Collectible Card Games New York

Friendly live no rake $2/5 No Limit Holdem Poker! (10 players max)

**Doors will open at 6:30pm. We will start early if there are enough players.** **Everyone starts on the waitlist at first. Once you send a deposit, your lock will be locked and you will be moved to “going/attending”.** **Join us for a fun, friendly $2/5 no limit holdem game. No rake actually means no rake (no time collection, jackpot drop, etc).** **Every hour the host may introduce something to keep the game interesting (one hand of PLO every orbit, a round of bomb pots, 72 game, bounty game, standup game, etc). We will keep it friendly, we will not try to force people to play games they really don’t want to.** **We'll have some snacks/drinks but feel free to bring your own too. Hope to see you all then!** **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- IMPORTANT INFO \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** 1. **To prevent no-shows, we are asking all players to put down a deposit of $20. This will go towards a dedicated dealer. Once your deposit is received, we will move you from the waitlist to "Going".** 1. **Please send the deposit via Venmo to @jchang_nyc (https://venmo.com/code?user_id=1282062778630144421&created=1742403184, also see the QR code in the event photos). In the description, please do not put anything related to poker or gambling, a simple emoji like 🎉 is good. Include the name you use on meetup in the description so that we know who you are.** 1. **If you can't make it to the game, let us know at least 24 hours beforehand and we will send your deposit back.** 1. **We have 10 seats total. If there are no more seats, we will refund your deposit.** 1. **The game will start on time! If you are late, we will post your blinds until you arrive.** **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** **We will meet and then take a short walk over to the game location. For new players, we may request to see your driver's license or id for everyone's safety and peace of mind, so please bring it with you.** **House Rules:** 1. **Minimum buy in is $400. Maximum buy in is $1500 or half the biggest stack, whichever is greater.** 1. **Chips will be settled with cash or Venmo/Zelle/CashApp.** 1. **Bomb pots are played after each monotone flop. Players may sit out of bomb pots. If less than half the table is participating, the bomb pot will not be played.** 1. **Standard casino rules apply (verbal bets/calls/folds/raises are binding, throwing in 1 chip is a call, etc). If you are unsure, please ask for clarification before the game starts.** 1. **Any disputes will be settled by a ruling from the host, cohost, and/or dedicated dealer. If all hosts are involved in the hand and there is no dedicated dealer, then disputes will be settled by a majority vote of players not involved in the hand.** 1. **If we don't have a dedicated dealer, shuffling/dealing will rotate among players. One player will shuffle, another player will cut, and a third player will deal. So that the shuffle, cut, and deal are done by 3 separate players.** 1. **If you are not able to shuffle or deal, you can defer to another player.** 1. **If we don't have a dedicated dealer, we rely on everyone to keep the game moving smoothly! If you are in a conversation, make sure you play your hand first when it is your turn. Don't hesitate to point out where the action is or remind people about the shuffling/dealing procedure.**

NYC Dads - Game + Connection Night

Grown-man friendship is weirdly hard to find, especially once you've got kids. This is a few hours away from the caregiving, around other dads who just get it, no explaining required. Arrive in a room of fathers and men, and we'll start easy — a couple of games to knock the awkward off. Then real conversation in small groups: the kind that usually only comes out at hour three of a road trip. By the end, the goal is simple — you walk out feeling like someone actually saw you, the real you. The vibe: For dads and men of every stripe — he/him, they/them, anyone who identifies as male Dads especially, roughly 20s–40s, but open to any man wanting a real connection

Saturdays at Hugh (Hugh Is OPEN Saturdays)

Tabletop Game Night

Every Saturday night we run Games With Strangers. Grab a drink or dinner, meet some new people, and learn a new game. Our game expert will teach you our featured games for the night and introduce you to your fellow players. We run games of all levels, from the lightest of the light to the ones that need four hours and a book. Each week we feature two games. Run a kingdom, build a farm, assemble your heroes, or craft the best story, but, whatever you do, come do it with us.
