Bounty Hunter :(

is it just me or is there anyone else that doesnt like bounty hunters? the way i play is to extract the most chips i can from every hand im involved in. when i win a pot i mabey take like half there stack but then the next hand or two someone else takes there chips and the bounty but is rather annoying. ive tryed playing differnt but it usualy involves me playing weaker hands to try and hit to take more bountys and thats just not my game so i tend to miss all the big bounty hunters. anyone else feel the same?

    if you dont like 'em dont play 'em.
    i dont mind them but prefer freezeouts,but i think you have more or less the right strategy for bh.they are obviously a different game to fo so you sometimes need to play a lot looser,

    I find in the bounty hunters people will call all-ins with alot wider range, if they have more chips than u to try win ur bounty. It can be annoying when you get bust by K2off but it happens, i try not get all in preflop if i can avoid it.
    I think they are good tournaments but i find i often go deep without collecting many bounty's.

    The £2 and £5 Bounty Hunters are the softest tournaments on the site IMO, so I like them a lot.

    Just play them as a freeze-out, ie ignore the bountys, you will have a big advantage. Most of the field take crazy risks trying to take heads, they don't seem to realise the bubble prizes are worth much more than the bountys. A tight approach is best. The tournament winner always wins the most money, even if he/she only takes only head. I think I make around 50% ROI in Bounty Hunters playing that way (a Sharkscope subscriber will be able to look up my exact ROI).
