To analyze the Kick-Off tournament’s hand open ❶ the ICMIZER tournament selector window and select from the list ❷ the Kick-Off 4-max tournament structure. You can review Kick-Off tournaments hands in ICMIZER and also practicing poker strategy in MTT Coach! Analyzing Kick-Off hands With the fast paced nature of these tournaments and a lot of push/fold preflop action, ICMIZER with its TrueBounty model for PKO tournaments is the right tool to craft a winning poker strategy for winning the sprint. Bounty multiplies and probabilitiesįor tournaments with $10.80 or less average bounty: Multiplierįor tournaments with $10.81 or more average bounty: Multiplier Note that while the immediate reward is randomized, the expected value of busting someone is 50% in $12 or less tournaments and 40% in tournaments with a bounty value greater than $10.80. So for Kick-Off tournaments of up to $12, 25% of the prize pool goes to lottery or jackpot bounty pool, and for tournaments with "buy-in" more than $12 20% of the prize pool goes to the lottery bounty pool. If the average bounty at the start of the tournament is more than $10.80, players get 60% added to their bounty and 20% + a lottery based percentage immediate bounty. With the expected value of the immediate bounty in mind, these are played just like all other PKO tournaments with the standard 50/50 immediate/add-for-head ratio.
If the "buy-in" is less than $12 and the average bounty value is less than $10.80 (your bounty value will be $10.80 in $12 tournament because of 10% rake) after eliminating an opponent, you will get 50% of their bounty value added to your bounty value and 25% + a lottery based percentage immediate bounty. Whether or not a 10% rake can be beaten at $25 or $60 stakes is not obvious and will depend on the number of weaker players entering these limits.
This sounds big, but due to the rules as long as you keep winning your 4-way "races" you advance further without paying rake so the rake is paid for the course of several tournaments which may make these tournaments possible to beat to a professional player which is especially true at lower stakes. There are following buy-in options available:Īll Kick-Off tournaments have a 10% rake.
Behind tricky definitions and obscure phrases like "sprint" or "finish line" hides a 4-way fast-paced PKO (Progressive Knockout) tournament, with large blinds, the majority of hands played at the push/fold stage, and no classic prize pool.Īll prizes are given for eliminations of other players, so the bounty prize pool is equal to the entire Kick-Off prize pool. Kick-Off is the new poker format available on PokerStars.
