Hello peeps, I've been thinking this over for the past few weeks for a structure that fits a bounty tourney.
I'm setting the buy in at 30 (20 to prize pool and 10 to bounty). I have 2 sets of chips for both cash and tournament so along with the starting stack I will give them TWO $5 chips. Apparently, my friend told me that if you knock someone out, you pocket half of their bounty (one $5 chip), and add their other $5 to your own bounty. But what happens when you knock out another person with a $15 bounty? Would that require breaking up of their cash chips using $1s?
So my questions are:
1. Is this bounty concept valid or is it making sense?
2. What should the starting stack and blinds structure be for a tourney lasting 3-4 hours? (I wouldn't mind if people kept rebuying, in fact I would want to implicitly encourage it since I have a splurgy group of friends) My current blind structure for a normal tourney is pretty much a very standard one, based off of Christopher M's video on youtube.
3. Does anyone have thoughts about the 20:10 prize pool to bounty split ratio? Would there be any upside to have a 50/50 split or otherwise?
