I want to discuss the two modes of PKO and MTT (as in a mentality for strategies) which has high variation in itself.
If I'm playing PKO, I get these recollections of why getting all in somehow is advantageous in PKOs and then some
feeling of why this differs from standards MTTs. Not that I mind too much, but it creates confusion sometimes
and high levels of emotional engagement that, to me, it brings the idea of always comparing these two distinct mentalities
even within a single type of game (because difference makes for lack of understanding of poker strategies but also learning proactively).

Has anyone else felt that, when playing PKOs, you get the feeling its playing like MTTs except from some weird all-ins?
Or, that you can learn other players' behavior simply from differentiating the two modes separately?

Thanks in advance for any feedback, please back it up if you want with hands or key strategy modes...

PKOs reward bounties, so wild all-ins print money - MTTs need discipline; mix up strategies or get exploited.

A PKO shouldn't be seen solely as a fight for the prize pool, but also for the opponent's reward. Eliminating a player with a large reward can be more valuable than winning the prize pool in terms of chips. This is very attractive because, even if the player doesn't reach the total prize pool, they still make a small profit. This doesn't happen in MTTs.
