These KOs tournaments are great , many players like them and play them fanatically . They were introduced and very soon became a must and a trend in the poker rooms , players really adored them . the fact that you can instantly win some cash before the ITM places in a tournament , winning some or all your buyin , or even have some profits , make these games very attractive to players

Such a thing is not to be avoided, if you are so willing to do something good for your pocket. I'm disappointed because I can't play here, but I tell that u must to insist on qualifying for major tournaments with a medium or high buy.

this explain why is good to play this kind of tournaments and what can you get from them: Joining in on a $22 buy-in Big Bounty Hunter tournament sees $10 go into the main prize pool, $11 into the bounty prize pool, and $1 is retained by the site as the tournament fee. There are two things that separate partypoker's PKO tournaments from its rivals.

I love bounty hunters tournaments since I won on one tournament 200$ in bounties. I usually play the opposite of most players and try to exploit players that are after my bounty. I don't get myself in bad positions just because there is a bounty in the line.

Once I played such a series of KOs events on Partypoker , I went pretty well , except for the days that I played many tables at the same time , more than 2 , especially one Sunday , very bad results , cannot play many games at the same time . Ofcourse , I played them cause I got the tickets very cheap , tryimng to get reward from click cards as well , Partypoker used to have some crazy satellites , awarding so many tickets , easy to get in the action almost in the end of the late registration and get the ticket , so big guarantees , but it had overlays , that's why they stopped them i guess , very sad , hope they bring them back one day

I like when play such tournaments, Insist to eliminate opponents and the disappointment is greater when players do not pay. A final table with a few thousand players was my best success with a 7th place if i remember correctly. Big Bounty Hunter is a good game.

Low buy ins , so even a micro player can join in , and try these KO games , the bounty hunter and try eliminate players and get their bounty (half of it ) . Really exciting when you see a player with a very big bounty , to lose most of his stack (bad beat or unlucky) , then the opportunity to grab this bounty , even with not good hand if action won't go crazy , but if you have a good hand , some players will also pay your hand trying to get this big bounty or even also yours
Bu sometimes bad beats can be seen more , as players tend to call so big range so as to take your bounty , I think this happens especially in the micros

I made a few blind playing in this format, and I´m sure that is a super attractive format of poker´s game. But I feel (I know) that I don´t know, how I have to play there. The bounty question makes big changes in the range´s decision to make an open raise, 3bet or push, depending on who is in the spot and which is his bounty. I think that you have to takes it as a Head´s UP, in some situations

It's something beautiful when players pay very easily their whole stack. Is a important thing to eliminate as many as possible because in the end we all pursue something important. I will try this weekend to find some games acceptable for my pocket.

maragatero you just need to play as you play normal tournaments,you dont have to change anything,just depend how much players will you kick from tournament!some money you will take from bounty,something you will maybe take when come to prize pool!but maybe you will earn enough from bounties,that you will not care will you come to prize pool or not!

Yes, you have the reason dule-vu, but the bounty makes some effect to your decision. As you know, you should be more aggressive when the prize is high. So, when a big bounty seat in your table, you have to makes some loose move, expected to catch it. Is a natural tendency, and is a reasonable measure in the theory of the game. That´s why I think that I haven´t the real understanding of the format

For the good organization of our bankroll will have to play something suitable for your style and this big bounty hunter tournament is something to the taste of most poker players. I like it very much and in the future i will try this more often.

maybe maragetero you will push more and you will play with lot of hands,because you will try to take chance to kick that players from tournament and to take his bounty,as you will not do on normal tournament!but still this is very good format,where you can take nice amount money without end in prize pool!

You play NLH , which is my favorite game , but others might want to try PLO , which has crazy action by itself , if it's also KO then I guess craziest action is guaranteed . Reduces rake and many buyins starting from micro limits , that's very nice for players with every bankroll to have a chance to try this format of poker . I really like when they have a series of such games , especially with good sat offers , then it's very tempting and profitable to play them

I like very much the bounty style, but I don´t be comfortable with it. I feel that some spots are over my understanding, and still I don´t find where I could learn about it. In PLO, I feel in the same way, I like it and think that is very funny, but I don´t know any theory about it. The difference is that are to many sites to learn it, despite I don´t do it yet.

I have a bad feeling when i forget to register for a ko tournament and yesterday i did exactly that... but not in party poker because is restricted in my country. Sometimes i'm completely focused on other things/ problems and that is it.

You are in a worst situation than dule-vu, he couldn´t spin the wheel for the tickets to Ragnarok Promotion, but you can´t play anything in Party Poker! So, if you still are annoying with the 888poker´s software, the only poker´s room where you can play is in PokerStars? In your country don´t allow to run the chinese poker´s room, like GGpoker? What a shame CALICUL

With KO tournaments , you must be ready for many coinflips , many preflop shoves , a lotof aggressiveness from other playes who will do their best to take your bounty .
It's good on the one hand , cause you can also play the same if you can , try to take advantage of the others' weaknesses , win as many bounties as possible , not even care so much to be ITM places . But also , you have to know when you will call or shove , the pot odds , be ready for crazy calls just to win your bounty , also don't wait until the last moment to go for the blinds with very very low stack ., cause then everyone calls to take yours , and you might lose with a crazy hand , with many in the pot , your hand gets weaker and weaker .
Also , if you have big bounty on your head and a very nice hand preflop or on the flop , shove , many will call , easy money !!!
