Poker Video 30 Home Poker Tutorial BOUNTY TOURNAMENTS

[@eddiecasp5175]

Hey chris, do you reckon you would ever film one of your poker tournaments and give us a bit of a look into one of your game nights? i'm quite interested to see how smoothly they run.

[@chrismanzoni3586]

Have considered this for a LONG time - The problem is that I have more than a few players who really don't want to be on youtube in any way shape or form - if I ever have a night where none of them are present, I may be able to give this idea a try.

[@e.travelman]

Yes! This is what I have been waiting for. God bless you!

Glad to see you back. It's funny we just had a tournament today....I did great. Flipped up quad 9's & then quad jacks. Had a great day. Good luck at the series. Don't shoot yourself.... Lol

[@danielramos2092]

Love your videos your the only one on.youtube making this type of informational content. Thank you so much.

[@scottcoombe9979]

Ty for your videos. I built my first poker table and am hosting my first garage tourney next weekend. Thank you for your video about starting stacks and blinds. I am going to use this structure next weekend. I am confident everything will go better using your experienced advice. Cheers bro!

Mann, this is the best channel about home games. We want more video's!!

Well happy Birthday 🥳 and Good luck at the WSOP

[@MrAntonGunnarsson]

Before i even watch this I got to say: FINALLY ANOTHER VIDEO!!! We all love your videos Chris! Keep doin what you are doin!

[@jpmccolgan4772]

I run an online (lockdown) poker game between about 30/40 friends and family . The app of course does all this for me , I'd no idea how complicated a live game would be . I'll probably never run one but find your content so informative and entertaining none the less. Thank you .

[@tadasjasinavicius2328]

You give us a little taste of mixed games and then you are gone for 5 months... :) Glad you are back and your home game still going. Nice video, nice bounty chips. Thank you for your tutorials. I think in a home tournament bounty is a must. As you have said before, most of the people go home empty handed so at least they can take some money back. Good luck :)

[@joshlonon2614]

Always enjoy the video uploads!

[@tonypatti3395]

I see a lot of nice poker tables in your space. Will you/Do you have a video on poker tables?

[@Serj1903]

Nice! Finally new video! 🙏

[@KGeegs]

Did I miss the video where you talk about your payout structure for the $40 buy-in tournaments you hold? Always been curious!

[@leomartin5331]

Thank you Chris ! Exactly the video I needed !!

[@kevinberg4623]

I was wondering if you could make a video of setting up a game with friends for new players who want to setup a first tournament with friends like what chip stack you should use when using low stakes and high stakes when to up the blinds some rules etc would love to see that myself im trying to setup tournaments for my friends also was wondering how you do it with cashgames to cash out if i play with just 6 friends when can you cashout

[@TheZapados]

It seems like bounty tournaments make more sense the bigger the tournament. You mentioned the most someone ever got was 10, assuming for ~30 people. But a lot of STTs it seems like 1 player will bust 7 of the 9 in it! So it turns into a way to just pay the winner more, where as I'm more interested in spreading more money around so people are more incentivized to come back. Thoughts?

[@giusepperaccuglia231]

Just when I least expected it. Thanks for your service lol

[@daniekvalentijn1075]

love your vids. would be great to see more vids!! keep up the good work!

[@MeridianFC]

I’ve been playing since the late 1990s and I still find your videos very useful. I’m on PCF too (what’s your user name there? I’m MeridianFC). I know this video is from last year and you’ve probably had them forever but where did you get your octagon tables? I have one that I’ve had for a decade but I can’t find them anywhere anymore and was wanting to get another.

[@stephenjones994]

LET’S GOOO!!! Been too long!

[@Jmmy-gt5eu]

Your videos are the best Bro. Keep up the good work, please.

[@garydeperio8630]

Cool ! I play bounties as well but I don’t have those cool bounty chips! Where you get those or did you buy those? I usually tell players that the 5 or 10 or 20 bounty is actual cash and when a player goes all in; he puts the actual cash in play ! It helps intensify the action of eliminating a player ! Seeing actual cash ! But I would like to get those bounty all in buttons

[@chrismanzoni3586]

They are custom designed buttons by BrProPoker.com

[@arniskrumins]

great video - keep it up!

[@josephmann3520]

Hey Chris, How do you handle a 3 way pot where the two winners split to take out the 3rd player?

[@Trephining]

uber pot

[@lukasjohnson6802]

I'm working a bounty chip into low stakes home games as a way to make sure that all players have something to play for, even inexperienced ones. The way I decided to do it was everyone brings something with 5 dollars cash value on top of their chip buy in. That could include a bomber of beer, pound of bacon, a batch of homemade cookies, etc. Those go into a white elephant pot and each player gets to pick an item when they eliminate a player. We decided to make the bounty chips non transferable so that one person is less likely to end up with them all as the game progresses. These bounties are only for the first buy in so there's no need for players to bring multiple items.

[@minzertm]

Question: Players that rebuy don’t get a new bounty chip? Thanks for this video! Bounties at my home games is next on my list, so this is perfect!

[@chrismanzoni3586]

Players that re-enter in my home game do indeed get another bounty chip! $45 for 20K in tournament chips plus a fresh bounty chip.

[@minzertm]

@@chrismanzoni3586 Thank you for the clarification! Appreciate all that you do.

