Question about Shootouts

[DoctorSlapnut]

Do you think the shootout style tournaments would favor a STT player more then a MTT player? Why?

I think it would, its basically like a bunch of STT's, you start with the same stack at every new table and everything.

Um, that is not correct, at least not for the partypoker shootout tournaments.

Everyone starts with 3000 and blind levels are pretty long. When there are 3 players left, that table is finished, and the 3 players are rewarded money from 1st to 3rd depending on chip stacks. When all tables are finished, the remaining players are reseated at new tables w/ the chip stack from the previous table (+some fixed amount of chips, depending on what round it is).

But to answer the original question: yes, these tournaments do favour a STT player. Expecially from the 2nd round on, as everyone is usually pretty short (10-20bb) and ICM play is predominate.

I'd suggest the turbo DSOs, if you thinking of trying them out.
