Poker Nation's Mission Statement

At Poker Nation, we believe that poker is a benign adult amusement, a competitive game in the ranks of pool, darts, and bowling (which are also played for money all around the world). We do not encourage "chance" gambling and strongly believe poker does not fall under that umbrella, but has merely taken refuge there for lack of a better venue to enjoy the game, and for lack of understanding of the game by those in high places.

Our mission is to provide a safe, fun place to play competitive poker (and other card games such as cribbage which are often played here), for people who want to relax, make new friends, and have a good time. While the national news media may portray private card clubs as "seedy", "underground", or unsafe, our members know that Poker Nation is an open, well-lit place, filled with upstanding citizens of the city. Among our membership are working men and women, retirees, husbands and wives with children, and college students. They are your friends, your neighbors, and people just like you -- people who just want to have a good time while playing a game they enjoy. Our social club does not provide any additional strain on law enforcement, and in fact since we are up late at night, our shopping center neighbors have enjoyed a 100% decrease in late-night burglaries of their businesses.
