Poker Tips Video Source & Information:

If you want to make more profitable push/fold decisions in bounty/PKO tournaments, this is the poker tutorial video for you!

In this video, you’ll learn why and how you need to change your shoving ranges in bounty tournaments compared with regular tournaments.

It folds to you in the Cut Off with 11bb and pocket twos. Do you shove or do you fold?

This video explores three different scenarios:

1. Chip EV
2. When you have one bounty
3. When you have three bounties

and discusses why and how you should adjust your shoving ranges.

There is no denying that PKOs and bounty tournaments such as the Gladiator on PartyPoker or the Bounty Builder $22 on PokerStars are becoming more and more popular. This video tackles one of the common misconceptions and perhaps counter-intuitive concepts that will help you make more profitable decisions at the table and avoid punting in the future.

Great content Gareth.
You and RYE are the only channels on YT that produce such good wuality videos!
Keep them coming!

Even in the single bounty situation 22 is marginal enough that folding it would be reasonable,

Could you explain how did you set up HRC for these bounty calculations? It seems a little bit tricky.

Cool video. The only thing what I don't understand. You can't only talk about one or three bounties. I mean if you shove 1/3 (=11bb) starting stack with one bounty it's a huge difference to a shove with 10 Starting stacks but 3 bounties. In your calculation the bounties should always be relative in startingchips !?
