Tunneling regime, introduced by Keldysh, in the interaction of strong lasers with atoms has been now accepted as the reliable method for describing processes when low frequency lasers are involved. Yet it was always assumed that the ionized electrons are leaving the atom with zero initial momentum. Because we are interested in how non-zero momentum influences the transition probability of tunnel ionization, we obtained the exact expression for the momentum. Here the estimation of the transition probability with nonzero momentum included was conducted. Potassium atoms in the laser field whose intensity varied from 10^{13} W/cm^2 to 10^{14} W/cm^2 were studied. It seems that all energy of laser field is used for tunneling ionization process at the beginning of laser pulse - ionization probability is large. After that, with further action of laser pulse, ionization probability decreases, probably because part of laser pulse energy is used for increasing momentum of ejected electrons, leaving smaller amounts of light quanta available for ionization of remaining electrons. If laser pulse lasts long enough, then the amounts of light quanta available for ionization become larger, resulting in increase in ionization probability, now with greater starting energy of ejected electrons.

Potassium atoms in circularly polarized laser field whose intensity (I) varies from 2× 10^{12} W/cm^2 to 2.5× 10^{14} W/cm^2 were studied. In the case when there is zero initial momentum, transition rate (that depends only on I) exhibits standard behaviour: as I increases, so thus the rate, until it reaches its maximum value at 1.1× 10^{14} W/cm^2; after that, rate diminishes as I increases. In the case of non-zero initial momentum, transition rate (that now depends on I but additionally on initial momentum, too) exhibits following behaviour: dependence of the rate on I follows standard pattern, it rises with increase of I until it reaches its maximum, and then diminishes. But with increase of momentum, ionization rate gradually diminishes.
