The University will feature poker comedian Roger Rodd – to provide a little levity to the proceedings – but will also be an intensive training course for newcomers to the world of poker as well as those intermediate players who need a little brushing up on their skills. At our University of Poker, the Commerce Casino mixes first-class instruction with laughs and there is no intimidation whatsoever. “Since people want to learn the game, we decided to offer instruction to them for free. “Our switchboard receives at least a handful of calls every day from people asking if we will teach them to play poker and asking what it costs,” Dave Mosikian, the Commerce Casino’s Player Relations Manager, told Poker News Daily.
The genesis of the idea came from incoming calls to the Commerce, which features all disciplines of poker spread over its 260 tables. On November 4th, Commerce Casino will open the doors to its “Commerce Casino University of Poker” (CCUP). The world’s largest card room, Los Angeles’ own Commerce Casino, is looking to change that notion. While you can learn the game of poker by playing online for free, no-cost poker seminars held in casinos to teach new students about poker are often unheard of.
