Bounty Tourneys

I was wondering if anyone has ever seen a bounty tourney offered online.

Working in IT I know the programing behind this would be quite a chore, but they are fun. I was in Las Vegas a few months ago and the Orleans has one that I entered. It was a multiple rebuy tourney, but you got $5 for each person you knocked out.

I got onto a rebuy crazy table early one and got a little carried away. I didn't finish ITM, but I came close. And to win $5 3-4 times at least gave me some concolation.

Anyway, I would really like to find one of these online.

Any help?

There is a regular "Headhunter" tourney on jetset
they are fun to play in. It is excactly like you just explained.
the buy in's range from $10 to $100.
the $100 headhunter is by far the best, the bounty gets up to $90 on some ranked players. the problem is that most people are reluctant to call an all in so as not to give up their bounty. but check it out anyways
good luck and happy hunting.

Could someone please define what Bounty poker is for those of us who don't know. Thanks.

bounty poker is when certain (or sometimes every) player(s) have a prize on their head.

If you knock that player out of the tournament then you win that prize.

Typically this is usually money but sometimes if an author of a poker book is in the tournament you can win a free copy of their book.

If you watch poker on Television, one of the tourneys, (I think it was in the WPT Shooting Stars of Poker) was a bounty tourney. In this case, all the big name professionals had a bounty on their head. I think it was a way to get more 'dead money' by giving non ITM hopefuls a way to recoup some of their entry fee. If the someone knocked out a poker professional who had a bounty, they got I think $1000 and a T-Shirt. During the episode, they show pokerstars signing the T-Shirts. I think it was Phil Ivey who was the only one left at the final table to be knocked out, and an amateur did it, so they show him asking for a signature after beating the guy...

The one at the Orleans had a bounty on every player. So if you knocked anyone out you received $5. At the Orleans, basicly they give you a card and then the manager comes and gives you a $5 chip. I still have thje grimy one they gave me for the first guy I knocked out.

Does anyone know any other B&M Casinos that offer bounty Tourneys?

The one at the Orleans is every day and they get quite a few entrants. The late ones on the weekend are not bounty tourney's though. They are really fun and I would encourage you to play if you can find one.

For anyone who is interested, I was visiting DoylesRoom yesterday and saw that they are going to have an upcoming bounty tourney.

I don't play there, but this might give me the impetus to sign up.

Has anyone played in one of their Bounty Tourneys before that can give a general description of how it works/worked in real life?
