If you were all in and opponent had you covered didn't you have over 90BB? approx. $24,000 divided by 250?

big tournaments

like the Scoop Always turn into some Shooting tournaments…. and mostly some lucky guy hits his q 7 or b 6...and I'm out...

then I really hate poker...

hope this shooters don't bring it that far..

Got it all in preflop
*shakes head walks away from table

Will play 38 after I blow off some steam

Unlucky. I'll check in and keep up to date. Good luck.

PHX · May 8, 2020

This one went quick
5 Bet shove preflop and QJ calls and hits
Playing 39 & 41 tomorrow until then

Well after an absolutely appalling week of results, and a stack of coolers the likes of which I have not been through for ages, I have finally just gone through the bubble of tonight's event with a healthy stack.

Here we go.

Two and a half hours of day one left. I have half a million chips (just over the average).

Lost a few dollars first day playing 2 games will try to recoup the dollars tomorrow as off work the weekend or donate a couple hundred to the winners most likely.:rofl: Great runs in this thread unlucky joeisi with PLO8 nice play though.

hugh blair · May 9, 2020

Losses recouped when won this satellite need a result though.

This sums it all up nicely: https://pokernerve.com/progressive-knockout-tournament-strategy/

Massive thanks for this, started playing pko regularly off the back of this and first ‘big’ win today.

Satellited into the $22 4-max Saturday Slam and cashed for $70 in prize and bounties. Small steps but a decent return on my $2.20

Really appreciate the pointer here and pkos generally seem an underrated tourney style as the site suggests!

hugh blair · May 9, 2020

Busted 2 bullets 39 L and M:bath: will try some Omaha and bounty builders 41L and M later.

hugh blair · May 9, 2020

Threads quiet today anybody do well? did not have a great day win some lose some hoping tomorrow to do better will play a few L and Ms cheaply thanks to satellite wins.
