Does anyone know an online site that offers a bounty tourney?

I played in one at the Orleans Casino in Las Vegas a few months ago and am interested in finding one online. For those of you who maybe do not know, a bounty Tourney is one where the top players win prize money (like a regular tourney) but you also get paid when you knock another person out.

So at the Orleans tourney, you got $5 for each person you knock out. This fits my game better because I tend to take a little more risk and knock people out. Others seem to limp along and make money on my actions.

I know this might necesitate a large programming effort to the standard Hold'em game, but in my opinion, it would be well worth the effort.

So the question is do they exist out there in an online format? Has anyone played in one online? What was the experience like?

I was once in an online tournament... And the ammoutn of people in the tourny itself was huge, but there was a bounty on one guys head. So i decided to screw the paycut and just gun for him. I taunted him in the chat a few times, got him nice and tilted... PUshed all in EVERY TIME he was big blind. And this guy was playing CONSERVATIVE as hell. He would rarely even see a flop, and when he would, i'd jump on him like a hound.. so eventually.....

what do you know! the one time he calls me i was holding monsters and shut him down. He gave me his email, nice guy and sent a check to my house.

Only experience i had with a bounty and i liked it

I think that most of the sites have or have had some bounty tournaments. most of the sites I have played at had them so the only thing you can do is look for them. but I dont think that none of them have it all the time so you must look for them pretty often. I dont know any one right now but Iif I do I will tell you.

I noticed after I wrote this, in responding to another post that DoylesRoom is going to have a bounty tourney coming up in the near future. I will be watching that site for more info on the event.

It seems though that the bounty is only on a few people's heads, not on everyone. In this case I think it is on some selected pro's head.

It would be great if they could duplicate the effect of the Orleans tourney and have a $5 bounty on every entrants head.

In the one where you got paid, was the bounty through the site? Or was it some kind of challenge offered by some individual player who payed you directly?

Jet set poker has bounty tourneys daily from $5 up. $5 3 times a day. the catch is there is a .75 buy in fee instead of the norm .50
