PKO Tournaments
In a PKO tourney, each player has a bounty on their head. PKO tournaments are quite different from regular knockout tournaments because instead of being fixed, a player's bounty goes up even more as they progress in the event. Every time a player knocks out an opponent, they shall receive a portion (usually 50%) of that eliminated player's bounty. The other portion is added to their own, thereby increasing their bounty as well.
Therefore it creates a whole new way of winning cash that only requires a slightly different playing style.
Martin Jacobson of Team888 leaves aspiring players one helpful strategy tip, "Find a good balance between playing aggressively enough to accumulate bounties without being too loose."
888poker ambassador Chris Moorman said you should avoid this common mistake at the PKO tables, "The number one mistake I see people make in [a] PKO MTT is bounty hunting too hard with awful hands when it will ruin their stack if they lose."

nice series for all poker players,24 tournaments,buy in for every range of poker players,everything for everybody I could say!even for expensive tournaments,you have satellites with low buy in and maybe you will take tickets on this way and be party of this big series!good luck to all players!
I hope you played satellites guys, for a few tournaments in this series and you managed to get one or more qualifications, because it is important to try and to play for your chances. Series are the best chances to achieve something good. Good luck.

The guaranteed money though - compared to the buyins - are not that great. There are many different tournament series where the discrepency is less sizeable to be honest.
I remember this series of games and as far as I remember I didn’t really like this series of games .... I didn’t manage to get into the main tournament through the satellites .... But that was understandable ... Since there were people who wanted to break into the main tournament a lot .... Of course I will try to do it, but it seems to me that this is a rather useless task ... considering my level of poker, it is quite small
Another great series from 888poker. And of course since the tournament is there it means like always that you can win a seat in a big tournament by playing their satellites. Not easy to win a ticket though cause it is a big site and the registrations must be into thousands
well I would like you to do this in other places too, since not always one is playing there, and in 888poker a long time ago I could not do it with several at once it was a mess hahaha so good who can approve it and if I they want to donate something everything is welcome haha
Yesterday I played in the free satellite of this tournament .... the first 15 players entered the tournament, which of course was absolutely unbelievable since there were a lot of players .... I tried because the tournament was free and of course I didn’t succeed because I took a chance ..... it was necessary to take risks so that there was some chance of passing this satellite .... everything is natural
I played in a few satellite tournaments in some games but the luck was not on my side and i'm waiting this week to play, maybe i'll do something. If i am not successful, then i will make a deposit again because the chance can come with only one game.
Well I want them to do a promo in pokerstars because I have been there for years and at the end of the day there are less ways to earn money, since they are taking out the few freeroll that are left and already getting to play tournaments is increasingly difficult and heavy
