Hello,
A rubbish new player here in need of some advice!
I like to play the B/H's. 14 times on the spin now I have lost hands on all ins with AQ. Now to me AQ is a good enough hand to be going all in? Or is that just me being naïve? Is it just bad luck? I think on 11 of these I have had best hand going into the flop.
Usually I raise pre-flop of course - depending on the BB at the time I normally go 3 times raise. If someone shoves, then I feel obliged to call it.
Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong. Its driving me mad.
What's the minimum people usually go all in, in the B/Hs?
Cheers

Post some of your hands in the clinic to get some good advice.

AQ is never good enough to go all-in with pre flop anytime anywhere
see the flop-re-access.
I don't play many b/h but if I did AK would be my minimum and maybe 99+ aipf

The real difference is........
If we are up against another player with a really short stack, then our AQ is plenty good enough to set him all-in, because he is most probably shoving/calling you with a very wide range of hands.
If we are holding AQ etc against a player with a similar or bigger stack, then we really need to be looking for better hands.
If you have position, then by all means raise with it pre-flop.
If you don't have position, then I prefer to just make the call with it pre-flop.
Once the flop is down, reassess the board to decide your next move.
Don't shove all in on the flop just because the board flops low - more often than not in Bounty Hunters a player has called to the flop with much lower cards than they would in standard Texas Holdem, so there is always a chance they have hit it and your AQ is behind at this stage.
If everyone folds round to me and I am up against a shortstack, I will alway shove/call with AQ etc otherwise I want to see a flop and reassess.
Always be aware of the stack sizes around you before commiting all your chips.
Good Luck.
