Strategy in Bounty tournaments

[BillHicks]

It seems a lot of sites are doing bounty tournaments around christmas- any one have any thoughts about playing strategy. My thought was that in one way one wants to keep an eye on the bounties and keep a stack covering them , while in another it maybe important just to stay alive in case the bounty becomes crippled giving you a chace to take them out. I saw one amazing tournment last year when the bounty was huge - a 4000 dollar tourney package - and got to the last 3, the firstprize was only a relatively small 1000 or so . The one player in this pushed most hands so if the bounty was playing he was definitelyall in. I am not sure ifthis strategy was correct as he risked losing a lot of chipsto the other non bounty competiitor. any thoughts on the strategy in that situation where the main aim is to take out the bounty when the bounty's size is huge in comparison with the tourney prize?

Re: Strategy in Bounty tournaments I'm not fanatical about these types of events as the dynamics are so totally changed from a normal MTT and people tend to move all-in vs the bounty knowing they have at worst a 19% shot at winning. You have to be very situationally aware.
