To make the most of isolation opportunities, we need to take the right strategic approach. We see regular players passing up profitable spots to pick-off bounties, then we see the 'crazies' getting all-in with anything to try to win a small bounty, and everything in between! The bounty reward dynamic can really skew ranges considerably. This is mostly due to the fact they aren’t used to going out of their way to try to get heads-up with an opponent, sometimes even with a really wide range. Here’s a quick video outlining why we are so incentivized to isolate players we cover in a knockout tournament.Īlthough the idea of isolating is a simple one, the majority of players aren’t correctly executing it. Let's wreak havoc in PKO tournaments and amass some huge bounties! Isolating in a PKO tournament In this article, we’ll cover the PKO strategies you can implement into your game to start winning more of the bounty prize pool. Top players are always looking to increase their chance of winning a bounty and so use isolating as well as other various crucial tactics to accumulate bounty rewards including: Limping, adjusting opening raise sizes,huge jams and more.
The most common play we see to scoop a bounty is where a player raises to isolate an all-in player or short stack. Especially as a player’s stack gets short, we see aggressive action as players contend for the bounty. With an instant cash reward from the start of the tournament for busting a player, naturally, play is very loose. It’s the reason why knockout tournaments are currently the most profitable tournament format. The craft of bounty hunting in progressive knockout tournaments is where the elite players gain a huge edge.
