Formed in 2002, Warwick Poker Society (WPS), AKA Poker Soc, https://yesimaksoy.com/ is the UK’s largest university Poker Society and one of the most active societies on campus with over 100 players every week and an active alumni community with over 2000 members.When do we play?Our regular schedule consists of cash games every Monday from 5pm, and a tournament followed by cash games every Wednesday from 5pm during term time.The fun doesn’t end when term is over! During the holidays we play online cash games as well as online tournaments. Although, there isn’t an official schedule as these games depend on demand, but they usually run weekly.What games do we play?The format we most commonly play is Texas hold'em. We play both cash games and tournaments. Cash games vary in stakes ranging from 1p/2p and upwards. We try and run any game there is interest for, although there is no guarantee that every stake will run. The most common stakes are 5p/10p and 10p/20p and these will run every session.We also run live tournaments with varying formats. In the past these have included the: Freshers Tournament, £5 NLH, £10 NLH, tag team, bounty, mystery bounty, Win the Button, Heads-Up, Freezeout, Shootout, Sit & Go’s, and our flagship event taking place at the end of Term 2, "The Big One".Is the society welcome to beginners?We welcome all beginners and those wanting to learn the game, there will always be an exec member who is happy to teach the game whilst you play! We are open to everyone regardless of skill level and place a great emphasis on teaching and improving our skills together as a society.What about advanced players?We welcome people of all skills level and for advanced players there is also the opportunity to represent Team WPS!We compete in inter-uni events online and around the country, most recently the UK University Poker Open, with Team WPS sending a team of five to the live final in London after a series of online qualifiers.
