PKR Terminator tournaments
May 24, 2009 | Published in: Poker room news
Personally I like the Terminator tournements at PKR but almost every time I play one there are at least 5 people asking how it works. So i thought it was time to write a post about these PKR tournements.
What are terminator tournaments?
With a portion of the prize pool going to a bounty on every player’s head, Terminator tournaments are all about taking the other player down. A portion of the prize pool goes on to every player’s head. If you take that player out of the tournament, their bounty is yours. The value of each player’s bounty is displayed on the table above their username. The more bounties you claim, the higher your bounty gets too – so you become a more attractive target.
Full information on the set up of each Terminator tournament can be found in the in the ‘bounty info’ tab for the tournament. There you’ll see information including the number of heads each player has eliminated, the total prize amount claimed from bounties and each player’s existing bounty value.
Full or half buy-in on your head
There are 2 types of terminator tournements at PKR: one where 100% of your buy-in is on your head and one where it’s 50% and the other 50% goes to a prize pool.
You can play the normal Terminator tournements (with the 50%/50% deal mentioned above), the headsup tournements (Terminator Two, 100% buy-in on your head) or the Terminator Xtreme (Sit & go, 10 players and the 50%/50% deal).
