Further to my last post on Bounty Hunters generally, wanted to refine that a little for Mystery Bounty Hunters.

IMHO it is vital to keep a note of the "big" mystery bounties. Because it is normally the case that 2 (or at most 3) bounties are way, way bigger than the others. As a result, checking whether those 2/3 have already gone is vital when working out when to shove or call.

Again, thoughts welcome.

Most of the push/fold charts out there take account of the numbers of people sat at the table, numbers of Big Blinds and antes.

But the games are very different from the standard freezeout games of a few years ago. The size of Bounties (both of you and villain) must be a major factor.

My initial thoughts are that if you are short, people will call lighter than they used to-much lighter. To my mind, that means more shoving with strength, and tightening up a little (only a little) on shoving light.

Thoughts welcome

OUT

No luck today.

Couple of defends from the BB, which missed, and so down to on 9.5k

Open J8o BUT

T82r looks good, he check calls

T823, he checks, I bet 4k of 5k, and he's all in

He has for the bad news,  and we miss the river.

T823K

Nothing more today. In at 12pm for the 1k PLO (possibly followed by the $1.5k razz) tomorrow

No good

Down to 12k

Moved to new table. Surprising amount of randomness going on.

UTG is clearly way loose, looking to get his last 20k in. Has VPIPped last 3 with trash.

Raises UTG (what turns out to be )

I 3bet from BUT

Big blind 4bets, both call.

for a big flop

Big blind bets, UTG enthusiastically raises. Good spot to hope for something like getting the BB to fold black AJ/AK, and UTG to call K high with K of hearts. I 3bet, BB does fold, but UTG 4bets



Bet and call

.

UTG bets. Of course have to call getting 8.5 to 1. Feels like I may well be good, but he does indeed have



Down to 12k

Run AJ into Isildur AQ on

K87cc

Can't escape, one bet each street

29k

44k

Just ten levels today, slightly strange, so another early ish 1030pm finish

Awful 20 mins

Raise JJ SB vs Mckeehen bB

K88. Bet, call

K885 ss

Check call

K885Q

Check, he bets. Ugly but just about have to call

Far swingier start then you would expect in limit holdem!
