bounty tourneys

[colbear]

was totally blasted today by some donk cause i raised him out of a pot that would of put 200 chip low stack out of the game
normall tourneys i feel the same way but this was a bounty tourney 3 hands later i took the ss out who now had only 400 chips to my 11000 and colected the $10 bounty he had on his head
remember bounty tourneys are alot different than normal holdem tourneys i have often made more on bounties than i have in the payouts even when i take the win
i will quite often save a ss even knowing he probably has me beat as long as he is a real ss and very likely not a threat the bounty is worth it in most cases

While I don't play all that many bounty tournaments, the degree to which I adjust to go for bounties depends on how much they are relative to both the buyin and the regular prize table. If the bounties are sizable, I'm more likely to go for them, especially earlier on when it's more difficult to gauge how my chances are of cashing and placing high.
