Starting 3pm Saturday August 16, 2025 and continuing each 3rd Saturday at 3pm in September, October, and November. Each 3rd Saturday of the month at 3pm we will hold a WSOP / WPT practice tournament. 1st through 4th place will be awarded points each month. The person having earned the most points by November will win the Grand Prize of a $500 buy-in to either the World Poker Tour Championship being held at the Wynn Las Vegas in December 2025 or the World Series of Poker being held at the Horseshoe Casino June 2025.

Beginner players or 1st time players should come at 7pm for Poker 101 ($10 lesson, must RSVP by text to 252-508-9114). Regular or advanced players who don't need beginner lessons should come at 8pm.
We are located at 552 3rd Ave, Fairbanks, Alaska 99701 (downtown, across from Bahn Thai). You can call or text us with any question at (252) 508-9114.
Practice lessons or social game will be available after the 8pm free game. Unlawful gambling is not allowed. Social games are legal in Alaska. Illegal gambling occurs when the casino or house takes a "rake", which is a percentage of the pot. By raking the game, the casino or house profits from the betting and it is unlawful gambling. Casino's might take 5% of the amount players wager each hand, for example. This fee is the cost the casino charges to run the game. FBX Poker School does not charge participants to play poker or to run the game. Anything of value players stake in the game is lawful if it is between the players (social game); such lawful gambling is of no consequence (or profit) to the Poker School. FBX Poker School charges a fee for live lessons regardless of whether something of value is used in the game or not.
