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.
