What You're Driving To
Pro Dealers. Real Card Room. No Gimmicks.
Pro Dealers
Trained dealers running real procedure on every hand — clean decks, proper shuffles, clear announcements, and fair play. No "deal it yourself," no fumbled side pots, no chip math arguments at 1 a.m.
Real Card Room
A legal private club operating under Texas Penal Code §47.02, with a secure cash cage and cameras on every table. This isn't a back-room game in somebody's living room — it's a card room built to be one. How it's legal →
No Gimmicks
Transparent tournament structure posted every time. Clear stakes on the cash tables. Walk-ins always welcome. No surprise fees, no mystery rules, no moving goalposts when you sit down.
Smaller Field
Four tables, forty seats. Faster seating, shorter waits, and regulars who know your name by the second night — not a number on a 200-seat casino floor.
Local Owners
Mike & Ike are on-site most nights. The buck stops with people you can shake hands with — not a shift manager and not a corporate hotline. Meet the owners →
Two Games Nightly
Texas Hold'em and Omaha cash games every night we're open. Hold'em tournaments Wednesday at 7 PM and Saturday at 6 PM. Cash games →

Inside The Room
What The Room Actually Feels Like
Four tables, forty seats. Professional dealers on every hand. Regulars who know your name by the second night, and owners — Mike & Ike — on-site most nights to greet you at the door and settle anything that comes up.
The tournament structure is posted plainly and runs the same way every time: $60 buy-in / 18,000 starting chips, unlimited $40 rebuys (18,000 each) until the break, a $40 add-on at the break for 20,000 more chips, an optional $20 Last Longer, and an optional $5 High Hand. Hold'em tournaments Wednesday at 7 PM and Saturday at 6 PM.
Cash games run every night we're open — Texas Hold'em and Omaha, side by side. Find your seat, sit down, play your game.
