A few hands from tonight (various bounty hunter MTTs).

Any feedback greatly appreciated!

Hand 1

Blinds 300/600. We have 16k. Villian has 11k.

He opens button, to 1.2k, we defend bb with  3h 5h (sb has folded). Pot = 2.7k.

Flop;  8c  Ahrt  4h. We Check, he bets 1.8k, pot is 4.5k, he has just over 8k left. We jam he folds. *No real reads.

Hand 2

This is quite interesting pre, probs should be a fold? Blind on blind battle. We are in the BB with  2d 7h.

At the start of the hand Villian has 17kish, we have 19kish.

SB min raises, we defend? Blinds are 600/1.2k.  Pot is 4.8k.

Flop  6s 8s 9c.

He bets big, 3.6k, with 11250 behind, I move all in. Ok, he can't or shouldn't really be folding here. Gamboool?

Hand 3

This one is quite interesting. Blind v Blind battle again.

SB is a serial limper, which has a big impact on my river decision. I felt it was an easy fold at the time.

Blinds 300/600. We have 20k Villian has 12k at the start of the hand.

SB makes up extra 300, and I check?? I used to always raise here the vast majority of the time, I've started checking here sometimes.

 Kh Jd. Should this be a raise 100% of the time?

Pot 1200. Flop,  5d  3c  8d. Check, bet 600, call (pot 2400) Turn  Jh. Check, bet 1654. Call. (5708).

River  4s. Villian moves all in for 9848. We fold.

Prob a trivial fold, but just really interesting he does this massive over bet in my experience he has atleast 2 pair here. But interesting!

Big mistake might be not raising pre. fwiw, if he checks we are value betting the river, like 35-40% pot.

hand 1 wp
hand 2 fold pre, without antes you can give ur bb up more and this is obv just a terrible terrible hand to defend even in position. As played I'm calling the flop bet and jamming turn if he checks, folding to another bet.
hand 3 is hu bvb we have position? raising for value if so. wouldn't cbet, turn and river wp.

Hand one is very standard stuff.

Hand 2 is woeful IMO. Probs have to go with it after flopping as well as we could hope, but it really should be in the bin. Such an awful hand to defend with, and the stack sizes involved don't give much, if any, leeway for playing down a single street, let alone 3.

Hand 3...villain is only playing 20bb so would like to apply some pressure pre, with position and a decent hand HU. As played, the bet on the flop is kinda pointless after not raising pre. Easy fold on the river, this is just hardly ever a bluff (or worse 'value' hand) in a Sky BH.

pretty sure calling anything in positon to a min raise if the blinds are backwards will be absolutely fine.

Hand 4

This is from a later MTT. Was pretty confident this was a call. Although maybe it's close or a fold.

It's 3 handed (FT). We have 27K,  BB 19K, and SB 76K.

Blinds 600/1200.

We have Ace 7 o/s OTB, min raise, BB Jams. It's a bounty hunter aswell.

The BB is a winning MTT player. He has jammed a couple of times over our button raise.

I think he's doing this pretty wide. I knew as soon as I seen my hand if he jammed I was calling.

Is there any shout for folding and waiting for a better spot (where i'm jamming, not calling off)

He had 10 K o/s
