Simply create an account on our website. You must attach your resume: we have strong connections with trading companies and your resume will be included in the resume booklet we present to our sponsors. If you do not have a resume, please contact poker-exec@mit.edu, and we can work with you to create one. Once you create an account on our website, you are officially a member of the MIT Poker Club! If you do not have a PokerStars username, you may leave that signup field blank temporarily (it is required for participating in the SIG Main Event Series and any online tournaments)
General members can attend our events, such as GBMs (general body meetings), tournaments, and talks. Committee members are officers that help organize these events, and are expected to attend and help out at all events. We hold weekly meetings to discuss logistics for upcoming events, plan future events, and decide the general direction of the club. Afterwards, we typically spend some time playing poker together, with an emphasis on discussion and learning. In addition, this year we will hold weekly workshops for new and old committee members alike to get a solid foundation on the decision making analysis behind poker. The committee application for the 2018-2019 school year has been closed and was due on Saturday, September 15th, at 11:59PM. After each event, current committee members will be hanging out to answer any questions, so please feel free to talk to us to learn more about our experiences in the club and display your interest in the club!
Please sign up to become a member! We welcome anyone to attend Poker Club events. However, you must be a member to attend our GBMs and SIG Main Event Series and be eligible to win prizes.
The SIG Main Event Series is a triannual invitational poker tournament organized by SIG. The Fall Main Event will be held on Saturday, September 22nd! The fall tournament is exclusive to MIT students. Stay updated on our Facebook page for more information. In order to qualify for the SIG Main Event, you must first become a member. Then, participate in one of the two online qualifier tournaments held on PokerStars. We will email out more logistical details soon. Typically, the top 40 in each qualifier will be invited. The Fall Main Event qualifiers are scheduled for Sunday, September 16th and Tuesday, September 18th, from 8-11PM on each day.
If you are interested in learning more about sponsoring the Poker Club, please contact us at poker-exec@mit.edu. We can send you the official sponsorship package, which details the different levels of sponsorship and company benefits for each level. For logistical reasons, we have closed sponsorships for the 2018-2019 school year, but we would be more than happy to discuss future sponsorships.
The resume book will be ready by the end of September or beginning of October, after we compile all of the resumes from new/returning members. We will reach out to each company at that time to email out the resume book. If there are any issues or you have any concerns, send an email to poker-exec@mit.edu.
