Poker Bootcamp: ready for your next tournament
Rocky had the steps in Philadelphia. You get a poker table, a dealer and a coach who tells you what you're doing wrong. Afterwards you'll know when to call, when to fold and why.

Frequently asked questions
How much does the Poker Bootcamp cost?
A bootcamp day costs €129 per person. The weekend and evening series are quoted, because venue, overnight stay and group size vary.
Do I need poker experience?
No. We start with the basics. If you already play, you get drills at your level.
How is it different from a poker workshop?
A workshop is a fun 2–3 hour evening. The bootcamp goes deeper and works towards a goal, such as a tournament or a poker trip.
Can I combine the bootcamp with a poker trip?
Yes. Many groups do the bootcamp just before departure, so they don't sit down like tourists in a poker room abroad.
Do we play for money?
No. The bootcamp always uses play money. Participants must be 18+.
