Bounty Hunters, Split pot, But other guy gets the head

The_Don90

Example hand below.

Shouldnt the head prizes in this situation also be split. As because i was BB i didnt get any part of the head.

Kind of annoying.

NOT TRUE I HAD BIGGER STACK ONCE, DID THE SAME AS DON, CHECK DOWN BUT PLAYER WITH LESSER STACK GOT HEAD BECAUSE HE WAS FIRST TO ACT

You prob didn't have him covered if that was the case.

I can categorically state that the player with the bigger chip stack at the start of the hand gets the bounty, it is the same rule that is used if there is an odd chip in a split pot and this rule is also used in live poker events.

Incorrect.  The odd chip goes to the player closest to the button.

Also incorrect ;-). The split chip goes to the player out of position (technically the person closest to the button is ON the button) its because its harder to win the hand OOP so they get rewarded by an extra 0.5 of a chip... WP Sir

Sigh.  OK, I should have clarified: the player closest to the LEFT of the button.  Happy now, Charles?

It's already been said by THREE people!  Biggest stack gets the bounty.

MAXALLY

So....1st hand, all in situation ??

I am led to believe it is the smaller BR player that loses out but I could be wrong

From my experience of Bounty Hunters playing on Sky,
Biggest stack only gets the bounty if they go all-in, unmatched bet return,
they don't even have to win the hand, only beat the shortie with a made hand.
If the big stack just calls to cover the all-ins, the first to act gets bounty.
So if your the big stack, always shove, don't just call or you'll lose the bounty.
