“Introduction to Strategies of Poker” instruction classes will be conducted for all levels of beginning poker players. Classes are taught at an easy pace by an OLLI instructor well-versed in the game of Texas Hold’em. Instruction will also include the history of poker, the rules and terminology of the game, the hierarchy of poker hands, and the strategy of betting and raising. Instruction will be conducted at special poker tables with casino-type poker chips and regular 52-card decks. Following the “Introduction to Strategies of Poker” classes, beginners will be invited to play with more seasoned players in the “Strategy of Poker” course, which follows.  All players, seasoned and beginners, continue to hone their skills each week and become better players. This course is a lot of fun with a chance to socialize with fellow OLLI members who also enjoy the game of Texas Hold’em poker.
