Bounty tournaments are crazy, everything happens, all in with weak hands, players calling any bet trying to hit the river, sometimes it feels like a big freeroll.

What's the biggest crazy thing you've seen in bounty tournaments that if it were in a normal tournament it wouldn't happen?

actually since in the biggest tournament people call with crazy low hands I convinced myself that it is part of the game. on a real table I got once A10 suited and went crazy preflop everyone did fold except the big blind, the flop was A 2 10 rainbow I went all in he called with 7 2 and got a 2 in the river .

I don't like bounty tournaments. They are more like a lottery than an intellectual game.

They are bounty tournaments, which means that the bounty hunting makes the players more aggressive. They are exciting tournaments where about the half of the prices are the bounties. So it is expected that as the time is passing and the blinds are rising the best option you have is the show a maximum aggressiveness, if you want to take a high place and reward.

Hello, Everybody!
I can say only an one: I don't like the tournaments with bounty,
I more prefer the ordinary tournaments with the normal structure,
or the turbo tournaments...

In tournaments of this format, absolutely crazy situations always happen. That's why I don't like to play in such tournaments. I just don't like bingo.

I've seen players shoving trash hands on other short shove just to try scare others and get the bounty.

It happens a lot

I've also played like this before and got knocked out at an early stage of the tournament when I wanted to knock out players with small stacks.

Good afternoon.As a very tight player I find difficult to play those games.That is why, I prefer to play the regular ones like freezeouts.

In such tournaments, players often play with junk, and it is more like bingo than poker. Of course it's fun, but sometimes it seems to me that skills don't really matter in such tournaments :)

In prize tournaments, in most cases all-in, the one with the most chips wins

I really enjoy playing bounty tournaments! There is a very large range of opening cards and you can simply knock out players on a good map and earn money

In those tournaments I have seen several times the Madness that all the players at the table pay All-in only because whoever has the lowest bankroll does it!! I have not seen that in any other tournament regardless of the situation.

Usually I play these tournaments more on site and I go for someone with big hands with the exception of the highest pairs AA KK and QQ

I like these tournaments, I like the action in them, many players lose their heads in pursuit of knockouts forgetting that in the far stage knockouts will be better and the winnings will be even better. I always evaluate my stack and the goal of my hand before going for a knockout, my goal is not to get as many knockouts as possible, but to get the latest one and win the tournament.

I think the craziest thing I saw was all the players in the table went all in to try to win a player bounty...lol
And I never see this type of thing happening in a regular tournament.

I really like to play bounty tournaments, but I agree with you, players do a lot of crazy because of a bounty, the biggest one was calling an all-in 64 for an initial bounty on the tournament bubble
