I do like the fact that when you knock out a couple of players that you are already in the profit zone. Then the rest is gravy.
I used to play these a bit, I stopped for some reason. I think I am still searching for the perfect combo I am looking to play. I have started playing some satellites also. First one I paid 3.30, and got a 33.00 buy in. I was thinking about not playing and using the balance. Then played and got sucked out right before the money. Worth it still.

I like such tournaments, but I can allow myself sometimes to play such a tournament for $ 0.55

I normally try not play these any different until late in tournament, Prize pool is considerable larger and is the main focus. Late in the tournament and with a stack, I'll look for isolation with strong hands.

If you get on a roll, you can make a lot of money in knockout tournaments. It feels good to be on top.

^ this , you can get more often and before bubble ITM but don't forget that players play with wider ranges and sometimes with any two just to get directly the your bounty. If you are a profitable player in those keep grinding them!GL sir!

Knockout tournies are fun. I prefer regular or guarantee tournaments to try and make a profit on though.

I think the knockout tournaments are very good, especially for beginners. You can always make money and beat off the money for the buy-in.

If you have already mastered the strategy for these tournaments, you should play more often may not get ITM, but eliminating multiple players can regain entry tournament, and earn more.

Really loving ko/bounty tournaments. The new $2.20 progressive KO running on 888 is my favourite right now, softer field than the pokerstars bounty builders.

I do not really like knockout tournaments, sometimes it's played badly to eliminate a player, I prefer regular ones.

It a different way of having incentives receiving prize money.

To me actually I feel the knockout tournaments you receive less prize money.

It is an exciting game, because it rewards a knockout and it is a mtt with two kinds of profits. One is the bounty and if you get in the money, this is the second! They could put more of them like mtts or there could be boundy in cash games or in zoom.

If you feel comfortable playing that kind of tournaments do it, one of the positive sides of that type of tournaments is that when you eliminate several players you would be recovering the tournament ticket and you would not have to wait so long to start winning, that's if you eliminate to several players and you are doing very well in that part of the elimination

I don't enjoy them. The knockouts reduce the size of the prize pool and the strategy makes you play "wrong" against short stacks. In my opinion.

I really like this kind of tournament, the thrill of eliminating a player is huge.
