Poker Experience

Poker as networking and team development

Poker as a professional development tool for managers and middle management

Understand through play. From the moment we are born, we learn through games. Playfulness is conceived from our biological and cultural function. The way games have the capacity to enlighten our day to day life through motivation and give it extra emotion is astonishing. Johan Huizinga said that, in addition to homo sapiens and homo faber, human beings are also homo ludens.

At Casino Cirsa Valencia we take advantage of our experience with gambling to innovate and open up the dynamics of a poker game and bring it closer to the business world. We turn it into a training and/or incentive tool for companies. And we do it with a product that is innovative in its form and tremendously effective in its substance. The Poker Experience activity uses the Texas Hold’em variant as a vehicle for socialising, learning and having fun.

The fascination that Texas Hold’em exerts on the general public is due to the intelligent use of the different tactical elements that, when explained well, it allows similarities to be drawn into the business world and the skills or soft-skills that are acquired at a poker table.

Throughout the session, we analyse the hands played in order to link them to certain corporate skills, such as analytical capacity, a panoramic vision of the business, decision-making in changing VUCA environments, self-control, budgetary control, analysis of positions of strength in a negotiation, emotional intelligence, knowledge of competitors, creativity or the search for common objectives (in the case of a team tournament).

Each player learns from an expert which elements of poker they can apply in their professional life.

However, you don’t need to know how to play poker to benefit from this experience. The activity begins with a simple explanation of the rules of the game and the handout of the possible move sets of the table.

After a couple of test hands, where the players observe their behaviour and attitudes of the other participants, a tournament begins where each player will learn from an expert which elements of poker can be applied in their daily professional life. And in each “hand analysis” we explain behaviours and attitudes, conscious or unconscious, that affect daily performance.

All this in an environment that is usually new to the participants, which is useful to take them out of their comfort zone. In a Casino Cirsa Valencia Poker Experience session you will have your own table and professional dealer, as well as the expert who directs the game and the skills analysis.

Poker as a training tool is an exclusive Casino Cirsa Valencia product that no other casino in Spain offers. It is the result of bringing the vision of marketing and product innovation to a highly regulated environment, where the options to innovate in core are limited by the Public Administration.

Success has been resounding.

Strategies and Motivation

Numerous HR departments of large companies, commercial teams or SMEs have perfectly understood the added value of this activity and have requested it in order to train their managers and middle management. Some have found new sales strategies and commercial actions in the same game; others have strengthened their staff and have motivated them to face future challenges.

All the teams have had fun as if it were on a holiday, but the value added can be seen in the participants in several aspects: they have learnt to simultaneously consider short- and long-term aspects of a company. They have had to work patiently, considering rational criteria rather than the emotional aspects while their decision-making. They have adapted themselves to the continuous change of the environment as a method of personal or their company’s survival, and, they even had to invest time and budget wisely, in order to maximise the returns of their investments.
