Played some. dont really like them because they take away part of the reward to put in on bounties. Which means you probably need to take more flips to win those (flips gain extra value) It also means that your steals against bigger stacks are also less valuable (since they get the chance to suck out on you and win money even if you have the better hand) so it really enhances the luck-oriented game under my opinion

Like those, could classify to my first one yesterday and from a sat of .36 could eliminate 2 folks and pull 5 bucks.

However the level of players is still too much for me, will play a few more satellites today and try to get a few $$ with the eliminations.

Let's see.

I dont like KO tournaments but i think in early stage you have to go all in if you want to get someone out ofc you must have very good card but also you start with 50k chips so you can w8 for a good card and when you hit on flop you can play slowly and make your opponents to call. In mid stage you musnt loose your chips and play to slowly increase your chips. And when you get ITM play to get on final table!

I dont like knockout tourneys because the places paid price is reduced compared to a standard one.

The guaranteed total price is also reduced because of the bounties.

Very interesting tournaments. Strategy it is not significantly different from the standard. You just need to frequently play against short stacks.

I enjoy KOs. some of the changes in my game that I have noticed are that you can expect to get called much lighter by stacks that cover you while it incentivizes calling with a wider range against those who you cover. all around I think these tourneys are much more splashy and give you an opportunity to make a min cash before the bubble comes around. my really strong hands I like to play fast and hard while playing small ball on your middle draws will help you stack chips. early aggression is more important in these tourneys as a dominating stack will increase your profit and each chip has two separate values' one for the prize pool and one as a stack for bounties.

basically you have to have pair of steel balls if you want to win big in knockout, so not my style...

Good tournament, but be careful in the initial phase, some people calls with everything, if u shove like AJ probably you'll be called with junk, and loose, a lt of people play bingo because of the knocks....

You are likely to get caller even if you shove with AA or KK because lot of player were targeting the bounties but the prize and itm were reduced to cover the bounties.
