This topic is not about implied pot odds, where we are calculating what to do regarding the amount of chips we might win, it is more of a thought about general tournament strategy in Bounty builders..

So, I am sitting on a stack of 200+ BB where the rest of the table is pretty even in chips and have stacks of about 60-80BB. I hold 4s6c in the BB, UTG+1 raises 2.1BB, BU calls, and I call.

Flop is T8d 6h, action is check - check and BU opens pot size. At the stakes I am playing, people love to bet pot size with TP and sometimes draws to the nuts, but mostly TP (regardless of the kicker).
I know, that if I hit another 6 or a 4 on the turn it will likely all go in when I check-raise the turn. Therefore, should this be a call and a cry for 5 outs, considering the possible money to be won, as well as the stack I would have? (something like 280BB)

I don't know if I would be playing 46 offsuit in any hands I will be playing. Most times you will not win with this hand. I would at least wait for 66 or 44 to call for implied odds or whatever. The quality of your hand will go along way in poker.

But if you did win the hand then it was a good call then...

I'd just call and pray for the river.But bounty builders the players generally go all in.

Even with the bounties on the line, you should be waiting for better spots. If you had 67 or 69 with a flush and straight draw I would be for calling the pot size bet or even raising all in right there.

Don't call with weak holdings to a pot bet. You're out of position, and are 88% likely to miss the next card. When you inevitably check the turn, that guy on the button is gonna blow you off the pot. You're just throwing chips away if you check call there.

I would wait for a better spot. Odds just aren't good enough in this case IMO.

I would not pay I think it is an unreasonable risk with these letters, although it depends on what I observe at the table and what my instinct tells me, right now I tell you I would not pay, but if I were in that situation it would depend on what I said before

It doesn't seem like a good play, mainly because you're out of position. And it's still pretty dicey even if you were last to act.

There's no need to push things with holdings such as 64o even when you are the big stack at the table. Yes, you want to be aggressive and use your chips to your advantage, but you still need to wait for decent holdings in decent position.

Just fold 46o preflop - if you are calling with this garbage you are pretty much calling 100% of your range. You will miss most flops for value and for good bluffing spots. Just fold and wait for better hands.
