Apparently, bounty hunter tournaments are very popular here, why do you think this is?

    They are good fun and I play them sometimes to release the inner donk!

    I once was rather angry so i played a 1.5K bounty hunter and took it down for about 400 quid! Just by playing really loose and by sucking out on everyone!

    Oynutter, there is a much better choice of tournaments on here than there used to be and better structures. I think its unfair to say there are just BH and nothing else, in fact that is utter nonsense imo!

    Yeah I quite enjoy playing the odd on here and there.

    I think most people play them as they see it as an easier way to try and win a bit more cash.

    They're a fun format, the bounty element makes for some interesting play, they attract quite a lot of players with 'questionable' poker skills who make very loose calls chasing bountys. Once you've worked out a good strategy they're easy to beat despite the 15% rake on the lower buy-ins.

    This is the main reason why I like them;

     I never said that that Greg, I suggested that one reason people play them is because they are often the only tournie availiable for them to play-- this is true, as the poll results currently appear to indicate, they are in fact the only tournies running all night.

    You defo have a point about the nightowl schedule! But im not sure if many people want to play mtts at those times anyway?? As the site grows more and more they might obv.

    With regard to other peak times. there are loads of non bounty hunter tourneys, ok maybe there could be a couple more standard nlhe, but the BH's wont be removed/reduced as they are far too popular!!!

    Because most of the players who play these tourneys are chancers and fish, of course these are just my thoughts on the matter .

    must admit i play most bounty hunters

    there good as you can win without winning

    i dont play the low buy in ones

    i play the larger buy ins and there good tournys with good players in them

    i agree bounty hunters should not dominate any site

    nor should deepstacks rebuys our speed

    an equal spread of buyins and differant tournys makes a great site to play on

    just my opion

    I agree.

    I learnt how to play live in fast freezeout structures so when comming to sky bounty hunters meant very similar structure and pretty similar standard of play.

    I partly blame them for me being as loose now, but thats for me too look at myself. People obviously chase heads and i was learning still so i done the same. Id say i made money but in honesty i think i broke about even.

    Back then it was bounty hunters or well bounty hunters. As i often prefer to play at night if i want a diff kinda game i have to play on stars, although infairness i think ive only ever got one of these bounty hunters to run at night.

    I wounder why?

    Sky i dont mean to sound harsh ive came up with ideas in the past that seemed 50/50 for wanting and not. But we need something between 00.15 and 2.20 for non-bounty hunter players.

    Having said that i do love a good bounty hunter if its 5.50 or above.

    I see what you mean now about the off peak times oynutter. Im sure sky will have a look at the schedule and hopefully add a few more freezeouts/deepstacks....

    When i was making my comments, i was concentrating on the times i play (5pm-1am) and there is plenty of choice at those times.

    Good luck
