This is a discussion on Elimination reward tournaments within the online poker forums, in the Tournament Poker section; Friends lately rooms like PokerStars have increased their Knockout tournaments. I think it is a success, I really like tournaments with a reward for elimination.

I am a fan of bounty tournaments. it can reduce crazy amounts of MTT variance slightly which for some people is amazing if not everyone. However, for others the style of play doesn’t suit nearly as much and making a final table is less rewarded. Some of these bounty tournaments to have insane prize pool to say the least though so it’s about finding the optimal bounty tourneys
I enjoy bounty tourneys but I don't go for the bounties very aggressively I chopped 3 ways in one and only had 2 bounties and 1 was mine. Some people are so aggressive in them they rarely cash but they double or triple or better their buyins the one I chopped in one such aggressive person kept me in the game trying so hard for my bounties he never made the money but probably made as much as me if he didn't rebuy early didn't watch him that close
I like these types of tournaments, but the reality is that I play them the same as normal MTTs until the bubble, until then it is not really worth risking the tournament to find a bounty. If while playing it like a mtt I get a bounty it is welcome. When the bounties begins to be profitable obviously that I begin to give importance to them.
Bounty MTTs are great, i play them from time to time, but i think that a lot of players calls with any two to knock you out and get the reward. like calling with Ax from any position, or calling with second or bottom pair and ending up hitting the turn or the river, or if you open the pot x3 with AK or AQ there's at least one player that will shove +50BB with medium pocket pair. and you have to gamble to get there. a lot of coin flips.
for me there's a lot of swings in bounty mtts. I prefer freezout tournaments.

I've played a lot of bount tournament, but I definitely don't like the size of the field and variance.
it is the typical tournament that at the beginning, you have a pair of AA and a crazy nut goes all in with 72o and still manages to knock you down!
I think it may be time, I am getting older and I try to avoid strong emotions! lol

That’s a brilliant scenario to be in. Variance isn’t increased for your bankroll though. If you play a solid game your bankroll can be covered within 4 knockouts. Of course if the fish knocks you out then that’s the way it is but don’t avoid them scenarios ever! I mean, fish doesn’t suck out and you’ll take a bounty or 2 and be in a great position for the tournament.
such tournaments are very good, because there is a chance to earn money when the lottery is all in, or the opponent plays stupid and aggressive... But I don't like it very much,because a lot of people think that it's easy money and start playing crazy,very stupid, the main thing is to beat out some player.. I think these are tournaments for fun... no serious game...
No I absolutely do not like this format of the game how many times I have not tried to play my card is always weak and I can not knock anyone out. But the paradox is that in regular tournaments I get to the prizes!?
