Hi to everyone
What kind of tournament do you prefer?
PKO tournaments are my favorites, but I think it depends on luck on many occasions. However, profits can be made without reaching the top positions.

KO tourneys let you get back your buy-in which is cool.

PKO...build your bounty, hit the PO and watch them call your AA shoves.

They never catch on.

I like them both. MTT's are nice to get lost in and just try to ride the wave into the $. PKO's allow you to pick up some bucks while you play without having to make it in the $. They're both fun to play and worth the buy-in, in most cases, imo.

I prefer MTT, they are more designed for people who don't play for luck and know how to think

I prefer regular MTT's. I think PKO tournaments involves more luck than the regular ones. But I do like the PKO tournaments on 888poker, the mystery bounty ones, because of the surprise factor.

Pkos are great for loosening up your range and upping your aggressiveness. Can be a great learning experience in how to get paid off in certain spots.

I like PKO, but only with a proper structure. Otherwise regspeed MTTs are also good.

If we are looking for much more excitement, without a doubt, PKO are the right ones, but without a doubt luck is necessary to be able to win in this type of tournament.

I personally like PKO more than MTT, the satisfaction is much greater when I eliminate a player and take the reward.

Hello.
My choice is PKO of course. I like to see that i can win something even if i won't reach the prize zone.

I like to play more MTT, in PKO I don't understand the strategy very well.

I like to play both, in my tournament schedules the amount of PKO and non-PKO I think they are equivalent, but I agree that it is very good to play PKO tournaments

As for Me, I more prefer the ordinary MTTs... Because in the PKO tournaments the basically players, by my opinion, first of all want to get a bounty,
and therefore Poker is becoming similar more a lottery... And hence, from this is harming Quality of Game!

I will try to understand your question, since the PKO games are in MTT format, surely you mean MTT with or without bounty, in that case they would be PKO or vanilla. PKOs are played differently and have different strategies and ranges, without study it is impossible for you to win those tournaments.

Lately I'm having the same question myself. PKO or Regulars...

PKO has this thrill of making cash almost instantly and you can get your buy-in very fast. The only problem in my opinion it's PKO tourney's are usually played much more loosely. And I personally enjoy regular speed tourneys with plenty of time to grow your stack-size.

So to sum up, althought both of those tourneys are fun, I would say Standart tourneys would be my way to go. More money in ITM and a much more strategy gameplay.
