Being first hand and I'm assuming it is a head hunter, I call. You raised massive to 260 to get people to commit and that's what they've done. I think when you consider pot odds + bounty money it's a good call.

Instacall in any low-buyin tournament

EDIT: I didn't see there was an overcaller. Leaning towards a fold, still a call is probably not bad since they might both have Ax type of hands.

a few assumptions: its crypto and/or its a headhunter.

based on those assumtions i instacall.

in a non-hh tournament, raise less pf and throw away when theres a push and call behind u.

Two Q's,
1) What is a headhunter tournament?
2) Are US players still allowed at crypto? Is it soft?

half the buy-in goes to main prize pool and the other half goes onto ur head.

u win 75% of the head of every person u knock out with other 25% going on ur head.

eg my head is worth $4 and u knock me out so u win $3 and ur value increases by $1

Edit: bounty of course is the word i was looking for...ty jharding
