Shooters

Shooters is located at 2726 S. Hydraulic (262-0072).  They play every day at 2:00 pm.

This bar is independent and not currently affiliated with any particular league; they started playing poker in March.

On April 5 2005, I played in the 2pm session there were 9 players.  The game operator indicated that they normally had about 2 full tables in the afternoon session and 4 full tables in the evening session.  They reach capacity at 4 tables.

There are no session prizes.  Points are awarded for placing high.  The final 6 players ranked highest in points get invited back for a play off tournament.  Last I heard, the prize in the finals tournament is a trip to Las Vegas.

By its name you should imply that Shooters is a pool hall and you would be correct.  The group of players is very regular and generally know each other by name.

(01-30-08) An update from Dan.   Shooters is changing their poker format.  Instead of a monthly point game for a cash prize, it will be weekly.  You can still play at 2pm and 11pm, but points will accumulate Monday though Saturday with the top 12 point players competing for a $50 first place prize.  Both the day and night sessions will have a separate prize game.

(09-09-05) A report from P. S. Shooters is playing four week tournaments.  There are two tournaments: one for the 2:00 session and one for the11:00 session.  The current tournament began on 8/31 and runs through 9/25.  The finals are on 9/27. The top 12 players in accumulated points will compete in the finals tournaments  Finals pay 1st-$100; 2nd-$50; 3rd-$30; 4th-$20.  Points are accumulated as follows: playing - 5; 1st-50; 2nd-35; 3rd-25; 4th-20; 5th-15; 6th-10.
