Hi guys I want to have some more clarification about PKO tournaments. I state that I have not yet studied this tournament mode well, being at the beginning.

Sorry for my english but i'm italian guys.
Let's start with what I would like to ask you.

100 euro tournament

45 + 45 + 10

45 regular prize money

45 prize pools of sizes

45 from each buiy-in will be added to the prize pool of the prize
A progressive size of at least 22.50 will be questioned for each eliminator eliminated.

Stack 15 000 chips


When I delete a player who has only his collection size immediately 22.50 euros on my account and 22.50 are added to my size which would become 45 euros.

Right no?


During the game we have to consider the size value as the starting chip stack or half?
And if a palyer had more size should it always be considered once or more times?

This theory is behind the reason why in the middle initial stages there is a tendency to call looser to conquer the size and it has a lot of importance, above all it allows you to play looser even the various projects and so on.

Any clarification? I hope I explained myself well enough

Typically when you bust someone you win half the bounty and the rest goes on your head. I think you got that part right.

To examine this strategically I think it’s good to look at the extremes:

A) non progressive bounty

B) 100% progressive bounty

In the former there is more reason to go for a knockout because you get the whole bounty if you ko someone.

In the latter there’s less reason to go for the ko because you don’t get any of it if you don’t place 1st.

Seems simple enough right?

Wrong. The solution to 50% pko is very dependent on the size of the bounty in question and the size of your investment relative to the existing pot.

It’s still poker so it boils down to risk:reward, but in a new fun way that many haven’t grasped yet fully (including myself).

yes but in the pko the size has a value in chips I say well? in addition to the chips of the opposing stack you must also consider those that allow you to have additional odds to justify the call. the size value should be understood in chips as 50% of the initial stack. Am I wrong? I wanted to know if when a person who accumulates 3-4 sizes this value in chips increases or remains always unchanged.
