Top 10 reasons to attend Mixed Game Festival X6 February 2025Poker players who love variety, strategy, and community have an exciting event to look forward to: Mixed Game Festival X, taking place from 16-20 February 2025, at Resorts World Las Vegas. This five-day festival, hosted by Cardplayer Lifestyle’s Robbie Strazynski and sponsored by the PokerGO Tour, is a celebration of poker’s most entertaining and strategic formats. Whether you’re an experienced mixed game player or looking to expand beyond No-Limit Hold’em, here are 10 compelling reasons to attend Mixed Game Festival X. 1. Experience a variety of poker games If you’re tired of No Limit Hold’em and want to test your skills in more diverse formats, Mixed Game Festival X is the perfect place to be. Throughout the festival, you’ll find dealer’s choice cash game tables featuring exciting flop games, draw games, and stud games, as well as multiple variants of Drawmaha. With limits as low as $4/8 and all variants being fixed limit, there’s plenty of mixed game action to be had for players of even the most modest bankrolls. 2. Participate in exciting mixed game tournaments Beyond the cash game action, there are two tournaments on the schedule, namely: - $300 Omaha 8/Stud 8 tournament (Monday, 17 February) - $300 H.E.R.O.S. tournament (Thursday, 20 February) Each event is scheduled to begin at noon. Dozens of players typically show up to participate, so you can be sure it’ll be a fun and competitive field, with a decent-sized prize pool to play for. 3. Grand prizes offer a shot at the big time The PokerGO Tour is sponsoring two $750 seats to the PGT Mixed Games 8-Game Mix Satellite (February 24, 2025), which could ultimately lead to entry into prestigious high-stakes mixed game events inside the PokerGO Studio. One of these seats will be awarded to the H.E.R.O.S. tournament winner, while the other will be given away through a special bounty envelope promotion at the festival. With $1,500 in added value, that makes the H.E.R.O.S. tournament that much more of a can’t-miss event. 4. Learn mixed games at free educational sessions If you want to sharpen your skills and learn new games, Mixed Game Festival X features two free instructional sessions: - Drawmaha Day (Tuesday, 18 February) – Learn the mechanics of how to play Drawmaha and its multiple variants. Lessons begin at 11am. - Women’s Wednesday (19 February) – A special stud games session in partnership with the Ladies International Poker Series (LIPS), to be led by Women in Poker Hall of Famers Lupe Soto and Jeanne David. Lessons begin at 10am. 5. Network with fellow poker enthusiasts Mixed Game Festival X isn’t just about the cards; it’s about the people. Whether you’re chatting with the poker media personalities, Poker Hall of Famers, and seasoned mixed game pros who frequent the festival, or just making new friends at the tables, this festival offers an unparalleled social experience. In effect, it’s the world’s biggest home game. The intimate and friendly atmosphere makes it easy to connect with like-minded players who share a passion for poker’s lesser-known variants. 6. Enjoy free food Aside from the cash games and tournaments, Mixed Game Festival X will also have a couple notable happenings featuring free food. These extras make the festival feel more like a community gathering rather than “just another poker event”: - Kickoff Pizza Party (Sunday, 16 February) – At noon, just as the cards begin to fly at the felt, Mulberry Street Pizza will be delivering a few boxes to the Resorts World Poker Room. It’s a chance to meet and mingle with fellow poker players over a slice of delicious goodness. - Light refreshments will be available to everyone who participates in the Drawmaha Tuesday and Women’s Wednesday educational sessions. 7. Exclusive poker merchandise and giveaways Festival attendees won’t just walk away with great poker memories. There will also be high-end merchandise and prizes given away and for sale throughout Mixed Game Festival X, courtesy of D&B Poker, RunGoodGear.com, and PokerGO. Whether you win one of the famous “blind flips” or “first player to make a wheel” giveaways or earn recognition for your play (see below), there’s always a chance to take home something special beyond other players’ poker chips. 8. Affordable accommodation options A quick internet search will reveal that mid-February is one of the most inexpensive times of the year to stay in a Las Vegas Strip hotel.

Whether you’re an experienced mixed game grinder or a newcomer to mixed games, the community is friendly, helpful, and eager to introduce more players to these exciting poker formats.
