NYC Games?

NYC Games?

I've been out of the live poker scene in NYC for a while and I'd like to change that. I'm looking for a low key game run by someone who has a history in the community, not someone with >100 posts and a relatively new account. There also seem to be some facebook and meetup.com groups that advertise pretty openly, but I'm thinking I probably shouldn't trust that. Anyways, if you can help me out or even point me in the right direction, please PM me. Thanks.

Looking for players to join a long-running (10+ years) Wednesday evening weekly single-table $40 NLHE rebuy tourney. Typically eight to 11 players participate each week, starting at 7:15pm and finishing around 11:30pm. The top three players cash; depending on the number of rebuys, first place is typically in the $250–400 range. In addition, we have a league structure, with the top four finishers each week receiving points in the standings. Each week we withhold $40–60 for a December final table; the top eight players in the standings qualify for the FT.

A couple of our regulars have left the group due to physical moves or family commitments, so we are looking for new players. We typically play in Brooklyn Heights, Clinton Hill, Williamsburg, Bed-Stuy and Ditmas Park, so folks living in Brooklyn, Manhattan or Queens are likely to be the best fit. This is a friendly game and the social aspect is paramount — we like poker, but we like each other's company more, so please be a mensch.

DM me for more details. Thanks.


last year was at a bar in the ues towards closing time and a guy was walking around from table to table inviting people to his poker game down the road


was way too wasted to consider going but definitely got me thinking

is it a setup to get robbed?

crooked game looking for drunks to swindle?

legit game looking for players?


Unless you got a real itch to play id suggest either you find your own game, go the legal ac/PA/CT route or just wait out nyc casinos. A rando asking to join his game is sus


Hey all! New to the forum but been lurking as a non member for a while! IÂ’ve been hosting in NYC for close to 8 years at various stakes - just love the game, and love meeting new people in the city. I am hosting a friendly no rake $2/$5 NLH home game at a Central Park North / Harlem location on the coming Tuesday, July 23, from 8:30 pm - 1:00 am. ItÂ’s a fun group, we have Rounders poker chips and an auto shuffler! Some regulars have come and go over time, and we have a couple spots left, please message me on Instagram @uptownpokernyc for details on how to RSVP 😊🙏🏼


what model is the automatic shuffler?


Just want to say JoeyBagels is a good friend of mine IRL and his game is great, well run, and splashy!

It’s the Shuffle Tech ST1000. The one that’s not programmable, thankfully!
