Ideas for bounty tournaments with more targeted gameplay.
Start with 2x bounty but lower placing payouts.
Display player bounties on their tag at the table.
When you win a bounty, you bank half and half is added to your own.
Place 1st and keep your own bounty.
I think a structure like this would create a far more hunting style game, if you could see a players knockout value increasing it would make for a more attractive targets rather than just aiming for the lowest stacks, it may just be me but I often forget I’m even playing a bounty mtt unless I happen to see it in the chat and then once you’ve knocked out 5 players, you’re on a freeroll, it kinda gets forgotten about altogether. It would bring different possible strategies too, players could perhaps use their bounty level as a way to either attract more or less attention etc. and the final table shootout would be all the more worth it.
I’ve never noticed a correlation between bounties and all-in shoves especially in the Bust the Staff tourneys. And, I’ve been playing them ever since I’ve been on here.
Why do you think Replay Poker call’s the tournament “ Bust the Staff “ ? You bust a staff member and collect a huge bounty. The best way this I’d done is trapping them by going “all in “ . Since the bounties are huge now participation has doubled and so has the “ All ins “. I’m surprised you can’t see that.
