough preflop and invite a multiway pot. Dont think, he would have ever folded AA on the flop in a bounty tournament, so pushing on the flop would not have made any difference. Isolating preflop would likely have induced him to 3-bet, in which case you would have had to fold. And while that would have been bad with this specific board runout, getting away from spots, where we only have 20% equity, is a better outcome in the long run than relying on hitting a favourable board runout :)

Hand 2 A5o
Easy fold. Even AQo goes in much for me, when UTG has opened, and someone else have 3-bet.

Hand 3 A8o
Standard spot to open raise.

Hand 4 Q8o
Fold preflop. Check flop and turn is fine. On the river we make a straight, but there is both a higher straight (98) and a flush out there, and there is a bet and a raise ahead of us. Even so folding is to tight, but 3-betting is an overplay, so just call and hope, BB dont come back over the top. If he does, I can see folding, especially if the other guy gives him action.

Hand 5-6 (junk)
Easy fold.

Hand 7 KK
3-bet to 4x his raise and get it in, if he 4-bet.

It seems like you are doing a lot of "rabbit hunting", and this is a bad habit, you want to get rid off. In hand 2 the board ran out with 4 hearts, so your A5 with Ah would have rivered the nuts. But this is not, how decisions are made in poker. We dont play the hand backwards from showdown and adjust our decisions after that. So try to find some more interesting hands to post instead. Hands where its not so obvious, what the correct decision was, and where we all have a chance to learn and improve by discussing them :)

Hand 8 KTs

This is actually an interesting one, so lets break it down street by street, like I normally do, when people only post a single hand.

Preflop
Having KTs is SB and facing a min-raise from UTG is pretty akward to say the least. In BB this would be a snap call, but in SB we are not closing action and getting a worse price, so its pretty borderline. We could 3-bet, but we mainly want to attact late position opens, and when we have position on the opener, so I am not really on board with that option either. I honestly dont hate just folding here, but its not the worst call in the world, especially if BB is a passive and tight player, who will do a lot of folding.

Flop
This is an interesting flop, where on the surface it looks like, we missed, but we actually flopped decent equity with two overs and some backdoors. So if we are going to call preflop, giving up on a flop like this is a little to tight. Whats even more important than our actual hand is the fact, this flop is much better for our percieved range than his. When he open UTG, he can have all the sets and overpairs, but apart from that he has a lot of A high and K high. Hands that missed completely.

And while our hand has some equity, we are not really ahead of anything right now, and we dont have that much equity either. So for me this is a hand, which play much better as a bluff than a check-call. We can simply donk lead here, because the board favour our range, and if we do so, is he really going to hang on with just two overcards? probably not. So we can get a lot of slightly better hands to fold by leading. If we think, he is over C-betting (HUD-stats are very usefull here), we can also go for a check-raise, especially when the C-bet comes in small. We are risking more chips that way, but we also win a bigger pot, when he is bet-folding.

Turn
This is another spot, where leading - as played - would be a great option. When he open UTG, he pretty much never has a 9 in his hand, so this card is massively better for our perceived range than his. Maybe he can have A9s, but anothing other than that is a really wide open UTG. He also have less combos of flopped sets now, and if we have a 9, his overpairs are now behind. So leading can get a ton of folds here, especially if we think, he is C-betting wide.

I am less keen on check-raising at this point, because while we did actually pick up a flushdraw, which is nice, stacks are now such, that any check-raise large enough to give us fold equity would pretty much commit us to the pot. So we are not getting a great risk-reward, and when he fire the turn, his range is probably also quite a bit stronger containing a lot of overpairs. In the micros trying to make people fold a big overpair is usually not the best plan, so as played until this point I would just call and try to get there on the river.

As I saw in PS tournaments with micro BI, many players open on UTG with very wide range, so on turn I thought that villain may had too many hands for FH(Ax spades also) and even I'll see spade on river, my hand will be dead.

Its true, that your draw was not to the nuts, and thats definitely something to consider, especially if we continue with a call. Often that is justified by the idea, we have implied odds, if we hit, but in this situation you are completely right, that there are some reverse implied odds as well, when you make a flush but lose to the A high flush or a boat. I just think, that if we are going to check-fold the turn, when we actually improve and pick up equity, then we should probably have saved some chips by folding on the flop or even better preflop ;)

If I saw any other spade on the turn, I would definitely call or raise, especially if it was Ace.

Most of the time I multi-table, so it is no question, simply fold. Generally, happened too many times, that i went after pre-flop limping machines with simply top pair and nothing else, so without kicker, it is not even worth for consideration.

Don't care much my opponents' previous hands - worth for a note, he goes after stack building agressively at the beginning -, means nothing for the actual one. It is also easy fold. I definitely want to double up on him, but not randomly, especially not pre-flop allin from 30BB+ with KJo.
Anyway, his 2nd hand with 57s, don't think that's a fault, suddenly i think, he had the pot odds for that. Especially if i see the flop opener pot bet can represent only overpair for me...

Again the easy fold category for me without any consideration.

That's finally a good one. I pretty much hate the situations like this - mean pre-flop. Depends on how agressively he tried to steal blinds. Don't like to call hands like this under, around 20BB stack, but i still do sometimes. Probably the pre-flop allin is better with KJo, in this situation.
On flop, it is check, if he bets, then it is all-in. Hope he does.
