$1 KO K9o

He seems like a tight player and I don't think he will shove wide enough to make a Nash call here. Off course there is a small bounty in play, but read less I would still fold K9o here.

A little bit off topic, but not that much: Using a normal ICM/CEV calculator how do you guys factor in the bounties? Is it like X% of BI means I can shove/call X% more hands or is it less mathematical and more intuitive than that?

Not really, but it's tough to counter bounties in a a calculator. If the bounty is 50% of the buy-inn you can't shove 50% more hands.

Sorry, the X/X thing was dumb of me...but is it a X/Y thing? How can one study KO spots?

Something like that, but I don't know enough of bounty tournaments to give a good answer for this. Maybe an idea to Collin in his https://www.pokerstrategy.com/forum/thread.php?threadid=345953 thread or in his coaching.

If buyin gives 1500 chips and villain bounty is 50% of it then you can basically add 750 chips to pot. So e.g. lets say you have 2k chips. Blind is 100/200 and SB shove. In BB it would be in cEV 1800/4000*100= 45% equity needed. Now when we add bounty it would be 1800/4750*100= 37.9% equity needed. As we are in STT there is also ICM side to account. Not sure if some of current tools, e.g. HRC, ICMizer has support for KO or PSKO games. Have not played much of KO and non as sng format.
