I honestly prefer bounty builder tournaments because they keep me focused as opposed to waiting to reach the money.

What do you prefer?


At the tournament price that I play, theres a lot of fishes, so I prefer bounty builder, almost all times get paid, even if I din't reach ITM.

I prefer regular MTT tournaments. I don't like knockout tournaments. Sometimes in such tournaments, players play with any junk just to get a bounty and it's very annoying.

I like them both, I alternate them, and I play depending my appetite. Bounty have more action and they are faster and the regular pay more at the money.

Definitely KO MTTs, because you can play them profitably even without getting into the money: cool:

I prefer playing more of Bounty Builder as players are little bit looser and of course if it's turbo its more action packed. Also having 1-2 table of regular MTT on the side for more post flop play is a good addition.

Regular are more professional sort of speak games. Bounty ko games are pretty much a bingo poker, but ofc opinions are always many.

I like Bunty-builder format. It is much more dynamic and more fun. But the presence of a bounty brings additional depth to the decision-making process.
The ability to choose right moments to isolate short stacks and collect bounties, the ability to correctly account for bounties when calculating pot odds are not the only skills that you need to have when playing PKO tournaments.

When I am given the choice, I do prefer regular mtt, 6-max more than full ring. The bounty one is fun, but has a different strategy, where you have to play agressive and leads to multiple mistakes.

I feel like bounty builders are more fun personally as it just adds to the action, but regular tournaments I do tend to do better in

Bounty builder.
There are much people who are just looking for your bounty and calling with Bad hands. Sometimes they win but most likely you will get it for higher % then in normal tournaments they dont Look for the pot odds

I prefer both, you could say that both have a disadvantage, in your case you say that in the regular you can not concentrate, but in the reward case, you may lose focus by calling an all-in from someone short-stacked with a marginal hand for the ambition of wanting his reward, and what he does is bleed your stack of chips, it has happened to me.

I prefer regular tournaments. The bount make you more loose turning the variance higher.

I prefer play bounty tournaments. I think that this type of tournament are more fun and you must concentrate 100% in your opponents because you can earn some money in all the hands of the tournament 😀

Sorry for my english 😬

I prefer regular tournaments, because bountys have a lot of lucky crazy players.
