Now the bounties have dropped they seem pointless and considering they are not realistic to the game I think you should get rid of them. The hand count and teams are a better theme. Also there is a glitch with joining tourneys, when you come online you have to refresh to join and when you join you have to refresh to show your true balance of chips. Small but annoying.

I agree with Maddie. I was hoping it would increase action on the regular/cash tables but I haven't noticed a difference. Still pretty dead at least in my time zone.

Maddie,
I disagree with you and am sure a lot of the others will also.

Have you noticed since the bounties dropped that people aren't playing heads up and checking it down to get the bounty? You and Kruger done this quite often even if its not against the rules (not a dig at you both either). Also it has stopped people going all in or calling all in's with 67, 85 or 89 hoping to Gpokr people to win the 100k or 200k bounty.

The bounties is a great idea introduced by Ryan but promotes bad play when the reward is so high.

Look how close the leaderboard is, last month we all had 3 or 4 million chips in the top 10 after 10 days.
Now you have to earn your chips it separates the bad players from good players.
I will use Tasha as an example, look at her tourney results for March. She is 5th and deserves to be, last month she would of been 26th with 1.1mil due to the bounty rewards.
Look at the players who had chips last month when bounties were ridiculous to people who have chips now?? We all know the players that call with shit to see the river.
As i said last month we was doing 50k and 100k bets between 4 or 5 people and checking it down for fun.

Papa - he even stopped calling the 14k or 16k bets with 34 or 67 or 89.
Suo - stopped all inning preflop and trying to get a double up playing poker not bingo.
Jjab and many more join the tables, lose there chips with pathetic calls and then it takes them 3 days to rebuild.
Labtov even stopped wasting his playable hands instead of all in with AQ, AJ or Ak as he not getting a 200k bounty for his bingo all in if he gets called by 99 or 1010 and wins the flip(no offence intended to Lab either as he a nice guy) he now playing them trying to earn chips instead of winning the blinds.

The lower bounties are making this site a better poker site.
if you want a bigger bounty Ryan could create a reward for the person with the most table bounties each week, this way the reward is for the most consistent players and someone who sits all in then leaves until the bounty refresh's.

I agree with Maddie and Pat. I think Maddie is saying get rid of it and Pat is saying don't go back to higher bounties so people don't abuse it. Both good points so I'm fine either way. Don't think it really has an impact anymore now that the amounts are so small.
