PKR Points in tournaments
You get 100 PKR Points for every $1 you spend in entry fees. The entry fee for a tournament is the additional charge made by PKR for hosting the event. In most cases this fee is equivalent to ten per cent of the buy-in.
PKR Points on real money tables
PKR Points are awarded on raked hands played on real money tables. They are calculated against the amount that you’ve put into the pot divided between the other players at the table. That means the bigger the pot, the more PKR Points everyone gets. Your points are also based on the amount that you put into the pot – so the more you contribute yourself, the more PKR Points you’ll earn in the hand.
The maximum number of PKR Points that can be earned in any hand is capped at 300, in the same way as maximum rake.
Real game examples of PKR Points
Hand one
In a four-handed cash game with a $50 pot raked at $2.50, a player who bet a total of $9 would receive 45 points (reflecting the 18% of the pot they contributed).
Hand two
In a six-handed game where the rake has been capped at PKR’s maximum rake limit and a player has contributed $30 to a pot that reaches a total of $101.50, the total points awarded would be 89 (or 29.5% of the pot).
