To be honest with you PKO is not the best formats for beginners, because its more complex. Its better to start with regular tournaments and develop a solid strategy to beat them. If you have that, its pretty easy to learn the adjustments, which you need to make when playing PKOs. And of course its mainly to simply be aware of the bounties and when they are worth fighting for. Maybe its easier to illustrate with an example:
UTG has knocked out some players and accumulated a big bounty, but a few hands ago he got unlucky and lost most of his chips. He only have 8BB left, and now he has moved all-in. It folds around to you in HJ, and you look down on AQo with a 50BB stack. Two of the players behind are also deep with 41BB and 71BB respective. In a normal tournament you should call and leave yourself an option to fold, if someone behind you jam. But in a PKO you should move all-in to try and isolate UTG and give yourself the best chance to win his bounty.
