These are a lot of fun, but people play a lot looser. They will take your bounty into account when calling allin's so consider that before shoving. They call wide!

The knockout games are very good. I have been playing for a long time and I have won fairly. One strategy would be not to play weak hands. It's an ordinary tournament, just as every player's head is a reward.

In KO games I preffer to play TAG. You can get more for winning the tournament than for bounty

Just stay calm, and play your best game, don 't panic because people will go all in with a lot of hands becasue of your bounty, just try to play your spots and your monster hands as best as you can, good luck!

I also tend to play tighter in a KO and wait for better hands. I really want to pick on players with a smaller count than me and play for stacks. Pretty easy to get your buy in back on just bounties, but you have to be careful and not get into multi-way pots "chasing" a ko.

Minority opinion, I'm not a big fan. I just don't like the way that it changes up the game.

I think people make more errors in bounty tournaments placing more emphasis on the bounty than they should. You can often take advantage of players trying to get a bounty with a weak hand. It usually opens up their calling ranges quite a bit. When short stacked I will play more aggressive with premium hands and it is more likely than normal I will be called.

Play your short stacks in late position and get calls with weaker hands chasing your bounty. Don't get annoyed by bad beats

A lot of people open more hands because of bounties try to take advantage of that,and at early stages dont go crazy for bounties because compared to late stages of tournament they are nothing

These are my favorite tournaments. It's a good feeling when you throw someone out and get the money.I use the same strategy as in other tournaments. Sometimes the desire to throw someone out of the game can make you a problem.​

definitely my favorite type of tourney. but can mess you up sometimes when multiple pairs get dealtv like last night utg +1 shoves , I shove over the top then got called by a short stack on the button. hand in order of play were 66 TT QQ so I lost half of my stack for that one.

Last time I play only one knockout tournament. It`s $2.20 $1+$1 tourney on 888 poker. I use my standard strategy to play and this tactic works.

as a rule in knockout field tournaments are weaker! people are pursuing knockouts, not realizing that the main knockouts are focused on the final table!

I may be repeating myself but in knockout you have to realize your potential and play from the start. When will block your entrance - act brazenly, but do not exceed their capabilities. For the opening of your actions will give information opponents. First the goal is to get to baiyin, the second is to get into the prizes, and the third to be the best.

So you need to shorten your shoveing range when you are short stack cause you will get called because of bounties

They play pretty much like normal tournaments with a few exceptions.

- You get bounties so you can bust before money and still make money somtimes.


- People will call you lighter as mentioned before because of bounties so you have to tighten your shoves and limit bluffs.


- You should also figure peoples bounties into calling shoves as well.


I like the bounty tournaments for sure.
