$330 bounty hand
$330 bounty tournament at Deerfoot today. Bounties are $100.
$10k starting and blinds are 100/200. My starting table seems strangely strong. We've played together for an hour but haven't seen many hands because our dealer is terrible.
Button: A middle aged guy who flew in from Vancouver. Seems like he plays for a living. Just got sucked out on for a big pot the hand before and he's down to 1700 or so. Seems like a solid TAG.
SB: Young-ish guy. Plays somewhat LAG-ish and seems solid too. He's up to 13-14k or so.
BB: Me. Probably have a fairly tight image at this point. More or less blinded down to 7.5k.
It folds around to button who ships. SB thinks for a second and re-ships. What should my calling range be against two decent players? I'm assuming button is pretty wide and SB's is wider than in a normal tournament because of the fairly large bounty. Not sure what I should be calling off with. Someone better than me please tell me.

Your analysis of the button and small blind is exactly what I would be thinking.
Not sure if that's better than usual. This was my first time playing here in like 5 or 6 years.
After I typed it, I I realized that I am not folding AJos.
If you're the SB, is anyone iso-ing wider than this? I was initially thinking I would do it with as weak as 67 suited for a chance at the $100 bounty since dipping to 12k from 14k isn't that big of a deal.
Depends on what I think of the BB and what my image is at the time, but in some cases I think a much wider isolation is correct.
So yeah, AT was probably the very bottom of my range and I ended up calling off with it. I did not win the hand.
This was my exactly my range, but add ATo
Button ships for 1700. BB min-raises to 3200. I ship for 7500.
You'd be calling 4500 for a pot of 8100, a chance to pick up two bounties and still have like 30bb if you lost. I don't think you could ever fold there, could you?
I love bounty tourneys, but Party is the only room in the world that I know of that a short stack can win the bounty of a bigger stack. :bs: For example, if 3 players are all-in, you with a million chips have a better hand than the mid stack so you bust him & win the side pot, micro stack with one chip has the best hand so he wins 3 chips, but instead of giving the bounty to you since you have mid-stack covered, Party gives the bounty to Mr. One Chip even though it is impossible for him to bust anybody. :rolleyes:
