    I found these to be unbeatable, with the bounty being half the buy-in. What do you think?

    Against a random opponent I would definitely fold because I think at these stakes players are pretty passive, and you're crushed a ton against their range (I would guess 22+,A2+,KJ+ at the loosest for a random player). Against Tarheel (knowledgeable player) I would also fold. We need ~45% equity to call, and after checking Pokerstove, he would have to be shoving more than 35% (55+,A2s+,K4s+,Q6s+,J7s+,T8s+,98s,A5o+,K8o+,Q9o+,J9o+,T9o) in order to make it a call. While I do think he's shoving any pair, he's very likely not shoving most of the other hands listed, making it a clear fold imo. A2o is pretty overrated, by comparison if we have A2s instead, he only needs to be shoving 23% of hands (55+,A2s+,K4s+,Q6s+,J7s+,T8s+,98s,A5o+,K8o+,Q9o+,J9o+,T9o) to make it a +EV call, which is a lot closer but still a fold imo.

    @Madshakes I think people are so clueless in terms of how to play with bounties, that it has to be profitable. There is very little info out there about these, and even after playing them for a few hours I feel like I still have a lot to learn. There are situations that come up that are completely counter-intuitive to everything I've learned playing SNGs, because the bounty is so huge. Being the chipleader on the bubble is amazingly an even bigger advantage than it already is in a normal SNG, which means when you do get called while shoving 100% of hands as a dominant chipleader, it's even more -EV for them (and way more +EV for you).
