Hi all, just a quick question, I'm sure there's a simple answer but I can't figure it out and it's really bugging me.

Anyway I was in a 2.20 bounty builder on poker stars and i dont get how the money is divided up and here's why.
0.20 for commission then 1.00 for the bounty and 1.00 for placed prize money. simple so far.
But when I'm at the table my bounty is displayed as 0.50 and when I knock someone out I get awarded 0.50 straight back in my account and only 0.25 added to my bounty so theres still 0.25 unaccounted for or I'm missing something (which probably means I shouldn't be playing online poker lol).
Either way if someone could explain this to me I would be very grateful.

Maybe you knocked the opponent together with another player.

k, 0.50 is a bounty for a player (the amount that will go directly to your acc, when you knock him), another 0.50 is the amount that will be added to your bounty.

You - 0.50, Player A- 0.50, player B - 0,50.
You knock A - you get +0.50 to you account (as it was told near players name), another 0.50 that wasn't listed anywhere is divided in two - 0.25 to your bounty that is displayed near your name, another 0.25 added to initial bounty 0.50 (total 0.75 that will go directly into the acc of anyone who will knock you) and it isn't listed anywhere.
So now You- 0.75, player B - 0.50. He knocks you. He gets 0.75 directly to his account, and his own bounty increases 0.50+ 0.75.

Hope that cleared things up, I was confused as well at first, as PS changed how they display bounties. Basically your buy-in that goes to bounty is divided in two from start, where one half isn't displayed anywhere.
