Sometimes you have a player at your table with a huge KO stack to his credit, and after that his stack went down to almost the minimum. Many times the same game also leads you to want to play badly, something that I really try not to do. The MTT for me starts after the late registration, that's where you start to see the players who play seriously. Until the late registration, which is generally 1 hour 40 minutes, the MTT turns into real chaos at times. The 1st part of the MTT is very adrenaline. Whenever I can I play them, always at low costs from 0.55 to 2.20 I particularly like both KO and Bounty Builder a lot. Yet this is now the reality during low volume hours, because less and less people wants to play traditional tournaments.

There is not much "big" about an 11$ "Big" with a 1.500$ price pool. As they have with nearly all other tournaments. So its completely understandible, that PokerStars decided to give players, what the majority wants, rather than reduce the price pool of their most famous tournament. It would also mean a big loss of prestige, since there is not much appeal in branding it the "Sunday Half Million". And not only would this result in less income from rake. So of course it makes sense for PokerStars to offer this format more and more.Īs for Sunday Million the realistic choise would most likely have been to reduce the price pool.

When given the choise far more people perfer to play MTTs with bounties than those without. And as Poker Orifice say, this is simply a result of player demand. In my opinion, this differs from the reality experienced at the live tables, and since pokerstars was sold to the Rational Group, it has been bringing certain innovations, such as this one, which in my opinion are not good.Īs far as I know, the latest KO series on PokerStars ended two weeks ago, so there seem to be some kind of misunderstanding here? But maybe OP is just talking about the PKO format in general, since he mention traditional flagship tournaments like Sunday Million, which is now a PKO. In KO tournaments, each player has a head value and it gradually increases when he eliminates other players, that is, it may be that at first a player is worth $10 dollars when he is eliminated, so if you eliminate him you receive $10 dollars for his head and the yours rises to $20, and if you are eliminated you receive $5 dollars and the other player has increased his head to more than $15 dollars adding the initial value plus those he has eliminated. What do you think of the pokerstars KO Series, today it has migrated certain traditional tournaments to this series including the famous Sunday Million and the Sunday Storm, I already played a KO tournament, and in the tournament I participated in I had a good performance, I reached final table, but I don't like the type of tournament.
