KO tourney stratagy

So, how do you play KO tournies? My biggest cash ever was a KO tourney on Fulltilt. $4,400.00 + $124.00 in KO's. The thing to remember in KO touneys is to FORGET they are KO tourneys. You should play them as if the knockout money wasn't even there. The money is not in the knockouts, its in the prize pool. The object is to cash, like in any other tourney. I won a 90 player SNG KO tourney and only KO'd 2 players. Both on the final table. The mistake I see most often in these tourneys is people way over betting their hand or cold calling just to score the KO. Stick to solid MTT game play and the remeber the KO's are just a bonus.

Easier said then done for me. I stay away from them because I always get sucked into calling an all in with top pair or 2-pair, only to see my opponent has a set, or something similar to that. You definitely have to play them the same as a reg. tourney, I just haven't been able to do that, so I figure why play them. The KO money gets taken out of the main pot, so I just don't like these tourney's. I guess if you can take advantage of dopes like me, then it's worth it. 😁
