bounty hunters

edited January 2013 in The Poker Clinic

i decided to try a bounty hunter but two hands really got me puzzled with how to play in these tournements
i already raised before that shove so when the other person shoved i thought surely it would be QQ or AQ+
so why would he/she waste chip with a hand like this should i have just made  the call

and this hand i did a raise of 4xbb yet a call is made with A2os and most of the game i was folding so why would he/she not expect me to have a good hand

one other piece of advice i would like to ask is what should i build my bankroll to before i next enter a bounty hunter because i have had these strange calls a few times now and am starting to think that bounty hunters can be a much greater risk for low bank rolls.
i two out of 3 regular tournements i finished well yet these i just can't get far at all.

    Hand 1 - Obviously just a guy chasing a bounty. You'll often see when 1 short stack goes all-in, the inexperienced players are desperate to try to get him on his own, hopefully win a race so they can take a bounty (you shouldn't be chasing bounties with junk like 56o obv).

    Hand 2 - Most people in these cheap BHs are paying zero attention to how often you play a hand, what hand you might have etc. Bad players like raggy Aces :)

    All tournaments are really high variance, so if you were gonna play nothing but MTTs on Sky where they'll usually be like 100+ runners, I'd want about £100 to be playing £2 MTTs
