what should i do here?
£100 speed bounty hunter, how should I play this hand?
just been moved and I am straight on the BB.
I tend to do the same sort of play when I flop hands like this but I probably lose money in the long run by the way I do play it.

when you check back your range completely murders this flop. you have virtually every 2,3,4,5,6 in your check back range. so when you donk out, even small, your percieved range is going to be very strong. granted not many players think at this level, but you should give your opponents some credit.
you dont really benefit from protecting your hand. you have the near nuts, with a redraw to an even more nutted hand. prefer checking to allow people to hit over-cards, or pick up a heart draw that is drawing dead.
when you do min donk it is to induce, and that has been sucessful.
jamming over is going to be pretty disasterous. you price out a lot of draws / gut shots. and you dominate all of those hands. i'd prefer to keep more players in the hand by checking or if donking, do it for value and bet a more appropriate size. and as played flatting villain's raise.
i've seen you minbet strong holdings on the flop in a number of hand histories. you are burning value by doing it, and are likely giving off severe tells.
i know in the games i play weaker player employ a min bet flop, min/ small bet turn and then bet MASSIVE on river. it's very easy to fist-pump and do a happy dance before laying down top pair as they have grassed up their hand strength. its something that is going to be very obvious to anyone semi observant in your games, and also as a population tell for players that track these tendencies.
I actually feel like im playing better, just still got a lot to tweak yet.
if that makes sense
adopting to a new style and or strategy is difficult.
you have different ranges and end up in parts of the game tree that are unfamiliar, so its always a challenging transition.
limp into too many pots with too wide a range is a very common leak, and one that i wager we all have had at some point.
once you are confident in your preflop ranges look into betsizing on flops, as just from the few HH's you've posted its something that might need tweaking
best of luck.
we can be very exploitative v most mtt players, but adopting a more standard size will be good going forward.
the turn is a bad card for us.
villain has a lot of traps. if you do elect to bet you dont want to be betting a big sizing. half to maybe 2/3 pot will be fine.
against most opponents you can lay down top pair if you get check raised and then bet into with a big sizing on the river.
checking turn is an option and bluff catching non diamond rivers or smallish river bets.
In order to value bet you need more than 50% equity v villains x/c range. I doubt there are enough weaker, Ax, K high and underpairs in his calling range for us to bet. If you have reads on how he plays nuts on river you can maybe make a thin bet. But you need to bet very small. Certainly don't go anywhere near half pot.
But checking seems a really good option.
What did he have?
Nice.
You pretty much owned him, not just for his hand but his whole range.
You defo shouldn't view this hand with any negative 'bad beat' type feelings.
You played your hand well v his range. And that's printing money in these games
