In overall how do you think i played this bounty builder tournament? Any advice or tips/feedback/criticism is much appreciated <3

This is a lot of hands and a lot to review. Maybe pick a couple to start with that you have questions about? Also easier if you post them in-thread with reads etc. The more clicks people have to make to read them the less likely they are to do so.

Cliffs ?

I played the first hand and it took 2 minutes (though near the middle I speeded it up to 2x). When it got to the end it abruptly cut off so I didn't see whether or not there was a river bet by you or if you checked.

In my opinion you need to break down each hand by what you had how many blinds everyone in the hand had, and what happened on each street up to the point where you want to know if what you did was OK. And don't post results because that may skew responses. Otherwise I don't think you will be getting responses.

If you want to see an example look at some of JKPoker's posts. He gives us like 4+ hands each time and we give him responses usually to all of the hands he posts.

I watched the last three.

Probably you have to call some percentage of the time, but I guess the question is how many bluffs you think your opponent has. I think the queen is a bad card to have here since you block a lot of the more obvious bluffs.

Don't post hands like this. You lost a flip-- in a brutal way, sure, but even if it was a bad beat, the point of posting hands is to ask about decisions. There wasn't any real decision to make with this one.

I'm honestly not sure. My sense on the one hand is that a 3x raise is more polarized than a limp or a jam, so your jam might just get called by strong hands. On the other hand, jamming makes it hard to lose to a worse hand, and it's a PKO (I think? Or is it a regular KO?), so you might get called wider for the bounty. And of course, this depends on how close to theoretically optimal your opponent is playing. But in theory at least, the 3x open should be polarized so flatting is probably the better option.

I struggle with how to respond optimally to those 3x:es when I otherwise would have called or jammed with a hand somewhere in the middle of my normal range for that. Especially when they come from some one in late position.

Do you think 3x-ranges are polarized often in reality at low or midstakes in the lower BI range?

Should we consider the relative stack sizes when we try to guess villains range? I mean: A bigger stack could be more willing to do this with a wider range if he believes it will generate more folds from the blinds. In this case villain would either risk 15% of his stack if he plans to fold to a shove. Or calling with the risk of being reduced to a micro stack. I think against a virtually unknown player it's best not to count on a lot of FE if we shove, because he will have a good hand he's willing to play for stacks. And limp or minraise most of his other range, maybe with the exception of AA (we obv saw him doing it here with KK) If so KJo feels to weak to shove. Against a calling range like 77-KK,A9s+,KJs+,AJo+,KQo we're almost 33-67.

If we flat we will be in position. But how big of an advantage is that really given those stack depths? In my experience this sort of players when op ATF will CBET and CBET quite big (like perhaps 4-5 BB in this case). We'll have to fold all missed flops, and even when we hit and call/raise AI he quite often will snap call with a dominating hand like KQ on a K95-flop.

But ofc I realise it might seem very weak to advocate a fold here. It's just that I feel I often overplayed this type of spots in the past, resulting in mostly losing the hand and busting the tournament.
