How To Start A Poker Club
Posted By admin On 15/04/22Follow the steps in the below images to “Register”, “Login” and “Join a Club”. Access to a real money poker club is only possible via a trusted agent like us (Somuchpoker is the 1st poker media group in Asia). Click the link below to review our PPPoker Club list and find Club IDs. We can give access to all of the clubs in the list. I am in this club as well, has to be one of the most successful universities for having a populated poker club. They do a point ranking system where you get points based on how well you do at the tournaments and the top ten at the end of the year play in a champions tournament for a trophy. They also have weekly sit n go meetings and weekly online tournaments through PokerStars Home game club. – Once you’re logged in to the main poker lobby, click on the Home Games tab. – Click the ‘Join a Poker Club’ button. – Enter your Club ID number, provided by the poker club organizer. – Enter your Invitation Code, provided by the poker club organizer. It’s as simple as that.
1) In the main lobby, select the ‘More’ menu then ‘Home Games’. If you’ve been invited to join a club, click ‘Join a Poker Club’; to start a new club, click ‘Create a Poker Club’. 2) Give your new club a name and invitation code (make sure not to include your personal password!).
My very good friend, Crystal, lives in Chicago as a writer with her two sons, Harry and Max. She wrote about starting a Ladies Poker Club when Harry was an infant. Harry is a mere one day younger than Milo and sadly they’ve never met in person. We fully expect that one day they’ll be using Crystal’s instructions in poker for their own mis-education.
Poker is not very motherly. But that’s exactly what makes it so great. Every once in awhile, it feels good to stretch outside the current identity the world has assigned to you. All those people in the grocery store line who think they have you sized up after noting your messy ponytail, baby-weight-disguising clothing, tired eyes and wee little one in hand? They may think that screams MOM, but they don’t know your secrets 🙂
So here’s how to develop your sinful side even while watching the little one:
BEFORE POKER NIGHT:
- Find your gang. To get started, you will need a group of willing ladies (at least 5), a few decks of cards and some poker chips. Emphasize that babies and nursing moms are welcome.
- Learn the rules. Even if none of the members of your Ladies Poker Club has played before, you can get up to speed in no time. Start with Little Black Book Of Poker and a kit with all the supplies. The book walks you through different poker games step by step. So what if you read from the book the first few rounds? You’ll all be card sharks soon enough.
- Make it easy. Print out some small, easy cheat sheets that give quick definitions of a full house, a straight, a flush, etc.. List the hands in order to show the best hand you can have, followed by the second best hand, and so on. The list will make it easy for newbie poker players to quickly determine whether their royal flush beats two pair.
- Really easy. Make sure the cheat sheets include a quick rundown of what each poker chip represents. (For example, white chips equal 10 cents, red chips are 20 cents)
- Set up baby areas. Erect a pack-and-play if anyone may need to nap. Make sure the poker club is a nursing-friendly zone so the moms don’t have to disrupt play by leaving the room to nurse.
- Shop for drinks. Be sure to add fun non-alcoholic beverages to the menu. Not just water. Pregnant and nursing moms will appreciate having something special to drink like a sparkling limeade or sassy tea.
DURING POKER NIGHT:
- Pass the babies around. Spread out the love so the new moms get a little break from holding the baby, or maybe just from holding THEIR OWN baby.
- Betting doesn’t have to be big. This is not Vegas. Start with $20. After awhile of playing this way, a $2 bet seems like $2,000. And it’s easier to talk smack or practice bluffing with $2 at risk instead of $50.
Take turns hosting Ladies Poker Night to spread around the work. When it’s your turn to host, don’t be shy about ordering up some pizza. At each poker club, set the next meeting date while everyone is there. It cuts down on emails later.
Have fun and enjoy the time to bond with other females while being a little bit bad. I’ve been part of a poker group that has been together for three years. We’ve had three weddings, four babies and many other life events during those three years, and the poker club has been a great escape and lots of fun.
Thanks Crystal, wish I could join you!

You can create your own ring games as well as tournaments. Just like with a real poker club members earn points based on how well they do in tournaments. These points are tracked in the club lobby.
Right now it looks like it's only available in the play money client but from what I hear and the way things appear to be set up, it looks like it will eventually be available for real money too.
Setting up Your Own Poker Club
It's pretty straight forward, first thing is log into the PokerStars.net client and click on the Home Games tab on the right.Underneat the Home Games logo are two buttons, click the one that says Create A Poker Club.
This will bring up the following window that will allow you to give your club it's name and specify the invitation code that people you invite will use to join your club. Don't forget to agree to the Terms and Conditions then click the Create Club button.
You'll be able to change the invitation code later but the name you assign to your club seems to be permanent so give it some thought before deciding on it.
Once you're club is created you'll be presented with a message that lets you know what your club id number is. That's it, you're pretty much done creating a club.
Now send the club id number and invitation code to your family and friends to sign up.
Creating Club Tables and Tournaments

Creating Club Tournaments is just as easy and you have a lot of different options available. You control the date the tournament will start, the type of game, the buy-in, the payout structure, blind intervals, starting stacks and even if it's a knockout, rebuy, shootout or regular tournament. There's also an option to have the tournament count towards the club leaderboard.
When you create a ring game table or tournament your members will receive an email letting them know that a new game has been set up, unless they disabled email alerts.
It looks like a fun new feature and might be even better once it's available for more than just play money.
