WELCOME TO THE SEATTLE POKER OPEN

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.  Because of our attention to the finer details of the game, we are the only recreational league endorsed and sponsored by Tulalip Casino.

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|.  In addition, we provide many lucrative prizes nightly, weekly, and a great Season Championship.  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.
