Knockout Bounty Tournaments

April 13, 2009 by cal

Knockout bounty tournaments are a great way for beginning players to start playing Texas Holdem poker online. Unlike regular tournaments, knockout tournaments dedicate a portion of the buyin to a player’s bounty. When you knock a player out of the tournament you collect that bounty. The bounty in these types of tournaments is usually 15% of the tournament buyin. Although this doesn’t amount to that much, several knockout bounties collected help alleviate the cost of the tournament buyin. Furthermore, knockouts allow players to play higher stake tournaments while staying within their bankroll standards. Although unlikely, it is possible for a player to profit on a tournament without cashing by collecting enough bounties.

For a new or limited bankroll player knockout tournaments are the way to go. The bounty instantly credits to your poker account upon knocking a player out. Pictured above is a sample knockout tournament registration screen indicating the buyin and knockout bounty value per player. As you can see some poker sites offer Sit & Go format knockouts as well. Full Tilt Poker is well known for a high stakes knockout tournament called the “Sunday Brawl” where each knockout is $40 and first prize is over $55,000.
