Welcome to our new site. We have several new features that you will really come to life in the following days. First, we have updated the payment system and designed everything to our liking. You can now purchase classes directly on our site. Second, we have created a ton and I mean ton or poker videos that we will be uploading over the course of the next week. We will be covering a variety of topics and are anxiously awaiting feedback. Third, we have integrated a blog on the main page where we will be discussing poker concepts, strategy, in addition to complete random non-poker related topics.

New Location:

We now have a home. We are located at 548 west 28th street, in the heart of West Chelsea. We have found a very comfortable loft equipped with a beautiful regulation sized poker table, extremely comfortable chairs, and custom casino grade chips and cards. In addition to our table we also have a 120inch HD projector screen, which will be the main feature of our Profitable No Limit Class. We will also have movie screenings once a week.

New Classes:

Currently we have two classes, Intro to Poker and Profitable No Limit, we will be adding more classes in the near future we just want to figure out exactly what people need so we can meet that demand. We will be having some random classes as well in which we will play, learn, and discuss the strategy behind other games, such as monopoly, scrabble, and more. These will be free and open to any member who has taken one of our classes.

I am really looking forward to the next couple of months and am really excited to share the new space. If you have taken one our classes before please stop by to pay a visit or take a refresher course, which are always free of charge!
