TOURNAMENT VARIANTS
PART 4

Shootouts

A shootout is a series of single-table tournaments. However, players never win seats to the same step or lower steps. A player advances to the next round of the shootout or goes home.
A shootout is a single event.
Shootout events have different structures. Some award only one seat to the next round per table, while others award multiple seats. Nevertheless, almost all shootouts have a flattened prize structure at the final table. This means that shootouts are usually not played as winner-take-all tournaments. The prize pool tends to be distributed widely among the final table finishers.

For example, suppose 100 players enter a shootout event. There are ten players at each of ten tables. One way to structure this tournament is to have only one player per table advance to the next round. At the final table, there will be a winner from each table, and they will compete in a single-table tournament. Generally, all players at this final table will receive a prize; however, first and second place will receive much larger prizes than the other players.

However, a shootout event could also have three players per table advance to the next round. In the round of 30, three players from each table may still advance to the final table (making only nine players at the final table). A shootout can be structured in a number of ways.

The structure of a shootout should determine your strategy. If only one player per table advances to the next round, you must play very aggressively. You will have to gamble a lot and hope to win all of the chips at the table.

However, if several players advance to the next round, a more selective aggressive approach is in order. You want to keep a fairly decent-sized stack, so your opponents do not go after you. Avoiding confrontation is important because you want to advance to the next round with as little gambling as possible. Again, stealing the blinds frequently is a good strategy to keep your stack above average.

You will need to KNOW the structure of Shootout (playing in) before you can determine how AGGRESSIVE to be.
Remember, you can only do 1 of 2 things; ADVANCE or YOU'RE OUT in Shootouts.

I like the traditional way of playing more than shootouts. I think very quickly and depend on getting good cards.

Don't see a whole lot of shootouts online Shirls. I've played a few, mostly private tourneys. I like the concept and usually have fun. But they are much more difficult than they appear.

havent tried one either tho sure they are good for players that like that sort of game, Guess i should try one as the concept seems more taxing so less likely ill get bored and give up like i do in freerolls if they are lasting too long

This is the first that I've heard of this type of poker, it sounds interesting. I would surely prefer the type where more than 1 player gets to advance. I think I would be much more comfortable playing that way.
