Beginners welcome

New to poker? No problem. If you understand the basics (hand rankings and how betting works), you'll be fine — and if you're still learning, players and staff can help you get settled.

What to expect on your first night

• A friendly table and clear tournament structure
• Guidance on blinds, dealing, and the flow of play
• A social, low-pressure environment

Tips for first-timers

• Arrive 10–15 minutes early to register
• Bring cash/card depending on the venue's preference
• Don't worry about “perfect play” — focus on learning and having fun
