Stars knockout sit and gos

#1 24th May 2010, 12:40 AM

I've been playing a lot of the $4 sit and gos lately at pokerstars with a .75 bounty for each player knocked out. I really like that format. It helps the action a lot and makes it more difficult to pull off an all in bluff. Anyone else playing in them? Thoughts?

I like them too. I usually do pretty good, I've finished 1st and 2nd in two of the last three I've played.

In a couple I've almost gotten my buy-in back from the bounties before we're even in the money.

Of course on the flip side of that, I've had some bad suck-outs from big stacks calling with complete garbage hoping to catch lucky and collect the bounty. All in all though I prefer them to regular sngs.

I don't think I would play them to make money on, it would be more for entertainment and something new.

Bounties are fine, but they should be a lot more than a dollar or two. More in the range of five dollars to ten dollars..That would help offset the rake taken on every hand.

Thank you, sendittoken..

I usually play the 6.75 90 mans I final tabled 2 or 3 times and cashed 5 times

Bounties sit and go are quite cool, you get the bonus for knocking out players.
Getting bad beats on those suck though.

I have been playing in the NLO8 games. They are a lot of fun but the varience is crazy.

It's a sit n go, what rake are you talking about?????

I think he must be talking about the tourney fee which is rake. But then again he did say every hand so I am just as confused. Anyway I think the KO games are great. The desire to take out your opponent becomes even greater.

When I saw you post this I was thinkin O8 sweet, NL must be a mistake. However, it wasn't, just how greedy will PS go to finish games as fast as they can to make money. I have NEVER seen NLO8 anywhere, live or online, untill now on PS. I guess PS must stand for Phish Seeker, watched for a while tonite and saw nut flushes beat by the board pairing on 7th to complete a boat 3 times,,,,wicked rng.

I have been playing the 4+.40 180 SNGs on Stars a lot this week. I'm no closer to cashing than I am to sleeping with Beyonce. Best place so far is 42nd.

$10 bounty on a $4.10 buy in? I love these tourneys-you have a lot of guys playing fast to get the KO-I have been playing these for the past couple of days and have been cashing in.

In my opinion the NL08 games don't go any faster than the NLHE games. The bubble and the final three a lot of times take longer than the bubble in a holdem game but the entire game on average still takes over an hour for one of these.
