They tend to play looser because they reward aggressive play, they\u2019re available in a wide range of buy-ins, and they make it possible to win cold, hard cash without having to reach the money places of the tournament.<\/p>\n<h2>Big Bounty Hunter Key Facts<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Buy-ins from $1.10 to $215<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>No rake charged on the bounty element, making our bounties bigger<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Lower overall rake<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Limited re-entries for a purer poker experience<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Available in NLHE, PLO, and PLO8 formats<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What Is a Big Bounty Hunter Tournament and How Do They Work?<\/h2>\n<p>Big Bounty Hunter is the name we\u2019ve given to <strong>a massive selection of our PKO tournaments<\/strong> that run throughout the day, every day. Check the partypoker lobby now and you\u2019ll find dozens of Big Bounty Hunters waiting for you to buy-in.<\/p>\n<p>Now\u2019s the time to listen if you\u2019ve never played a Big Bounty Hunter tournament before. These tournaments come with <strong>buy-ins starting as low as only $1.10<\/strong> and increasing all the way to $215. The prize pool is split in two: half goes to the main prize pool and the remaining 50% goes onto the head of each entrant.<\/p>\n<p>The main prize pool is distributed like in a traditional poker tournament. Reach the money places, determined by the number of entrants, to win a share of this cash. You\u2019ll notice first and second-place are almost identical. We do this because the bounty payments, more on those very soon, grow large when you get to the heads-up stage. The one-on-one battle is essentially a fight for the remaining bounties, which are often larger than the first-place prize!<\/p>\n<h2>How Do The Big Bounty Hunter Bounties Work?<\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s talk you through an example to show how the Big Bounty Hunter bounties work.<\/p>\n<p>Jumping into one of the <strong>$22 buy-in Big Bounty Hunters<\/strong> sees $10 go into the main prize pool, $11 into the bounty prize pool, and $1 is retained by us as the tournament fee. You\u2019ll notice two things here that separate our PKO tournaments from the opposition.<\/p>\n<p>First, more of the buy-in from our Big Bounty Hunters goes into the bounty prize pool. Second, we don\u2019t charge rake on the bounty element of the buy-in so <strong>our overall rake is significantly lower<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The $11 earmarked for the bounty prize pool goes onto the head of every player who buys in. Bust an opponent and you<strong> instantly win 50% of their bounty<\/strong> and the remaining 50% goes onto your own head.<\/p>\n<p>In our example, if you bust someone early in a $22 Big Bounty Hunter, you\u2019d instantly win $5.50 and the other $5.50 would go onto your head, making your own bounty $16.50. If someone busted you at this point, they\u2019d instantly win $8.25 and $8.25 would go onto their bounty.<\/p>\n<p>Go all the way and take down the tournament and you get your hands on the total value of the bounty on your own head in addition to the prize money.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, you only need to eliminate a handful of opponents to be freerolling your way towards a share of the main prize pool.<\/p>\n<h2>When Can You Play a Big Bounty Hunter?<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s probably easier to list when you can\u2019t play a Big Bounty Hunter because there is so much choice on the current schedule.
