I didn't win until the final table, but in the shootout and earned more than invested.Very interesting to play and more excitement than in a normal tournament!

If you mean knockout, or bounty, I have managed to win a couple of sit and go's. I find these tournament are worse to be short stacked in as you'll generally get more callers to claim your bounty. Even with a premium hand, against more opponents it's nearly worthless.

On the plus side as long as you knock out a few opponents you don't need to make it ITM to get back your entry. The couple I won I entered for $1 and ended with over $4 prizes from 1st place and the bounties I claimed (including my own)

Knockouts are a lot of fun, but people play much looser because they account for the equity of the other players bounty to make their decisions.

knowing how to get in with the right hands is money, let them kill themselves at first.

I enjoy these formats. Normally you get a loose and aggressive field. Those can be fun and profitable.

Works both ways tho, you collect from bad calls. KO are pretty much dice throwing events. But at least you get paid before 4-7 off takes you down in the latter stages

the advantage is the bounty of each player you eliminate and the disadvantage is all-in the whole time! Specialy on free rools.

I will play a ko freeroll today, Its a good question, I am trying to learn, there are bounties and players trying to bust each other. Almost every hand is all-in. Players waiting more time to play and players that are Bounty Hunters, big stacks/bounties bullying and stealing blinds.

I think that one of the main advantages of knockout tournaments is winning money. that is, you can enter not into the prize zone and win a lot of money.

knockout tournaments are much easier to play because the decision to call or fold is influenced by an additional factor - a reward for the head! in such tournaments it is very important to have a large stack that would knock out opponents and not just take away most of the chips from them
