How to play Bounty Hunter tournaments on Sky Poker ???

Just like any other MTT, the only differance being that as the stacks get shallow players generally lower there all in calling range because of bounties. Benefits are if you have a prem hand then happy days, if you stealing bad news.

If you look at the "Latest Blog" section of the community (Right hand side) there is an excellent article by Eyeman on BH's titled Dreaming of ME"  Well worth a read.

well here is a perfect example of why you should play them like normal and not focus on the bountys, this was the last bounty hunter i was in

Perfect start and yet i hadnt taken a single bounty, there was 44 people in at the start of the tourney, everyone on the table was a low stacker, and i called a few all ins to try and win a bounty with hands like AJ, and lost to KQ (two pair), with a pocket pair losing to overcards hitting, i ended up getting knocked out in 14th place with no bountys on my head.

The moral here is dont start going for bountys they will come, and if your in good position definately dont start trying to take bountys with mediocre hands, if it works you shoot ahead of everyone, but on the flip side you can lose it all just as quick
