We Match You With the Perfect Club

Many Clubs to Choose From
In a closed, private world of app games, you have to know someone to get in. It’s not quite like a cult, but rather a diverse world of private members’ poker clubs. Each club caters to different players and has the right to admit or exclude anyone they want at any time. While this might not sound great, it really is for the greater good. Nobody likes the abusive tanker who takes chips out of the game. Nobody likes the 8/5 TAG pro waiting all night to bushwhack you with a back-raise with aces. Being private means clubs make the games and set the membership rules. We act as your personal connection to the myriad of PokerBros poker clubs. We even have our own rules and exclusivity when dealing with clubs. With our experience in the business, we know what can be problematic and who we can trust.
Club Types
PokerBros clubs have two basic types: Private, and Union Affiliated. It’s very easy to understand; totally private clubs are just like a single poker room in the world without a brand. They don’t share games or players. They often are selective about who they let in and what games they spread. Some are PLO-focused, while others specialize in NLHE.
Union Affiliated clubs share player pools with other clubs. There are also two different types of Union Affiliated clubs. The first is a private club that shares its players just for MTTs, called xMTTs when it’s a union-based MTT. This allows smaller clubs to offer players deep field MTTs, which a large percentage of recreational players are into.
The second, and most common, Union Affiliated club setup is sharing ring games and tournaments. This allows for players to settle chips with those they trust and can go to bat for them if there ever is an issue. That’s where PlayPokerBros comes in. We are the trusted agent making the connection to clubs in unions so you don’t have to worry about the chips you earned outplaying the friends of club owners in the PokerBros streets.
Settlement and Chips
Different clubs will treat players differently. Initially, you are expected to post everything before playing. You need chips already settled in a club. However, once you are known, it can be easier to just get chips nearly instantly when needed, say when you need a rebuy for an event. Poker apps are about connections and reputation. You can build this as an unknown by being active in the community, and of course, by winning. Everybody loves a winner.
Changing Clubs
Nothing lasts forever, and if for some reason the games burn out, or you are sick of grinding against certain players as if it’s Groundhog Day, you can ask us to put you in another club. In fact, it’s possible to be a member of 10 clubs if you are so inclined. Most players stick to 1 or 2, usually their favorite union for xMTTs, and the best club for ring games.
Politics
Unlike a home game, there’s no politics involved in getting your chips. You can usually get your chips right away. If a club owner asks you to wait to be paid chips you’ve won, it’s usually because of the complex dynamics of union settlements. Unions and clubs usually settle things on Monday, so sometimes if you’ve had a big Sunday, you might have to wait until Tuesday or Wednesday to get it all. Appreciate the beauty of poker players coming together to run a complex economy in a world that often frowns on the game (some would call a sport) we all love to play.
