I have seen poker lessens at various Bay Area clubs.  In the past year 
I've seen them at Garden City.  When Bay 101 first opened they had 
lessons.  I don't remember when, but some time over the years I've also 
seen them at both Artichoke Joe's and Lucky Chances.

Some of the clubs use the lessons to satisfy the "no purchase required" 
rule of their jackpot promotions by making the hands dealt at the lesson 
tables eligible to win the jackpot.
