Shootout Poker Tournaments

How a Shootout Works

• Table rounds: the players at a table play until one has all the chips; only that player advances.
• Rounds: a large field can need two or three rounds; the field size usually fits the rounds exactly.
• Short-handed play: every table ends heads-up, so short-handed skill matters.

How to Play a Shootout

• Only first place counts: second at your table usually wins nothing, so play for the table win.
• Watch your table: you face the same players all the way, so reads build up.
