Im just wondering if there are any conscious adjustments a player should be making in bounty games. (eg overplaying/isoalting more hands with short stacks, sizing more river bets for potential KOs if ur called as opposed to higher calling pctg but no KO?)
I really have no exp in bounty games nor do i think ive ever read any strategy articles adressing them. so ... adjust, or play standard and let the bounties come on their own? (I am assuming that collecting bounties would have a reasonable affect on your ROI [5.5 is a buy in...] am i overestimating how much potential adjustments could affect the number of people u send to the rail, the impact on your ROI bounties could have, or maybe undervaluing the effect of my best poker keeping me in the tournament longer to have more oportunities to collect bounties?) I dunno cant really get my mind around it just yet. Id really appreciate any help here. THX |

Ok for one thing id expect the structure to favor LAGier play overall. agressive accumulators should have higher returns from these games problably achieving a 100 percent return before they hit the bubble wheras survivalists would b less likely to aquire as many bounties. Due to more gambling for bounties on short stacks they should get more action on their premium hands(id expect survivalists to b shortish throughout without the deck hittin em in the face)
I just watched mike craig play a low limit turbo K game and id say he won 3x the buy in for KOs (15 or so). (he was all in 40+ times) This amount doubled his payout for 30th or so of a 1k field. in a turbo predominantly LAG is optimal and this plays well with the bounty scheme but should u adjust in regular games as well? |

I play bounties on UB all the time. I don't change my strategy at all.

thx
ill have to see what i think after playing a number of them so far playing TAG has been a waste of money and ive made more than my buy in in bounties (despite not cashing) playing very laggy early are u a LAG early (chipping up)id tend to think LAG early standard late is the correct way to play these- if your playing tag till youre deep/ blinds are substantial then making a move for final table chips (multitabling) id say youre donating money with your bounty. Might as well have that extra 20 percent on the prize pool. |

DeuceSeven how is your roi affected by playing in bounty games ? (by bounties themselves when u dont cash, by others adjusted play when u do- limited experience but id say its safe to say theres alot more gambling at least early)

I've played about 15-20 of these I've made 2 fts at the 6.50. The play is just as bad as a similar stake mtts. I don't change my early strategy at ss mtts for bounties, in general I play very loose, very weak pf then tight aggressive post flop. Essentially bounties shouldn't change your strategy unless the bounties are pretty substantial in relation to the buy in. I don't know maybe some ICM math guy can work out an equation to give you a more scientific answer. In general, I want to play lots of flops for cheap with position if possible with scs and small pps in ss mtts. I don't see why bounties would affect strategy and the players are just as bad as other regular mtts of around the same buy in.
