After making 2 final tables, last night, in the $3 KO tourneys... I decided to give another go at the $24 KO tourneys.

I made about $32 in KO's (effectively getting paid $6 to play the tourney!)... and then, this...

This is an automated message sent from Full Tilt Poker.

The KO tourneys that I'm playing work like this...

They are 90 person Turbo Sit-N-Goes.

Top 9 get paid.

However, money gets drawn from the prize pool... so that each player has a "bounty" on their head. For a $24 + $2 tourney, the bounty is $4 per player.

So, even if you do NOT make the top 9... you can still get "paid" along the way.

For each, if you knock out about 6 players... you make back your total buy-in plus a little extra. Knock out more players... and you're essentially free-rolling.

It's a great set up. I love it.

Punk, Have you played in the FTOPS yet? I will not be playing this year because I just started at Fulltilt and trying to build a roll. Hopefully I will be able to play in the next one.

Also have you tired that Iron Man Challenge there?

And is your screen name the same?
