Poker as a Service

Poker is increasingly becoming the activity of choice for high performance individuals with games cropping up across the city. In addition to home games, investors are organizing games with the intention of meeting founders in an alternative networking environment and increasing access to deal flow (see Foundation Capital, PEF, and Khosla below). Well-organized games are boons for organizers who want to distinguish and embody excellence.

We offer a range of services from organizing cash games and tournaments to lessons to make your game stand out. We are experienced at organizing poker games having run one for South Park Commons for almost 2 years. The game has a reputation for being well run and consistent. Recently, we have been helping other investors and organizations run tournaments. See: Foundation Capital and Manifest. We have the following list of add-ons that can improve your game:

Cash Games: we can deal up to 18 players (special request for more) across two tables for a smooth game. We will bring all of the professional game materials including tables and can handle settling up with our own software. See sample game
Tournament Organization: we can also organize tournaments with formats of your choosing described above. We will bring materials, dealers, and handle buy-ins and payouts
Lessons: we can offer lessons in the main event area in the form of interactive lectures on topics ranging from the rules of poker to modern poker strategy. I have given talks several times before with proprietary material that aims to be immediately applicable vs. theoretical

Community Building

We recommend organizations looking to create a community to organize recurring cash games and tournaments**,** one of each a quarter. For cash games, you should plan to have two tables, one for lower stakes at $0.5/$1 or $1/2 and then one at higher stakes, $2/5 or even $5/$10.

For tournaments, we recommend free rolls where players can participate for free for a prize you offer such as $500 for 1st, $250 for 2nd, etc. You can offset these costs with tournaments where players buy in. We have seen many clever adaptations that allow organizers to recoup their costs while still giving players an incentive to play for.
