Dara O'kearney is a big advocate of playing draws very aggressively in PKOs when you have a chance to win bounties, so I decided to try a line I might not have taken in a regular tourney. I'm just not sure the right balance between going after big pots and bounties on the one hand, and protecting a chip lead on the other. This hand is from a $5.50, 30% PKO turbo on Stars. I was sitting something like 3rd out of 90 at this point.
