FTP's New "Knockout Bounty" MTTs

[MJBuddy]

New FTOPS event representing this structure, btw.


Actually very interested in it, since the BI is low and if I can pull off satting into it, I can have a flatter variance and less loss of edge.

(Also, good players win more flips on average than bad players and should have a higher ROI from the knockout bounty side pool.)

I must be a terrible player

Might this cause some weird things to happen with tournament equity? For example, you're in quite significantly better shape with 10,001 chips with the rest of the table all having 10,000 chips than if you had 9,999 chips. Does this mean it might be feasible to make some marginally -EV decisions that could improve your "knockout equity"?

5+0.5, 4 to prizepool, 1 to knockoutprizepool and 0.5 rake.


anyway how should u adjust to this?


UB has this as well btw.

it gives more incentive for retards to be retards, because there is a short term reward

every tournament should be a bounty tournament

and sixmax

with high antes

I agree, probably might as well make it split pot, too

I'm kinda surprised people in the higher stakes tournies like these. It seems like a lot of money to take out of the overall prizepool although it is a fun concept.

I'd think it makes more sense in smaller stakes where most people are happy just winning any semblence of money.
