Best strategy for BH
I recently decided i was going 2 play 20 £11 BH so (£220 spend total), these are my results to date; *It includes 1 main event so why it says 10 games played.
Total games 10*, Total Spend £132, winnings £83.01, Profit -£49
I know it's a small sample size, but still think i should be atleast break even by this point.
I would say i've generally played pretty well and just not ran pretty good, i've lost most flips. And a few times late on around the bubble i've lost 2 70/30's for a big stack, lost AK />AQ and AQ /> AJ.
I'm just wondering what the best strategy is for these, without fail every single hand is limped multi-ways (early doors). When it is raised even to a big raise, 90% of the time the limpers make up. In my opinion it is quite hard to deal with, i'll give an example below of a hand that despite winning, i don't know if i played it well at all.
My second question, what is the optimal way to play deep in these games. As they are a turbo format, around the bubble/ late on, most players are quite low in blinds, with maybe 15/20 bb's being the average. It's a lot harder to get the blinds 2 fold for example. Back to point one people still love to call even though they are short.
Ina regular deepstack freezout MTT it's a lot easier to apply pressure around about the bubble, but i can't seem to do this in BH'ers. It's maybe something i'm doing wrong.
Any help appreciated.

Pre flop, i think i need to rasie bigger, what is optimal like 160/70? It's scarey such a big raise pre, but clearly the raise i made had no effect.
Tbh, i'm bricking it, top pair top kicker, against 4/5 villians. A bit happier when it is HU to the turn.
Beautiful card on the turn, even if i was behind/ raggy 2 pair atleast now i have outs.
Prob a mistake but decide to just jam, people will call down really light any ace is calling here, just fingers crosed he's not got 2 pair. I know the jam looks bad, it probably is. Thoughts on this hand?
Don't squander chips unneccesarily chasing head-prizes. You should be ignoring bounties in at least 90% of situations. Focus on trying to win the tournament instead, treat it like a freeze-out for the most part.
Every table is different, adapt your style accordingly.
Bully tight short-tacks relentlessly as the bubble approaches, particularly those who haven't won any head-prizes. Unless you have a read to the contrary be less inclined to bully players who've already locked-up more than their buy-in on the bubble.
Engage your killer instinct in the late stages. You're in it to win it, not to meekly blind-out in the hope of laddering a few spots.
Run well.
