I want to pay some 0,55c tournaments on Pokerstars and was wondering which ine is easier to cash. I fell that the bounty tournaments have a lot of gamblers, but since the field is too big I don't know if I'd be better of on a regular tournament. Any tips?

Just play what you feel better. At The micro stakes, the level will be very low in both regular or ko tournaments, so you shouldnt have problems if you will be focused enough

If your goal is to get better and move up, I think, its best to start with regular tournaments. Bounties can be a bit of a distraction, if you dont yet have your default lines and strategies hammered down.

Regular freeze out tournaments if they still have them on Stars. I miss PokerStars.

I think you see more crazy play in the KOs, like players calling shoves with ace rag hoping to take somebody out.

i like playing regular tourneys, but lately i've been playing a lot of PKO tourneys and have been having a blast due to the intensity

of course, knockout tournaments, as in them you may not reach the prizes and beat the buy-in and even more

i preffer bounty hunters

I also prefer bounties tournaments

I prefer regular tournements at KO tournements you must have at the beginning luck to get a high stack ,when not the big stacks dominate you ,at a ko tournement you had to play loose to win something and that is not my play

Both tournaments can make you winnings, play with what you feel most comfortable with. Good luck!

Both of tourney are good but I ,personally, prefer KO because during the game you'll be cash out for bounty which is not so bad I guess.

I started liking the knockout tourneys better, you can make a profit and not even get in the money sometimes. Players are a bit loose, but aren't they always. lol

I'm playing the tournament that starts faster. Rules? Each is interesting in its own way, but for me there is no difference. In any tournament, you need to play well to get a positive result.

I really like the KO tournaments but I prefer the regular freezeout tournaments

I think regular tournaments are better for those just starting out.

Believe it or not a "bounty" tournament changes the math on everything from opening ranges played to push/shove ranges and minimum defense frequencies. Many people simply cannot make the changes. That being said, with us small stakes players , you are right it seems to be bounty tournaments draw plenty of bingo players and they can be rewarded generously when they are running good. If I was going to concentrate on a slow and steady approach, I might stay away from bounty BUT if you are feeling that the cards are falling your way today LOL - Go for it. I am half-joking but at our stakes it is true. Poker pros like Bencb have done videos on the difference in tournament equities , if you want to hear a description - you should be able to search youtube for "raise your edge" videos to find his channel

It depends what format you like to play. You are right with that Bounty mtt are more gambling and risky but if you have enough luck you can earn pretty money before bubble yet. Regular mtts are classic. I would combinatet both

Each game offers unique aspects of play, some play KO as they can win money and not even get high enough to finish in the winnings from the game.

I prefer the KO tournaments because you always have chance to get more earns, in cases that you are not eliminated first

Knockout is a very interesting tournament, I like it more than usual. And the reward is paid immediately

You can expect considerably more aggressive play in the knockout tourneys. I'm normally not an aggressive player so prefer tourneys that run 8-12 minute blinds as opposed to those running 3-5 minutes.

In the ko tournaments you gotta put in perspective the ko money you will get , lets say a player has 8 dolars and other got .25 cents, you will be more likely to call a all for 10 bb with a9s for the player with 8 dolars, but gotta be careful as a lot of player be hunting those bunties and you might get your self a call with worse and take a bad beat
regulars tournaments when all ins less people tend to call, they take a more thigher range

Play all 3 MTT 0.55$ (BH, Hot and Big) and play SNGs 0.25$ 45p/90p.

Until you prove you can beat the lowest level and make money! Build a bankroll and slowly move up. My advice: be patient! Key element.

I personally love KO tourneys. I might say they are a bit easier to cash because so many are focused on justing bounties they can get short stacked really quickly but you also have the added benefit of getting money from KOs so you kinda have two sources of revenues. I would definitely say at least try one and see how you like it. You never know unless you try

I never thought mathematically about it, but I prefer to play regular tournaments.

Bounty tournaments just seem to have a little extra zing

high win % = Soft fields, small fields, long blind levels.

I much prefer to play bounty tournaments because in my opinion the game is much more exciting and you can win more often, but i don't prefer to play bounty on low stakes, because there are many players who goes all in with every hand because they don't care about their buy in

Specifically for 0,55 tournament - it is easier to cash-in in a turbo tournament 0,55 than Bounty/KO tournament. In turbo 0,55, you will need 1h and 45 minutes to cash-in, but in KO tournament of 0,55 the focus there most of the players is to eliminate the other player and are playing very aggressively with various kind of hands.

I prefer regular tournaments, but I would try them both and decide what is best for you.

Good morning everyone, I prefer Mtts with longer blind increases and as in the MtT KO micros, they are on average for 7min, 8min and 10min blinds, I prefer the regular Mtts is where I have the best results, with blind raises over 12min

Start with just the regular style tournament. If your not real sure about tactics or your strategy you don’t need to be thinking about adding extra risk by trying to cashin on bounties.

Stay Safe

I prefer Regular Freezout tournaments, I hate Rebuy tournaments and tournaments where there is a long period of late registration.

regular, on bounties players call of with anything just because they want a knockout. a lot of times you will get 3-4 callers and even with the premium holdings is hard to make it to the river

I like the KO there is money to be made through the game and most of them are easy picking just give it try 0.55 it's a good starting place once you get the hang of it try the 1.10 the more the merrier!!!! just have fun

I prefer KO MTT because there you can get payouts for knocking out and your winnings do not depend on the place you take.

Depends if I want a slow loing game or a quick one

If you are really going to play poker seriously, you shouldn't have such questions.

You can handle it is not much different from another game, nice rewards for knocking out, I can try to take part. Everything will turn out bolder!

I've started playing a few more KO's lately but I still prefer normal I think.

KO is more intense I think but enjoy playing both

Hello, Everyone! I'm prefer more play regular tournaments, and only sometimes play KO tournaments,
when I feel yourself at very good form!

Start with Regular, get used to mechanics and the structure. Get used to it settle in.

I like them both equally

I like playing tournaments when I play poker. But I also like playing a ko tournament as well, it's a lot of fun.

I like the knock out the best

I play both but I usually only have a profit in the regular ones. In Bounty tourenments the "Push or Fold" Phase starts much ealierer and therefore more luck is needed. In regular you have more time build up a stack before the All-In or Fold Phase starts.
Also people do crazy calls and if you have AA and 5 callers because you are a lower stack you damned to lose, as if in a regular maybe only 1 or 2 people might call you.
