Poker Evening in Valencia

Enjoy a 3 hour private poker tournament run for you by Senor Stag in a central Valencia bar. For poker 1st timers as well more experienced players, this is a great value way of firing up the competitive spirit in the stag group with the ultimate strategy game of them all.

To start with, your Senor Stag guide will meet you at your central accommodation and take you to a central bar where you will have a private area roped off for you. Included is a welcome drink on the house, but we recommend keeping the mind sharp and the drinks non-alcoholic (ish!) if you´re to stand a chance of winning the poker tournament.

Your poker croupier will spend the 1st 30 minutes going through the basics of how to play Texas Hold 'Em poker, along with how the tournament will work. Experienced players should help the poker 1st timers to understand how to play as well at this stage.

The tournament will then start with everyone receiving a pile of chips to play with. The tournament will last 3 hours, with extra chip buy-in allowed in the first hour, and the ante (min bet) going up every 20 minutes to increase the pressure and squeeze out those conservative players! During the tournament, a table service will be available so that drinks can be ordered, and smoking can be enjoyed whilst playing as well.

At the end of the tournament, a 2 man show down will ultimately result in a winner who will receive a prize along with the smug smile on his face for the rest of the evening. For legal reasons, Senor Stag can not allow any money to be played for. However, this doesn't stop you as a group of friends running your own "poker pot" on the side.

This has gone done really well with previous groups, and it´s surprising how often the poker rookie wins in the end - beginners' luck or a quick learner?! A good time to run the poker tournament is from 17.00-21.00, filling that twlight gap before restaurants open in Spain where many a stag group has come unhinged by drinking too soon before the nightlife begins.

Options afterwards include enjoying the Senor Stag Fiesta, or even continuing the Casino Royale theme with a trip to the casino (with dinner included). All this and more can be arranged by Senor Stag in Spain - please just ask.
