    HI I have never played a bounty hunter but know how it works love PL08 and this sounds interesting BUT can sky make it clear in the lobby how exactly it works. I see Markycash post saying if someone goes out the high winner gets the head bounty but talking to someone in chat about it they said the person with the highest stack would get the pot ok so here is the question.  I win the low hand and have a higher stack than the other player, the other player wins the high hand and we take a player out so who gets the bounty? both of us? the high hand player, me because I have the high stack or it is split between both of us?/???

    In NLHE it is definitely the Highest stack, so this is indeed a very pertinent question.

    Only if the shorter stack did not have the person who was all-in covered. Stacks sizes don't have anything to do with it (apart from obviously you need enough chips to have the person covered). If it is a split pot then obviously there is no bounty, someone would have to be covered by another players stack and lose the entire pot.

    The player who has the guy covered and wins the high side of the pot would get the bounty. The player winning the low pot (you in this instance) would get the low half of the pot but no bounty.

    That is how it has worked in every BH PLO8 I have ever played at any rate.

    Yes, worth clearing up. In every BH PLO8 I know of it doesn't matter who has x, y or z stack size, as long as you 1: have the all in guy covered. 2: He loses the entire pot & 3: you have the best 'high hand'.

    As the BH's have been for NLHE only until now it would be worthwhile if someone can clarify if this is the case on Sky.

(Added to schedule for 9:15pm tonight £100 GTD) : I think you need to de-reg Marky.  You're alias is stopping players from regging. I thought you were studying psychology, you should know this. Maybe a late reg by you would be more apt. Hang on though, there's one lamb for the slaughter..

    I wouldn't worry, I see Hendo is registered so that should draw the crowds in :D



    P.S...


    (Joking Hendo & pretty sure you will now procede to stack me for that joke!)


    Also @Koko... I wouldn't overly worry, just do what you done last night and I am sure a few scalps will come your way :)

    I think his point is... 

    Player A goes all in with 4000 chips and AK
    Player B goes all in with 3000 chips and AK
    Player C goes all in with 2000 chips and QJ

    The board runs out QJTxx and the AK guys both chop the chips up, but the bounty does go to the guy with the bigger stack (player A), that's always been the case on Sky afaik, but of couse that's for NLHE.

    I'd imagine IF it is set up so that the bounty is won based on the high hand then that'd be the case regardless of stack size, and stack sizes would only come in to if 2 players had the same high hand, but I dunno, Sky need to confirm really

    I took it he meant...

    Player A (2200 chips) Player B (2300 chips) & Player C (1000 chips). All players go all in... Player A wins the High pot, Player B wins the low pot, Player C is busto... Who gets the bounty. In this case Player A & B chop the pot but Player A gets the bounty for the high hand (even though player B had a bigger stack).

    If 3 players are all in and one busts his stack and the other 2 have the same high hand, normally I though the bounty would just be split.

    We think the bounty will go to the player with the biggest stack. You cannot split a bounty. Let us know how it plays out! Cheers

      I would give this a shot. Would prefer a £5.50 rebuy TBH, but suppose that will never happen.

    only  back on  here  because  of  the  plo8  games,  as above would  of  preffered  a fiver  rebuy  which would suit  every 1s bankroll, and guarantee  more  runners.

    will  most likely  have a bash  tho  
    good work  and gl all

    Your average spend for a £5 rebuy is almost certainly at least the same if not more than an £11 bh

    Guys,

    Sky James wrote "I think the bounty goes to (etc)...." which kinda suggests he does not really know for sure.

    My suggestion if this might cause some to be exercised - & I can understand why that may be the case - would be to give it a miss tonight, sit it out & watch, or wait & see what others say.
     
    Then, if you are OK with it, play it on future nights.
     
    It's been put on at short notice, so let's see how it goes.

    If you play it, gl & enjoy.

    Regarding any uncertainty about bounties... It won't take many pots to figure who gets it and what decides it. It will be the same playing field for all so whatever it turns out to be is fine by me. Just happy to see the extra MTT added :)

    ^^^^

    Yes, that echoes my thoughts.

    But if anyone is worried about it, please give tonight a miss until you can better see the lie of the land.

    Not tonight Mark, I have company for the weekend, arriving in an hour or two, so not much poker for me until Sunday evening. 
     
    Personally - & I know I'm an oddbod - a PLO8 BH makes no sense to me, PLO8 does not need "revving up" imo, but folks love BH's, so it may well attract many NLH BH players, which can't be a bad thing.
     
    I may give it a go a few nights just to get a feel of it though.

    your so right, NL08 makes some sense. PL08 already has players calling all over the place chasing, add Bounties and every pot will be like 5 way!-the splits dont really make any sense either!
