Hi Jeremy. With regards to the formula, when we add another 50000 chips to pot for min SPKO, does this not assume we realise all of those 50000 chips i.e. win the tournament? We win an immediate $125, which is 25k chips and the other $125 goes on our head. We only realise this $125 of we actually win.

Would it not be closer to something like (25K + x25k) where x = % we win tournament?

Therapist, you're on to something here with this question:

You are correct in the fact that we only realize the $125 immediately upon busting someone even though $250 of our buy-in goes into the PKO prize pool in this specific example. After doing some thinking, it's hard to determine the actual equity of the other $125 that goes into increasing our bounty as having a bigger bounty on our head causes people to play against us differently which can be positive or negative, and then there is the fact that we could win the whole tournament and actually realize the full value of each bounty but that doesn't always happen which you mentioned.This information is difficult to quantify into a formula, but it certainly is a non 0 amount that has to be factored into the equation. You are right that this formula could use some tweaking but it's so difficult to come up with a perfect version that accounts for the different factors involved in PKOs. I'm open to have more discussion and hear what everyone else thinks on this subject while I try to come up with a more suitable formula.

Very clear and useful explanations on bounties. Also the hand analysis. I liked the last hand with KK and how,after thinking about it, the raise on the turn is not to be feared that much. I used to auto cbet that kind of flops with my premium us 2 players but been getting wiser nowadays. This training site and their coaches have a lot to do with it. Thanks.
