Snap call (and snap note to this player), because it's a bounty therefore we need even less equity to call, I don't need to watch the replay. He is jamming 50 bbs so I can tell he is a massive loser and he doesn't understand much.GL!

Agree! If anything you'll probably chop. Although if I had to say they've prolly got AQ or AJ.

Really it depends on how you want to play these types of tournaments.
This isn't the $10,000 main event well structured tournament.
It's a relatively weak field and blinds go up fast.

So you have to take a higher variance line eventually. Personally, I like to do it earlier and build a big chip stack/bust early so I can play solid poker in the middle stages.

2 questions, Were starting stacks 5000 chips? Do you see people open shove 50bb with 1010 JJ QQ AQ or worse this early in the tournament?

When you call you should recognize that most of the time you are flipping at best. So, it shouldnt be I'm calling because I have AK, but I'm calling because I'd rather risk the chips early and be out vs. grind a 20bb stack for the next 2 hours just to min cash.

That's very horrible. I agree, instant note. Would be worthy to see this person what is he willing to do with hands like Axs, pockets JJ+.
I also found these type of players tight, cause when they have it, they're acting win or go home. Also, when they not have it, they tend to make big bluffs as well. I see big value in these type of players, you just need great timing and better set-up against them.

I'm really not sure if we are flipping at the best. People who capable putting 50+bbs for 2bbs (no bounties or small stacks after) are just crazy. And you can't identify craziness like only pocket pairs. What if he has 910s or 87s just because he can? Or 83o just because he is uninterested? We have AKs here blocking A and K too.

However I do agree with you, in bounty games the worst you can do is just destroy your stack, cause many moves will be not even card-specific as time goes on, simply just the worth of our position and stack sizes.