[@kevinberg4623]

I want to fill my first 500 case i was wondering what should i buy so im set to play poker blackjack etc i was thinking of buying 5 25 100 500 1000 5000 denomination i saw the video on tournament stack i was thinking of 100-5 100-25 100-100 75-500 75-1000 50-5000 Let me know if this is a good choice to buy as a first set im buying the 5 so we can play blackjack

[@chrismanzoni3586]

Using a 5 denomination for tournaments is a bit of a challenge but I know it can be done. Never tried it myself. I would also strive to keep a cash and tournament set separate. Your breakdown seems like a good one for a single table tournament with either 5K or 10K starting stacks.

[@kevinberg4623]

@@chrismanzoni3586 what chips breakdown would you recommend for quick games with denominations 25 100 500 1000 my friends dont like to play for 2 hours

[@chrismanzoni3586]

I haven't played a less than 2 hour tournament in many years, so take that into consideration. Maybe try 5K starting stacks and one re-entry.

[@chrismanzoni3586]

Breakdown would be T25 - x8, T100 - x8, T500 - x2, T1000 - x3

[@kevinberg4623]

@@chrismanzoni3586 thank you for your info and help i think its a good stack im gonna consider that or use the wsop stack T25x8 T100x8 T500x4 T1000x7

[@ravener96]

i have never hosted a tournament,but i want to and i think i have enough chips to, but there is one thing i dont quite get. how do the players have enough of the small denominations to keep playing? do they just exchange between themselves continously? im sorry if this is a really basic question i just havent seen the procedure mentioned

[@chrismanzoni3586]

Good question if you don’t know! Players typically make change among themselves using the bigger chips. I have mentioned in other videos, my breakdown uses less small denominations, but a lot of people advocate for more chips on the table such as x12 T25s and T100s as opposed to x8

[@ravener96]

@@chrismanzoni3586 thanks a lot. even the dumb questions need asking sometimes.

[@alyssaklem8626]

Chris! Been watching some of your videos. I am hosting a 6-8 week Holdem tournament this winter. I have never hosted one before but I have played in one and I have some specific questions for you. Is there a way to directly message you?

[@beeshmar3593]

Keep up the vids! Want to see that vid on mixed games. GL at the WSOP! Are you playing in the main event?

[@charliecaltagarone9234]

Question??? How do you determine the person that gets the bounty chip when 3 people go all in and the pot is chopped between 2? I seen where some places split ( that's what we do) and some places give it to the highest stack at the beginning of the hand. Just curious. Thanks for the videos

[@chrismanzoni3586]

We don’t split bounties, the bigger stack takes it in the event of a chop.

[@charliecaltagarone9234]

@@chrismanzoni3586 thank you. I am trying to get a game going with your "perfect" starting stack at the place I play and help run. Hopefully I will be able to get it in for people to try. Sometimes it's hard to get people to accept a change.

[@dwaynejp]

Ok...I'll ask..I would love to have those bounty chips for our game...any chances of sharing the jpegs?

[@sleeve1259]

I was wondering if a bounty only payout tourney is a possibility??? Let me know what you think. Meaning all $ would only be paid out in bounties....

[@chrismanzoni3586]

It’s absolutely possible, I have played it online with friends. Not my favorite, if you’re not a player who busts a lot of people it’s probably not very profitable.

[@TROGDOR1009]

It’s called “total bounty” or “full bounty”. I took 2nd one time in a total bounty mtt and had no knockouts so $0 payout for 2nd place. Not good!

[@SortOfEggish]

Perfect!

[@tadejmocnik5924]

Hi! I am thinking about runing home game tournaments and I am wondering if you have any preffered app for blinds? Or any option how to track blinds? And thank you for the videos. They are very helpful.

[@charliecaltagarone9234]

Not sure if you are still considering a home game but I run a few and use the app "Blinds are up"for the timer. I also use "poker timer pro" for random seating.

[@mick4999]

Is it possible to use bounty in cash game ?

[@chrismanzoni3586]

Not sure how that would work - I suppose you could set aside a certain amount from your stack as a "bounty" that someone collects if they take all of your other chips.

[@charlesthomas4032]

Are bounty buy ins optional? If a player doesn’t want to pony up the extra cash they just don’t get to participate?

[@chrismanzoni3586]

A bounty tournament includes the bounty in the entry fee. It’s a tournament type in and of itself, and yes there are people who don’t care for bounty tournaments. In this case they often look elsewhere for regular tournaments. In the example of my $45 home game, the bounty is a very small percentage of the entry so people don’t mind so much. It’s seen as more of a mini side game rather than a full blown bounty tournament.

[@charliecaltagarone9234]

If you have a bounty tournament with rebuys. Does the person get another knockout chip when they rebuy or do you just not give them one for a rebuy?

[@paulzadro3766]

A New rebuy is = A NEW bounty chip

[@charliecaltagarone9234]

Why should you not rake your home game??

[@chrismanzoni3586]

First and foremost it’s illegal in the state of California, and illegal in most of the United States. Second, I have an actual job where I make a good living, I don’t need to take money from my friends who are guests in my home. I don’t mind winning money from them on occasion, that’s part of the game, but just flat out taking it is not my style.
