anyway how should u adjust to this?

1. Don't donk off all your chips trying too hard to knock people out.

2. However, when facing an allin from a shorter stack, understand how the bounty affects your pot odds. In a 4+1+0.5 tournament with 1500 starting stacks, a bounty is worth about 300 chips (because the bounty pool is 1/5 of the total prize pool). So for example if blinds are 10/20, you're in the BB, it folds around to SB who goes allin for 150 chips, you should obv be calling with 32o.

3. Expect to get called more when going all in against a bigger stack. Expect the field to contain bad players who will ignore (1).

4. The deeper you get in the tournament, the less relevant the bounties become.

5. Don't donk off all your chips trying too hard to knock people out.

6. Don't donk off all your chips trying too hard to knock people out.

These things r the [censored]! I love how the average field size for these is almost double the same buyin standard FO. I still dont know how i feel about the whole bounty thing but w/e

i've played a lot of the headhunters on crypto which are similar but significantly different

in the headhunters the entry fee is split half and half between knockouts and standard payouts - in a $20 mtt $10 goes in the prize pool and $10 (+/- a bit depending on leaderboard points) goes on your head.

when you knock someone out you only get 75% of their head value, the other 25% adds to the value of your head

head values are displayed next to chip stacks and late on you see some big heads, which severely disrupt the play if they become short stacked

payout is flatter, but i believe that in these and the ftp knockouts a good player can do very well by adjusting correctly because most are getting it wrong ^^^^

and yeah 10,001 > 10,000

Really enjoyed the one I got the play; found it incredibly easy to

a.) build a monster stack punishing slightly larger stacks who called because they wanted to bust me.

b.) Lower my variance because I got cold decked in the face by a monster stack but still got a chance to bust some donks.
