August 2026
1. Free Tournament Offer
FBX Poker School will host a Free Tournament every Friday and Saturday at 8pm; any and all student players can enter for free
All players who text the business phone number (252-508-9114) will be given 25 starting chips; student players must text their name in order to enter the tournament
Only the 1st place winner will win a prize; the prize will not be awarded until 10pm and will only be awarded if the main practice (social) game has started with 4 or more people by 10pm
The prize awarded for the Free Tournament is personalized and determined by the amount of money the student is going to buy-in for the practice (social) game, up to $250
A student player can commit to buying in for the practice (social) game up to $250, and if the student player takes 1st place in the Free Tournament, they win the amount they committed to play for the practice (social) game, up to $250
In order to count as "committed", and thus be eligible for the Tournament prize, all buy-ins for the practice (social) game must be completed before the Free Tournament starts
If a student player commits to buying in for the practice (social) game but does not win 1st place, they do not lose any of their buy-in money; but they are still committed to playing with their buy-in chips for at least 30 minutes
If a student player wants to play the Tournament for free without committing to any buy-in to the practice (social) game, they can enter for free but they can win only the house minimum prize, which is $5 for first place
Each player can rebuy only one time for a $5 dealer appreciation fee (optional); the $5 rebuy gets the player 25 chips
There are no other add-ons or rebuys allowed
Tournament cannot start until at least 4 players are present - dealer cannot play and dealer is not counted toward the 4 players
Play starts at 8pm (or when there are 4 players) and unlimited new participants can be added until the tournament is three handed; except if a player(s) busts and this creates the final three, the busted player(s) may still re-buy if they have not done so already
Otherwise, one time re-buys are not allowed once there are only three players left
Blinds go up every 5 minutes and start at 1/2, then move up to 2/4, then 4/8, then 8/16 - doubling effectively every 5 minutes
The dealer cannot play or win the Free Tournament
Free Tournament will be canceled if it has not started by 8:45pm
1st place wins will be awarded at 10pm on the same night practice (social) game as long as the main practice (social) game has started with 4 or more people by 10pm; dealer does not count towards 4 people minimum
All prizes must be played for at least 30 minutes (until 10:30pm)
No prize will be awarded if the practice (social) game has not started by 10pm with 4 or more people
FBX Poker School has adapted Mohegan Sun Poker Room Poker Rules and will closely follow those posted rules
Dealer instructor may cancel the tournament at any time and for any reason
Any dispute will be decided by the FBX Poker School Tournament Director Nate H. unless said person is absent; in that case, disputes will be decided by FBX Poker School Assistant
