What’s your favorite tournament format?

single table tournaments are all i ever used to play, just cause the vibe feels more like a friends’ home game if you ignore the avatars. been seeing more people talk up bounty formats, though. i get the appeal of knocking out someone and getting instant credit, but i never know when to loosen up with marginal hands - feel like everyone just starts shoving weird spots trying to score some bounties. i also tried one re-buy event last week and wow, bankroll danger zone. maybe the low-stakes ones make sense if you’re bored, but i kept getting the urge to punt chips just cause i knew i could re-enter, and that never ends well for me.

wish there was a format that split the difference a little better, something less marathon than a classic multi-table and not as wild west as a rebuy. anyway, curious what mixes folks gravitate toward or if i’m missing some hidden gem style. i keep thinking i should just go back to low-key sit n gos and not overthink it.
