Bounties

[wellalmeida]

You have 47 blinds, in the bubble of 1 Ft, Bounty Builder $11 tournament, Low jack with AQoff, opens 3x, small blind goes all-in with 32 blinds and a considerable bounty, do you call?

It is tournaments that have a reward for knocking out players that are the most popular MTT format in most poker rooms. Moreover, a separate series with tournaments of this type is arranged on a regular basis at pokerstars, it is called the KO Series.The main feature of bounty tournaments, which makes them so popular, is the fact that a player can win back the buy-in amount and even get a profit even before he gets into the prize zone. It is enough just to knock out several opponents and get a reward for their head.

Difficult decision, I could easily have AA KK JJ and even any pair in hand could leave you compromised.
in this opportunity I would pass the cup

Very interesting spot, thanks for posting! :icon_thum

Do you have any data, reads or history on/with the player?

How have they been playing?

What does 'considerable' mean?

In a regular MTT I'd perhaps be much more inclined to fold whereas in a PKO the reverse would be true, especially if opponent had a large bounty.

My decision would likely be finalised based on my understanding of the player's range/tendencies.

It all depends on the reward, notes on the player, at best a flip and knocking out two, at worst the loss of the stack and the possibility of winning the tournament.

In bounty game not calling should never be an option (unless you actually dont want bounties for some weird reason) ...

I think the risk is worth the reward, not terrible, still missing a final table, the stack setup points are worth it, but there are a lot of developed downs and bigger shorts from odds.

KO tournament. You must go for the bounty....

KO in the tournament. You must go for the reward....

That must be why the guy called me all-in for 25bb with 96s, I had 88. Now, guess the river?

Of course, it's better to look at the record of the hand in the replayer and see more data. In the bubble stage of the ICM, the pressure is very strong, and folding is likely to be the right decision. Because even the first bet of 3x is already possibly increased and indicates the strength of the hand (this judgment will be incorrect if this is the standard bet size for this player), the second player puts all-in, I don’t think that the bet is a bluff.

2 key factors here, how short are the short stacks? If they are really short and I can probably just fold an orbit or 2 into the money then tend to lean towards fold.

The other bit of info I'd want to know is the payouts relative to the bounty. FT bubble, is this for min cash or are we already in the money? If we are already in the money and its just decent payjump to FT then I'm way more likely to be calling here. If the bounty is more than the payjump, then again it much more likely a call.

I love em, let's you get 💰 before you reach the final table. Its a really a toss up because no matter what, I play to win so when I all in I usually have the best hand, meaning I know I probably can't be beat, if you call a all in,and lose ,well that's the reason I alld in, I didn't think I could lose. Now alot of players bluff,but im usually the 1 pushing them all in with a simple check n reraise, the ole sneaky sneaky trick. Good luck.
