Bounty tournaments

[budaloto]

How you play at bounty tournaments, when your stacks its not adjust proper. (call with low PPs, but throw hand if someone raise after you)
For example you have bounty on your head as full buy in, but your stacks is low then 20bb and other players has x2 of your stacks.

You reduce bluffing but bet or shove more thinly for value, since you expect to get called wider.

hello, can you adjust range for shove, and one more question, if we have ante and our stack is melting away, and we recieve trash hands over and over, shove for luck or there is another strategy?

Don't be afraid to shove with a strong hand, there will always be a worse call to try to get your bounty.

There is no such thing as "our stack is melting away". There is only "it folds to me in HJ, and I am 8BB effective with the players behind, so this is the range, where jamming is more profitable than folding". And if your hand falls outside that range, then you fold it. It does not matter, how you got to have a 8BB stack. Maybe you were card and situation dead for the last several orbits, and your stack slowly dwindled away. Or maybe you had 30BB until the very last hand, but then you ran AK into TT and lost a "flip" to someone with 22BB.

But regardless, which one it was, your decisions for the rest of the tournament should be exactly the same. There is no such thing as "having to do something", because you have been card dead. If you continue to be card dead and have to fold, then eventually your stack will get so short, that its correct to get it in with any two cards from the big blind. And then of course you do this. But not before its correct. A tournament should be played hand for hand.

I likely don't play them the ideal way I know that because I have never studied Bounty 's or PKO's. I don't play them much different then a normal MTT specially bounty MTT's cause they typically don't start paying any bounties till you make the money anyways. PKO I'll loosen up a bit but I still think I'm rather tight compared to the better bounty and PKO players.

Cheers!!!

If i understood right, in sertain point of game and stack size about 10BB, there it's no time to wait a "big" hand, and we must play aggrecive or ther will be no room to chose the moment?
What i mean by that, it's jam in any position with wider range. Or i completely wrong.

Yes ranges widen with a shorter stack but are not “any two” from any seat with 8BB.

These are the tournaments that I like the most

In bounty tournaments, when my stack does not exceed 20 BB, I will only play with a strong hand or raise in the hope that I will go all-in, or go all-in myself if I have already raised. It will be dangerous to enter the multipot with a strong hand before the flop.
