Villains quite loose. I was afraid of getting out of the first levels but I'm not sleeping well thinking I made the wrong move.https://upswingpoker.com/hand/?pokeit=524uKz4EG
The thing that troubles me and makes me skeptical is that this is a KO tour and people often go in lighter than the usual if bounties are at stake.
This is completely correct and very well explained, I just add that with the call of the villain it was an easy fold having TT in a multiple pot you only have to enter with premium hands the other would be a suicide especially in a $ 22 tournament where it is already assumed that there are better players and a more formal poker is played for giving an expressionIts always a little annoying, when we fold and then gets shown two hands, we were ahead off. But poker is a long term game, and long term I think, this is a correct fold. If the guy with 99 had folded, as probably he should, it would be more ok to make the call and try to collect a bounty for 26BB, especially if you had a read, that the guy jamming was a bit loosy-goosy. You could 3-bet pre, but from UTG+2 that is a little bit iffy in my opinion, so I dont mind your flat.
But even so this was a 22$ tournament, so I would not expect per default, that someone is putting a large 60BB stack at risk with 99, when he has several players left to act after him, including someone how opened from UTG+1. It worked out perfectly for him this time, because the guy jamming for 27BB turned out to have two cards lower than a 9, and he got at least one better hand to fold. But in the long run this is hardly a profitable nor common play. He is more likely to show up with JJ+ than 99, in which case Hero would have lowed his fold.
I considered this hand very lucky. The villain played the A8o badly but shouldn't he have called pre-flop? Shouldn't I have shoved the 2 pair after the flop?

True, I agree. By the way I don't like bounty tournaments and I don't play them, I say that it troubles me because I have seen worse than this hand on 530$ bounty builder on youtube videos xD.
On PokerStars it seem like, more and more tournaments are bounty tournaments, and these are generally more popular with the recreational players than traditional tournaments. So if your goal is to make money, then at least on Stars you need to learn to love this game format
