I haven't seen much discussion on this topic even though I think it deserves some attention.
Nearly everyone realises that your calling range to a shove in a bounty tournament should widen if you have villain covered and you're not likely to be reshoved on. The question is -- by how much?
I've developed a formula for this, but I want to test the water first against the CC community's intuition. There are players on this forum with excellent feels for the game.
Let's take a situation. It's midway through a $6 bounty tourney and you're in the BB w AQo. The blinds are 100/200 and you have 3000 chips after posting (your starting stack). A player with 1500 chips shoves from MP2 and everyone folds to you.
Assume his range is 88+ AQ+ KQs KJs (6.2%)
Do you call?
If there's a $1 bounty on his head, do you call?
To save you time, pokerstove puts your equity at 39.7% against his range.
