KO or Regular?

[Takoyaki]

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 typs?

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.

KO vs REG

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

Regular

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.

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

 

[riff_raff312]

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.

 

[TommyT]

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

 

[mara2259]

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

 

[besplatnee]

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!

 

[BigCountryAA]

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

 

[Rabberto71]

KO is more intense I think but enjoy playing both

 

[German629]

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

 

[Fushicho]

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

 

[dougiefresh1969]

I like them both equally

 

[Datdude1]

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

 

[dougiefresh1969]

I like the knock out the best

 

[Stollpe]

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.
