When the buy in is right but the style is wrong

I've grown so accustomed to $200,000 buy ins that it's hard to stomach playing for lower stakes. This is a problem when the midnight train goes missing, since the only $200,000 buy in tournament that's likely to be available in that case is a bounty tournament. I try to avoid bounties like the plague. Last night, the midnight train went missing again, and I couldn't stop myself from jumping into the $200,000 buy in bounty that was on offer at the time. Bad move. I should have just settled for a $50,000 buy in MTT NLHE. A favorite poker style should trump a favorite buy in every single time.
