I have looked into this before but the pubs near me that were involved were not pubs that I would really want to be spending too much time in.
I'd like to see a poker room at the back of my local Betfred.
I guess they are not licensed for it but pubs are?
I gave up playing other pub poker leagues because it was too much commitment to travel and thus limit drink in order to play regularly enough to make a good league position.
