- Variants include Texas Hold'em, Omaha, and Seven Card Stud
- Dealers manage the rotation and keep the pace steady
- Sessions are designed for players who enjoy variety without tournament pressure
Structured Nights
Friday nights follow a structured tournament-style format with timed levels and a clear progression through the evening.
- Players begin with the same starting stack
- Levels increase at regular intervals
- The format rewards consistent play over the full session
Open Live Sessions
Saturday nights are open live poker sessions where players can join a table, take a break, and return as the evening unfolds.
- Tables are managed by the card room staff
- Seats are available on a first-come basis
- The atmosphere is focused but unhurried
The Room
A Focused, Comfortable Room
On poker nights, the card lounge is arranged for concentration and comfort, with low lighting, felt-covered tables, and staff who keep the evening moving.
Tables are spaced to allow quiet conversation and clear sightlines. The room uses warm, directional lighting over each table, and background music is kept low so players can focus.
Conduct
Playing with Respect
Poker nights at the venue are built on mutual respect and a shared commitment to fair, focused play.
- Players are expected to act in turn and avoid slow play
- Phones should be silenced at the table
- Staff may ask disruptive players to take a break
- The venue does not tolerate abusive language or behaviour
The Restaurant
Dinner Before or After the Game
The restaurant at Poker Colonya Pollobay is open during poker nights, offering a quiet place to eat before a session or between hands.
The menu is designed to be unobtrusive and quick to serve. Players can order at the table or dine in the restaurant area, and the restaurant never interrupts the flow of a live poker session.
