LEARN to CRUSH in PKO BOUNTY TOURNAMENTS

Over the past few years bounty and progressive knockout bounty tournaments have become hugely popular in the live and online fields.

You must always remember that when playing a new type of tournament that you have to ask yourself what is different from the traditional format and make necessary adjustments to your strategy.

In this video I teach you the calculations you will need to make in order to determine whether you should call an all in depending on the value of your opponents bounty! I’ve even made a calculator you can use to help you crush in bounty tournaments.

What advice would you give to someone playing in their first bounty tournament?

[Eric-tjtg]

This is a great video about a subject matter, specifically PKOs in my case, that is sorely lacking in YT. Thanks for "plugging that hole", J.L., and for doing say in a technical, yet not overwhelming manner. Much appreciated!

[TheTexansgk]

In progressive knockout tourneys though just running deep is fine. The bounties don’t get big until late tourney

[SwrPwr]

I think in the video at min 12:12 the math should be 18K / (20K +2k+2.5k+50K) = 24 %

[TomRauhe]

Agreed, calling an all in with Q2o does seem a bit loose.

Can you put together a video on strategy for mystery bounty tournaments?

I like pko cos if u win a few bountys u win.ur buyin back

I assumed that in a bounty tournament of 50+50 buy in with a starting stack of 10, 000 the bounty is worth like the starting stack, 10, 000 chips and not 5, 000...
Can you explain please where I was wrong?

[gsoesi]

in a standard pokerstars tourney is it villains's displayed bounty or is it "displayed bounty*2 "? bec. lets say 10k chips, 3Dollar buy in, 50/50 split. I should get chips added to the pot for one bounty: 5k in chips right (Bount worth in chips)? but if I plug in the numbers in the spreadsheet I only get chips added to the pot 1.250??? am I missing sth?

[dietasse]

In your example at 12:06: Does it really make sense to call of your opponent with like T7o for example? I mean this hand has clearly more than 19% equity (probably even more than 25%). So mathematically it is a good call according to this logic. But in your example you're risking your whole tournament life and does it really make sense to call with T7o when you will loose more than 70% of the time and just be elimanated? This cant be true.

[jacobc]

How are the antes calculated I’m confused at that part.... and 9-handed? I can’t tell

[BillsFan]

$10 bounty PKO, player only shows $5 as bounty? I win their $5, where does the other $5 of his bounty go? 1st place only? Also... even though I just won this $5 bounty... only $2.5 is added to mine? So does that mean 25% of the original bounty goes to 1st place?

Nice content, had an awful situation at pko tournament today, im utg and find blackjacks in my hole. Theres a "crippled" villain with less than two bb left and before he got annihilated he picked up few bounties. So i want to grab those and make a hefty 8x straight away. Guy with ~2bb calls everyone else mucks, but the bb. He insta calls. Bb and i got about 100bb stack both. The board comes 28Q of hearts. Action checks to me and i pot it, bb insta calls again. Turn is a J heart. I check and bb shoves, and the way hes played im sure he had turned a flush. Im in the tank for a while and open fold my Jset. Cards open, "cripply" has pocket TT and bb Jd9h and the A board pairing 8of spades. I wanted to throw up, seriously. Now the question is should i just shove jj pf or what? But since the bb was quite a gambler i guess he wouldve called anyways. But at that point i thought that i just got few flips home and got a decent start to go with, hence didn't wanted just shove jjs pf. Anything i could done better?

The math doesn't make sense. If I buy into a tournament for $100 and $50 goes towards the prize pool and $50 goes towards the bounty pool, and let's say the starting stack is 10k, that means my 10k chips is worth $50 and my bounty chip is worth $50. Therefore a bounty chip is worth 10k chips. You're basically saying my 10k chips is worth $50 and my bounty chip is worth $25. Either that or you're saying my 10k chips is worth $100 and my bounty is worth $50. I'm not really sure which but neither makes sense. This is not how any other poker coaching site tells you to do this math.
