The Lodge Card Club
Austin’s streaming powerhouse with soft Texas action.
The review
The Lodge turned Austin into a live-poker destination almost overnight, thanks to a streaming operation that funnels recreational money to the tables. The cash games run deep and soft, the promotions are generous, and the room itself is purpose-built and comfortable.
As a Texas members’ card club it charges time and membership rather than a pot rake, which can actually work out well for winning players. There is no online or crypto element — this is a destination you travel to — but for live value in the States it is near the top of our list.
