50% buy in goes to bounty. Every player you knock out you get 80% their bounty. Any opinions on these games? I dont play em, but was thinking of doing one, but its totaly foriegn territory for me. Sounds like it could be a shove fest??? All bounty bound? Any ideas on how to approach these? Cause I see em on a site I play at with a reasonable buy in and not a huge field, just wonderin....

I think they r great way for people to get more bang for there buck...but as it turns out everytime i play on i seem to be more focused on taking people out then thinking of the greater prize to be won...so usually i do really bad...but maybe you should try it to see if it can work in ur advantage....gl

These bounty tournaments dont take as long and its actually a pretty good tournament to do. You can make your buy in back just from knocking out people. In these people will shove with anything ace something and thats usually what happens. Play tight aggressive most of the way through.

I don't like them as the bounty reduces the payout at the FT.

I just can't take out everyone personally :eek:...and yes they are shovefests (at least <5$buy-in).

I dislike them. There are essentially two payouts.

To win the tournament payout you want to get as many chips as possible with as little risk as possible
To win $ from bounties you need to bust as many people as possible.

Each of these requires a different strategy.
On FT 50% doesn't go to the bounty. I thought just $1 of a $5 buy in or something like that? I remember winning a tournament, knocking out like 6 people, and thinking that it was weird that I barely made a buy-in with knock out bounties.

The bounties just seem like a boobie prize for people who are going to get knocked out anyway. I'd prefer that these people leave the money for the higher finishing players.

Anyway, I don't like them and actually have them filtered out on Full Tilt, so I don't hit them anymore.

Bounty knockout tournaments are one of my favorite kinds. There is a problem when there is a bounty at stake. If your in a 3 or more way had and someone is all-in, people will try to push you off just for the chance to get a bounty.
