I host poker games at my loft a few times a week, we play from around 8pm until we get tired, often very late. Right now we play $1-2 No Limit Holdem and occasionally $2-5 NL and Pot Limit Omaha. The game is in a great area in prime Williamsburg, and I have a nice full sized 10 handed poker table with comfy chairs, custom ceramic chips and Copag cards, wide selection of drinks and snacks. Sometimes one of the players brings some Whiskey to sip on. Its a pretty casual game, we are a very friendly crowd of all ages and ethnicities, we order food and watch sports during the games.
The games are social: People talk trash and try to bust each other with 7-2. Fun times, great group of friendly players, and the action is wild with a house special 7-2 BONUS and the games are often very deep stacked. If you want to join us TEXT 917 586 2238 with your name and playing experience and I will text/call you back and answer any questions you have.

UPDATE 2024-2025
What's up NYC area Poker players and gamblers! Chris here with a brief update about what's going on at WPC now in 2024 and for the foreseeable future.
-Main Game
Our main game remains $1-2 NL Holdem deepstack with a buyin of $150-600. We still have the legendary 7-2 House Special Bonus which pays $10 for winning with ANY 7-2 (walk in the big blind does not count, chopped pots don't qualify) and if you win with 7-2 CLUBS♣️ you get a shiny $25 Green Chip bonus. Most people play 7-2 CLUBS ♣️ like it's aces and consider it a bad beat if they lose.
If you're interested in playing bigger games like $2-5, $5-5, or $5-10 send us a text at 917 586 2238 and we'll put you on the list for when those games are happening.
-Rake: LOWEST in NYC: 10% to $12 for $1-2 NL. We've had a game for 13 years by keeping costs low while providing a high quality experience.
-New in 2024: BOMB POTS
Bomb pots have taken over the poker world recently, and we at the Williamsburg Poker Club are big fans. The reason is simple: more action, more strategy, more enormous piles of chips in the center of the poker table. For those who don't know, a BOMB POT is an OPTIONAL, semi regular table event where all participants put in a prefixed amount, usually $5 or $10 for $1-2 NL, and go directly to the flop, without pre-flop betting. That sounds pretty normal, but wait! There are TWO BOARDS in most scenarios. These pots encourage players to learn new games like Pineapple and PLO, and to understand the games they know like Texas Holdem, in an entirely new way, as a split pot game.
Here is our BOMB POT structure:
7-10 Players dealt in: $5 each
2-6 Players dealt in: $10 each
Triggers:
-3 to a Flush on FLOP: Double Board NL Holdem
-3 to a Straight Flush on board: Single Board PLO
-3 of a Kind on board: Double board Crazy Pineapple
-3 to a Royal Flush on board: Double Board PLO
-DINING OPTIONS
We try to offer the best food, snacks, drinks and service of any game in NYC, so if you have particular dining requirements (Vegan, Kosher, etc.) Please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you. If you have a particular brand of beer or other alcohol you enjoy, let us know and we'll see what we can do. Cannabis: just ask one of the staff, no need to BYOB, we are generous with whatever we have in our dedicated smoking lounge.
-INCLUSIVE, RESPECTFUL, FUN
Everyone is welcome with open arms, and unlike many other games in NYC where you'll see tantrums and squabbles at the table, players are expected to be on their best behavior at the Williamsburg Poker Club. We maintain a sense of decorum and good poker etiquette is required if you want to be invited back. Be respectful of your fellow players, get to know them, and some jovial trash talking will be taken in stride. It's a poker game, not a monastery, so you can cut loose and have fun, just make sure it's in a respectful way.
KEEP GOING
The future of our game is looking brighter than ever after 13 years of continuous operation in the Williamsburg Brooklyn area. If you haven't been by a long time, send a text to 917 586 2238 and check in with us, you can drop by and see how our game and our players here have changed (yet stayed the same), on any of our regular nights - Monday, Thursday and Saturday.
Thanks to all Meet-up members for making our game a resounding success. Hope to see you on the felt soon!
