The class is open to anyone who wants to improve their game
Live! Casino Hotel Maryland is offering a free poker class for those looking to learn the game or improve their skills. The casino, located in Hanover near Baltimore-Washington International Airport, has become a popular destination for both professional and casual poker players. On Saturday, October 19, the poker room will host its first complimentary session called “How to Play Poker,” providing an opportunity for beginners to gain valuable insight into the game.
The two-hour class will run from 10:00 A.M. to noon and will be led by an expert poker team. The session will focus primarily on Texas Hold’em, the most popular poker variation played in casinos worldwide. Attendees can expect to learn the fundamentals of the game, including betting strategies, hand rankings, and how to make decisions at the table. The relaxed setting will allow participants to practice without the pressures of a live game, helping them build confidence before jumping into real money poker.
Christopher Angelo, the director of poker at Live! Casino Hotel Maryland, emphasizes the class’s value for newcomers and intermediate players alike. According to Angelo, poker can be complex, and this lesson aims to simplify it while providing practical experience in a casino environment.
Live! Casino Maryland’s poker room is one of the largest on the East Coast, featuring 50 tables, a private bar, and even on-site masseuses for players. The poker room has earned a reputation as a top poker venue outside of Las Vegas and hosts regular tournaments, including its annual Live! Pokerfest series.
With poker’s resurgence in popularity, particularly following the COVID-19 pandemic, this class comes at an ideal time for those eager to dive into the game.
