Are you tired of competing against players that are just trying to "win their way in" to an event they aren't ready for? Are you bothered by all the "wild jokers" that don't take the game seriously? Come play in one of our events and elevate your game to the next level.
The SPO was developed as a "learning league" where players who take the game of poker seriously can hone their skills and ready themselves for larger, real money events, while still having fun and meeting folks with similar interests. If this is your first exposure to the game (you aren't our first!), you'll find friendly players at our tables, and tournament direction of the utmost quality.
Whether you're just beginning or want to try a different style, we welcome you to come and sit at one of our friendly tables, where the only thing you need to worry about is your game. We offer a different |tournament structure| each night of the week, and some extremely fun |Special Events|. All you need to play is to |register| for free.
We hold many tournaments a week in your local neighborhood bar and restaurant.
Check the |schedule| to see a full list of where and when we will be holding one near you.
LEONID ORLOV
PLAYER #2646 League Menber since 7/6/2011
Occupation: Play-money Poker Pro 8-) Hometown: Moscow (not Idaho!) Neighborhood: Greenwood Poker Nickname: “Very aggressive!” (said with a Russian accent) How long have you been playing poker: I know that 3 of a kind beats 2 pair! ;-) Favorite Starting hand: two cards Favorite poker game: There are other games, too?? Greatest poker moment: stone bluffing a solid player (yes, from this league!) early on and beating the same person heads up to win the tournament. Best Lay Down: same tournament, folding a rivered full house (the board paired) to a push from a player that called behind the whole way – quads were shown. Poker Pet Peeve: Opponents acting out of turn! Favorite Local Card Room: my living room :-) Favorite Pro: Jason Mercier Favorite Poker TV Show: watching WSOP (almost) Live! Favorite Poker Book: “Every hand revealed” by Gus Hanson Players on your Dream Final Table: nobody you'd recognize, because hey, I want to win, not “have fun” losing to a bunch of superstars Close to the Bubble - Play to Win or Play to Cash?: Play to enter the final table with a healthy stack You get Aces on the first hand of the Main Event of the WSOP and someone goes all in pre-flop - Do you call?: Not even looking for the fold button – it's not there!!
This week, and every week of the season, will have a Featured Player of the Week. If you can knock the week's Featured Player out a tournament (excluding Sit 'N Go's), you earn either 2 stamps on your Player Rewards Card, or 10 points added to your score that night. But if the Featured Player of the Week makes it to the final table, they will earn those rewards for themselves!
