So here is a $150 All-in or Fold Bounty tournament at my local casino tonight. Bounties are $25. Seems like a joke, but I'm considering playing just for the hell of it. Anyone have any experience with this format?

Is crazy, I always recommend being cautious, however, you take the decision. I would recommend that you first see how other people are going and until you are totally safe. Remember to have fun and benefit

Haven't ever played in a Casino anything besides blackjack in terms or cards games. But why not give it a go? Good Luck! :D

Seems crazy, not my sort of game although I do like bounty tournaments.

If you do play it, let us know how it went.

Good Luck!

That Format is not that bad if you follow the rules and a proper Strategy as SST Short Stack Strategy.

I will Fold all hands unless prime hands, well If Blinds don`t increase too fast! :)

I'm pretty positive I'm going to do it just because several of my friends are. My plan is to play only super premium hands in the first 5-7 seats. Open up a little more with my hands towards the button. If I ever get a monster stack I will take a risk against a small stack shove just to try for the bounty. This is the best strategy I've come up with so far. I'll keep you guys updated!

Use the cassic push-fold strategy, pay attention to how many blinds you have, the range of your opponents, how many people on the table, and good luck!

Bring a push fold chart with you or memorize one before going and follow it to a T. Good luck

No I have no experience with bounties in a tournament. Anyways the bounty does sound small.

That's a big bingo. But if you can afford to burn that money and think you can have fun, go ahead.

Yep, definitely too crazy for me. I wish you the very best of luck and look forward to your update.

PS Pocket aces a couple of times early on would help. Fingers crossed.

If you've got the bankroll behind it sure. Pretend it's late tournament Poker where blinds/antes are huge!

Might be fun haha

So my first all in was A5s called by A7o. I won! Flopped a 5. Second all in was kings, and I cracked Aces. I was card dead forever. Made it into the final 30% of the field. POCKET ACES CRACKED TWICE. Once by KQ and once by pocket 2s to send me home. It was definitely fun, but essentially a slot machine lol

I would, but only if the situation were the same where I was playing more for pride than anything. One of my buddies actually took 3rd!

It was very flat from my understanding, I'm not sure what the total number of payouts was.
