Poker only takes a minute to learn, and we would be happy to teach you at one of our venues! You can also go online and play for free to practice, plus read up on the rules in our Rules & Etiquette section. You should also read 'Robert's Rules of Poker', as these are the most widely used, publicly available set of standard Texas Hold'em rules.
