Hello,
I have played pokerstars knockout poker tournaments.
I think this is very good tournament for aggressive players.
What do you think should players here play by other strategy?

If here will be more aggressive players, other players can make good progress. What you think?

I played the knockouts.And seeing as you play, the game will not be called.Most of the desire to beat the player and get a bonus for knocking than the game itself.

If aggressive players = donkeys with middle range hands then players couldn't make progress. I'm joking of course :p But for me it's inversely, I mean if there're aggressive players it's mean that newbie players would be afraid of calling for ex. KQs what's mean that they can't make progress.

In "the big"s (or other classical not turbo tournaments) you must play at least over two hours to hit ITM. But in knockouts you may win few BI's after half an hour. There are just more loose players here, consider it and play as usually.

How can we discover loose players?:cool:

Aggressive play, very much. Because the short stacks and the blinds increase very quickly. The players play aggressively with quite a large range of hands.

Look what I recommend is that you do not let yourself be carried away by the rewards they give for each eliminated player, observe the bets your players and especially in your cards, a firm position is very good ... do not call play with decision and determination

In this type of a tournament even if you havent got to prize-winning places, it is possible to win money.) On my thought it is the only plus of this tournament.

It seems to me there are many type of tournaments, as there are biscuits? Some people like KO tournaments, some don't, some people like custard creams, some don't. Personally, I would much rather play a KO tournament or a hyper-tournament, rather than a long tournament, with 3 hours late registration, with 30 minute blind levels......As they say its all horses for courses.

I have copied your two posts into mine, because I think 1.Drowy, you are making a big mistake, that if you think these tourneys are all down to luck. There are different strategies, on how to play these games, most of which you will find in this forum.

2. Yes, the simple answer to your question HEFOLK, you can win money in these tournaments even, if you don't reach the prize money. Imagine you are playing a $2.00 "bounty builder" tournament on Pokerstars. You and all your opponents start with a $1.00 bounty on your head. Each time you KO a player, (with a $1.00 bounty on his head) 50c goes on your head, and 50c goes into your bankroll. So you only need to KO 5 opponents, with a $1.00 bounty on their head, and you've made 30c profit. That is not too difficult, and to be honest once you have quadrupled your starting stack, people start playing a wider range against you, and playing more aggressively, so just pick your spots and you'll soon be ITM, even if the bubble hasnt burst yet. Good luck :top:

Last time I gladly play KO. I think, that tight-agressive style is the best way to win this tournaments. Particularly on the small limits many players make mistakes and you can use it and make you profit! Gl To you!
