Bounty STT Stategy

anyone know any good strats for bounty STTs ? I'm a winning player at regular STTs but my ROI is negative in bounty STTs... i tend to play both the same way but it seems like ICM doesn't work too well with bounties, which really isn't that surprising when you think about it.

I don't have a good strategy, love the bounty tourneys though!

I have noticed that players seem a bit more aggressive, a bit more willing to go all in.

I try to ignore that it's a bounty, when I used to try and knock someone out my roi dropped more than it already is.

I focus a bit more on quality hands and reads on my opps so when I am in an all in situation I'm not too concerned about bluffs.

I also try to trap more seeing as peeps seem to be more aggressive and willing to go all in.

I have done decent in the BTY format.

Like raven said, "Don't give into the extra-aggression that players will show"

Stay really tight when you go from 10man to 5man.

Shove/Fold Poker once the blinds are 20% your starting stack.

If you are in 2nd of 3...and 1st gives you action fold just about anything....

the amount of suckouts from a chipleader in top 3 are sick...If I am in 2nd when I put my chips in...100% of the time I am out after......JUST SIT TIGHT......try to apply pressure on 3rd.

Rigged...maybe.......Fun...for sure...
