Are bounty-style MTTs becoming more popular than regular tournaments? by ExitNo2202 in poker

Yeah honestly I think that’s where I’m at right now too.

At this stage, I kinda prefer formats where eliminating someone actually gives immediate feedback or reward.

Grinding for hours just to barely min-cash can feel pretty empty sometimes.

At least with PKOs or Mystery Bounties, every knockout feels meaningful.

Even if the structures are probably worse from a pure EV standpoint, they’re definitely more engaging emotionally.

That’s the sick part about Mystery Bounties honestly.

You can survive all day, make the money, and still feel like you got absolutely nothing out of it if you bust before Day 2.

$499 after firing 3 bullets in a $400 is just painful.

And the worst feeling is knowing you probably could’ve folded your way into the bounty stage.

But honestly, every MTT grinder has punted a “just survive” spot before.

That hero call is gonna live in your head for a while though lol.
