PKR Runs Terminator Tournaments

PKR is running new tournaments that are attracting tons of players because of the big twist. They look just like a normal tournament, and feel just like a normal tournament, but there is one big change. Every player you knock out is worth extra money to you, so everyone is going for the knockout blow. You can really take advantage of this, and we'll get into how to win these below...

How it works is that everyone in the tournament has a bounty on their head, and if you knock a player out, you win the money that was his bounty. Also, every time you knock someone out, your bounty increases as well, so you become a more worthwhile prize for your opponents. The bounty prize pool comes right from the main prize pool, and is usually about 50% of the total prize. So, in a $10 tournament, $5 will go to the prize pool, and $5 will go to your bounty.

Besides the MTT terminator games, there's also a Terminator Two style game, where it is a heads up tournament with bounties on everyone's head. As you knock out your heads up opponent and face a new one, your bounty increases as well. These tournaments also reward you with PKR points depending on the tournament fee.

The final terminator game that PKR offers is the Terminator sit and go. In this one, it is a normal one table sit and go, but 100% of the prize pool goes to bounties. So, your only goal in this game is to knock people out. You could get 4th, which would normally be a losing place, but if you knocked out the other 6 people you'd have won a big amount. In this game, focus on the knockout.
