Its with great pleasure that I wish to announce the long awaited return of POKER SCHOOL at the Fitzwilliam Card Club & Casino commencing Sept 10th for an 8 week run!

POKER SCHOOL originally ran from 2003 - 2005 at the Fitzwilliam and over 75 people attended the 5 'terms' that ran winning in excess of €75,000 between them over the 2 year period!

This 8 week course offers beginners & intermediate players alike a FULL course in playing the most popular game of poker – Texas Hold’Em (No Limit). Other games featured on the course are: 7 Card Stud & Omaha.

From hand rankings to sandbagging to final table play you’ll learn HOW to maximise your chances of winning every time you sit down at the tables. Everything is covered from blinds to bluffing.

When to bet? When to fold? It’s all here. This is YOUR CHANCE to improve your game. We’ve even got an EXAM (week 7) to ensure you’ve picked up the course detail.

As part of each course all students will be entitled to play in the €1000 FREEROLL (*) event. This event is EXCLUSIVE to our students and the winner will get €350. More than enough to cover your course fees!! (*) – Subject to student numbers = 20+

Courses will run on Wednesday nights from Wed 10th September starting at 7pm. Each class will be of 90 minute duration and will comprise of both lecture & practical exercises.

There will be a MAXIMUM of 20 students per class.

Cost of the course is €250.

Applications for the course should be made, in the 1st instance, to the Fitzwilliam Club, with a €100 (non-refundable) deposit. Payment of the remaining €150 is due on the first night of classes.

All classes will take place at the Fitzwilliam Card Club, Clifton Hall, Lower Fitzwilliam Street, Dublin 2 Tel: +353 (0)1 611 4677.

I shall personally DOUBLE any students winnings from the 'end of term FREEROLL' event who attend the course as a direct result of reading about it from this forum.

TV3, an Irish TV station did this report on the school when the last classes were held back in 1985.

And you'll send a few shillings my way too ? ;)

Sounds like a great way to get into playing Texas Hold'em. Do you offer any type of 'free' introductory class for people who are unsure ?
