| A bounty tournament can take one of two forms. Either there is a second prize pool which is a bounty pool or not. If there is no bounty pool, all it means is that a player can put a price on the head of another player and he who takes that player out gets the money...that means that you could try to eliminate another strong player, by having other players gunning to knock him out. The kind of bounty tournament I have played works thusly: Everybody buys in for $40 to the prize pool and $10 to the bounties (or something like that). Each player then has two $5 bounties that he can assign (via ballot) before the tournament to other players. They are tallied and it becomes known how much each player is worth to kill off. Then on the hand that any player loses, his bounty goes to the winner of that hand in cash. What this does is reward action players and punish tournament grinders. It generally makes tournaments more actiony and fun. Something that makes a fun home game for pocket change really interesting. It is also a good way of evaluating your respect as most bounty money will go on the fishier players (though sometimes it also goes on the best players as a way of hampering them). Of course the winner keeps his own bounties too. A freezeout or shootout just means a tournament without the option of rebuying. Generally a shootout is a heads up freezeout. | ||

| I thought I read somewhere that a shoot out is a type of tournament like you see in the movie Maverick. You have x number of tables with y number of players at each table. Then each table is played down to one player and then the winners of all the tables go on to the final table (all having the same amount of money and thus and equal chance). Just something I thought I read one time. TK | ||

| That doesn't sound like an unreasonable way of using the terminology. Unfortunately words like this get thrown around, used, and misused so much that they can mean a number of things. The salient point is that shootouts and freezeouts are tourneys without rebuys. And to think that new players everywhere will be saying, "I win. I'm holding the absolute rocks!" after watching WPT. | ||

| Yeah, I hadn't heard it used much at all until I started playing at Brantford. EVERYONE there calls it a tight, and I guess I just started naturally following s00t. *shrug* | ||

| If I'm not mistaken, it comes from the idea of having a set that "tightens up" into a full house. I think that the lingo is more common in Canada than across the line. | ||
