So here is a $150 All-in or Fold Bounty tournament at my local casino tonight. Bounties are $25. Seems like a joke, but I'm considering playing just for the hell of it. Anyone have any experience with this format?
my god that must be a high variance tourney. I wouldn't play in it, but if you have the 150 to burn, heck why not. Prolly be fun that's for sure. keep us updated if you do.
Is crazy, I always recommend being cautious, however, you take the decision. I would recommend that you first see how other people are going and until you are totally safe. Remember to have fun and benefit
I'm pretty positive I'm going to do it just because several of my friends are. My plan is to play only super premium hands in the first 5-7 seats. Open up a little more with my hands towards the button. If I ever get a monster stack I will take a risk against a small stack shove just to try for the bounty. This is the best strategy I've come up with so far. I'll keep you guys updated!
Use the cassic push-fold strategy, pay attention to how many blinds you have, the range of your opponents, how many people on the table, and good luck!
So my first all in was A5s called by A7o. I won! Flopped a 5. Second all in was kings, and I cracked Aces. I was card dead forever. Made it into the final 30% of the field. POCKET ACES CRACKED TWICE. Once by KQ and once by pocket 2s to send me home. It was definitely fun, but essentially a slot machine lol
