This series is pretty good even if the tournaments are not with huge prizes. The main event is too small ( only 200k ) but it is in everyone's interest to qualify for these games. It does not cost much if you are smart to play satellites. Good luck, guys.

It is the favorite tournament of many players out there. It has a wide variety of buy in for most of the pockets And of course since it is in 888poker there are satellites. And from what i see here they start from just one cent Good luck to all the ones chasing the bug money

Nice PKO series by 888 , players will have the chance to battle and fight among them for prizes from $10.000-$150000 to $150.000-$200.000 !!!! Choose the ones they can afford to play and best suit their preference , and try to win the most money
KO tournament players will love this series . I like the idea of winning money in the process while you play , it's good you don't have to get ITM in the prize awarded places in order to win much money , or at least the buy in of this tourney , minimizing losses . Playing in a normal tournament 2 m 3 or 4 hours and not getting ITM in the end , it's a little sad . But with kO tourneys , with every KO you make you win cash instantly , awesome !! That'w why many players like to play ONLY this KO format , and for them this series of games by 888 is a must to play
Good luck everyone playing this God of the Arena PKO series

I have good memories with this tournaments! Two years ago I played a freeroll satellite with two steps, and I won a ticket for this. I fail down in the bubble but I got almost $10 for the knock-outs. I had to work for it but was a nice experience. I´m waiting to know the schedule of free or low buy-in satellites, this is one that I want to play

You can't refuse good promotions if you make money because many players win and you can be one of them. I tried to do something good last time but i failed. Maybe now will be good for me. Sometimes you can win unexpectedly and it is a surprise.

The biggest and best results I have ever had on tournaments , were on such kind of KO games , a series of KO poker tournaments . I tried to win many satekllites to get the entry for as cheap as possible , then played the events were I won the entry and cashed in some of them . If I had played only 2-3 tables , instead of 6 , 7, 8 tables some days , as if I am good or qualified to play like this which is not the case , I would have even greater results I was FT in one , got scared in one preflop shove decision , payed this retreat of mine in 10 hands or so later .
Anyway you play KO , every hand can give you some $$$ , and on the later stages , the bounty is even greater and greater !!!.
Ofcourse you need to take into consideration that many players , maybe most , on these KO tourneys play extra aggressively to take your bounty , you have to adapt your gameplay accordingly , play more loose in many sircumstances than in normal tournaments ,

Yes, the KO mode is good for me. I like the rhythm changes that this kind of tournament propose. Perhaps you stay at the first stage of the tourney, being a rock to don´t take any risk, but then a big whale appear in the table, and you start to doubt if be possible kock down to him with a little pocket pair! If you have a little of luck, ever is possible to get some money there!

These tournaments are very good because you have a chance to pick up something, when you don't finish in the money. If you have a proper stack, could try a few games that have a small buy-in. I like when i succeed to accumulate rewards and some money.

Yes CALICUL, win is good. This tournament is one of the few that I might try with a satellite to get a ticket. In the past, 888poker provides a lot of it, with no more than two or three steps, since a freeroll. So, this mode is easy to make. The sat with five or six steps, with thousand of players in each one fighting for ten tickets are really annoying

freerolls or freebuys satellites with few seats guaranteed but far too many players registered are ver difficult indeed , the way players play very loose and aggressive . You have to adjust your game accordingly , so as to have a chance to deal effectively with this over-aggressiveness . But it'a a free tournament , so you don't have antything to lose by playing it , and if you get the ticket , it might offer you a big payday
Playing sattelites to get tickets for these KO tourneys is sth I like , but also for every tourney . Then you play these KO tourneys more or way far more aggressively , trying to win many bounties , so as even if you bust early , to have won some $$$$$ or some buyins at least for your next tournaments of this kind . I have tried Partypoker and Pokerstars KO series , hope I will be able to play this 888poker KO series as well .
Good luck all BRM players playing tgese 888 KO games

You always have to hunt for accessible options with these tournaments because calculations must be made based on the players and the number of places paid. I'm talking about satellites. With Good Of The Arena it would be worth a try.

Yes, I understand you antonis321 and I´m agree. In the popular tournament, where you have to fight against thousand of villains that have noting to lose, you will find a lot of agressive players. But when you reasonably adjust your playing to a tight mode, you may start to see how the blinds eat your bank. Is really annoing!

I suggest you to risk a few dollars and try the satellites of God of the Arena, because it is worth the effort, if you get qualifications in major tournaments. I watch to lobby games now and i like what i see. You don't have to lose, if you try to make money.

I am building now my bankroll in 888poker , so I am carefull with the games i play . i will see what sats I can play , what satellites or subsatellites I can afford , or else I will be patient to build my bankroll first and then try more expensive games , in series of games or regular everyday games . Thankfully 888poker has many freerolls and centrolls running , also some nice low buy in tournaments to start playing so as to build your bankroll

Good for you antonis321, pay attention to the own bankroll is the first care in poker´s games (the second, not funny, is study of it). And the satellites has the worst relation buy-in/bankroll. You have to have a minimum of 200 times the buy-in in your bankroll to play it! Anyway, I´m not seeing the publicity of this promotion in the main lobby of 888poker

I played in several KO tournaments in the past, but never eliminated more than 17 players. I would like to try again but for now i can only small stakes. Satellites for good tournaments they have not offered satisfaction so far but i'm optimistic.

Lastchance tomorrow , I want to see if I am going to be lucky and play at least one event of this series . I play less these days , wnat to study more then increase the number of games and buyins that I play . You are right maragatero , Bankroll management is the most important thing you have to do in poker , or else fun is over and tilt , bad decisions and great losses might come . Control of money played , maintaining the fun . Then it's the study part , I want to do thid , I postpone it all the time, lol . I have to do it to become better , cause I see there are many leaks in my poker games , sngs , tournaments or cash games , havee to become better

Yes antonis321, control the bankroll (don´t play over it possibilities) and take a time to study the game. In the 2018 year, I was afraid about my retirement, and I thinked that I have to win some money in the future to complete my incomes. So, I choosed a kind of game (S&G) and I started with my plann. I could make it and progress little to little. But the works possibilities changed and I leaved it.

Many players do not know how to control the bankroll and that is one reason why they do not earn enough money. In this case there is something different because the software decides who wins, when you give all in pre flop. It is not easy because you lose very often.
