— FAQ
Common questions.
Everything you need to know before your first session.
Do I need to be a student?+
Yes. Our events are for students of LMU and other Munich universities (TUM, HM, and others). If you're not a student but want to play, drop us a message — we sometimes make exceptions for friends-of-the-club.
How much does it cost?+
Nothing to play. There is no buy-in and no money on the table. Single events sometimes ask for a voluntary contribution of €5–6 at the door (snacks, drinks, equipment) — the exact amount is on that event’s page.
Do I need to know how to play poker?+
Not really. The format is No Limit Texas Hold'em — if you understand the basic rules (we have them on the Rules page) you'll be fine. We always have new players, and regulars are happy to help with the basics.
Where do you play?+
We rotate locations around Munich — usually student-friendly bars or university spaces. The exact venue is on the page of each tournament once it's announced.
What format are tournaments?+
No Limit Hold'em, Freezeout (no re-entries).
How long does a tournament take?+
Usually 3–5 hours depending on the format.
Do I need to bring anything?+
Just yourself and an ID if you're new (one-time check). We provide the chips, cards, and table. Bringing a few euros for snacks/drinks is a good idea.
How do I become a member?+
Through our WhatsApp group. That’s where events are announced, where you claim a seat and where everything else happens. Membership is voluntary and free — there is no form on the website.
