Bounty Hunters - Encouraging poor play?

pompeyred

I mainly play DYM sit and go's however iv seen the BH on 865, railed a couple and played a couple this weekend........ 

does the "bounty" aspect encourage poor play and porr calls on pretty much every street? is the tourny a bit of fun and should i treat it as such or is there cash to be made by playing ABC and getting it in ahead more than 50% of the time???

the only tournament i have won on sky is a bounty hunter and tend to either leave quite early or do very well, I think for the first hour of a bounty hunter there is alot of poor play so i recomend you try to use it to your advantage, whenever you feel as if your ahead bet very strongly as alot of players will risk it all on top pair or even PP when there are 3 or 4 over cards. Then after the hour play your normal game IMO.

Not necessarily POOR play, just a different tactic and perspective on hands. On numerous times I have 3bet shoved with hands like 10,3 o/s just because there is an all in from a short stack. Remember in poker your never far behind preflop. 7,2 vs AK is still only around 40/60. Use controlled aggression, common sense and a bit of gamble and you can't go wrong.
