poker night
Betting card gathering
Poker night is a regular social gathering, typically among friends, centered on playing poker.
The game provides structure, but the appeal is often as much about camaraderie, drinks, and conversation as the cards themselves: Thursday is poker night with the guys.
The term evokes casual male bonding, though the tradition isn't exclusively male.
