NO LIMIT TEXAS HOLD-EM*
with Poker Academy and Claudia Chinello
23 November 2026 ➔ Zurich, 6:00PM CET ➔ English ➔ €200
THE WORKSHOP
Poker is about more than the cards in your hand. It is about reading situations, making decisions without having all the information and knowing when to show what you are thinking.
In this beginner-friendly workshop, you will learn the basics of No-Limit Texas Hold’em and explore what happens when you sit down at the poker table. How do you make decisions under pressure? How much do you reveal without saying a word? And when does a poker face actually help?
THE DETAILS*
-
By the end of the workshop, you will know the basic rules and strategies of No-Limit Texas Hold’em and have everything you need to play a game yourself.
Along the way, you will also get a closer look at how you make decisions, react under pressure and communicate without words. You will explore when it makes sense to manage your emotions and when showing them can work in your favour.
-
You will spend most of the workshop at the poker table. Short introductions give you what you need to get started, followed by hands-on exercises where you learn by playing.
You will make decisions, observe other players and pay attention to your own reactions. Short discussions throughout the session connect what happens at the table with situations you might recognise from everyday work and life.
You’ll learn by playing, making decisions at the table and reflecting on what they reveal about the way you think and act in business.

The Workshop
You rarely have all the information. Not at the poker table, and not in business.
In this beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll learn how to play No-Limit Texas Hold’em while taking a closer look at the way you make decisions. You’ll play, observe, take risks and see how you react when the outcome is uncertain.
Along the way, you’ll explore what your behaviour at the table can tell you about business. When do you trust your instincts? How do you read the people around you? What do you reveal without saying a word? And when is a poker face actually useful?
No previous poker experience needed.
The Details
You’ll learn by playing. Short introductions to the rules and strategy are followed by hands-on rounds at the poker table, so you can put what you’ve learned into practice straight away.
By the end, you’ll understand the basics of No-Limit Texas Hold’em and be able to play independently. You’ll also leave with a better understanding of how you make decisions with limited information, respond under pressure and use non-verbal communication in business.
