Today, we're playing the 5/5/10 NL Bounty game at The Gardens Casino, in Hawaiian Gardens, CA. This game is absolutely bonkers, in my opinion, the wildest public game in LA. The premise is this: if any player wins consecutive hands in a row, every other player must pay them $25. Because of this, people go crazy, and do the most insane things. So, enjoy the video!
00:00 Intro
0:35 58 of Spades UTG+2 (Bomb Pot)
2:05 68o in the Big Blind (Bounty)
3:15 KQo on the Button
4:32 JJ in the Cutoff
5:42 ATo in the Hijack
6:03 Q9 of Hearts in the Small Blind
7:06 44 on the Button
7:18 K7o in the Cutoff (Bounty)
7:40 K9o in the Hijack (Bounty)
9:06 33 Under the Gun
10:17 TT in the Straddle (Bounty)
11:40 77 in the Big Blind
13:21 KK Under the Gun
14:39 AKo in the Small Blind
15:19 A4o on the Button (Bounty)
17:36 Outro & Results

Hey fan of your blogs, I'm metal mario on global poker. I went and played the bounty game for the first time last night after the tournament and I agree with your take on this game, crazy action but huge variance and can definitely throw you off your game, it definitely feels very unique in gameplay and strategy to your average cash game.

I could tell you what you already know that you tilted off money you didn't need to and if you do that when you're trying to play for a living you might as well go get a job instead.. Remember this what separates decent app he said average players from great players is the ability to never tilt and have emotional control I've been running bad for 2 weeks I've made a mistake here and there which only compounds it I'm not perfect either but the less we tilt the better off your numbers will be in the long run you can't force the game you have to let it come to you That last hand you played was horrendous you shouldn't even be in the hand really
