No-limit hold’em
The default. Nine-handed, with a shorter six-handed game on Sundays.
The room
Four tables, and no screens on the walls.
A former film distributor’s office on the fourth floor. We kept the posters, the parquet and the ceiling height, and took out everything that beeped.
Pot-limit Omaha
Four cards, more decisions, less patience required at the bar.
Dealers’ choice
The dealer picks from a short list: hold’em, Omaha, stud, draw. Regulars only.
How the floor works.
No members’ list on the door
Seats are held until fifteen minutes after the advertised start, then they go to whoever is waiting. There is no queue app and no reservation fee — you call the room, or you turn up.
Chai, water and something fried at the break are on the house. The bar takes cards, but the tables do not: chips only, from the desk.

House rules.
Printed by the door, enforced at the table
No phones at the felt
Screen down, face down, off the table. Take calls by the bar.
One conversation
Two people talking is a room. Six is a market.
No advice unless asked
Nobody wins a hand because you explained it afterwards.
Lose a hand, deal the next
Every time. It keeps the game moving and the room polite.
Cards speak
No mucking disputes. The dealer’s reading of the board is final, and then we move on.
No coaching across tables
What happens at table two stays at table two.
One drink, one hand
The bar is generous. The floor is not. Slow down or sit out.
Leave quietly
Win or lose, the room closes at two. Nobody gets an audience.
