It's true.

Garden City has an instructional table several nights a week.  It's 
free, they give you some chips (actually they're old tournament chips) 
and let you play.  I forget which nights, but I know I've seen it in 
slowish times over the weekend.

If they get busy, though, that table goes away and the instructor starts 
running chips.  The instructor is a guy named George.  I've talked to 
him a few times when waiting on a game; he's friendly and seems to do a 
good job.
