Anybody get invovled in any poker clubs around there cities. I just started looking into one here in Detroit. Looks pretty Legit one time fee all prizes come from 3rd party sponsors. They claim to have a few big tournaments a year to send people to Live tournaments across the country. Just want to get some input on if these clubs are worth it or not.?

I just started playing in more tournaments in the last year wanting to improve my tournament play.

nothing around my city, am in online leagues tho.

I am interested in joining an online league. Could anyone give me some pointers on where to start looking or any suggestions of good respected leagues/clubs. Thanks

I'm in the detroit area also, I'd be interested in the details on the league you found.

Also, any live game info in general you have for the area would be cool. I've played almost exclusively online/home game so far and would like a local tourney or two for variety.

I was in a free league around my area and had a blast with it. I suppose its as good or as bad as the people organizing it, but I would imagine that even a horridly run league in your area might pay off several times over if you use it as a means to network and start/find home games.

I'm south of Detroit. One of my friends and a couple of the people he knows want to get one going. But the one builds poker tables on the side and will be making tables for a league here soon. Would love to get into one though

Hey geerussell,

I know of a couple of clubs in the area. 1 is the Metro poker Club, they had a small write up about them in Card Player Magazine they have a one time 100 fee. They do a WPT style tournament league with prizes ranging from cash to Complete trips to bigger tournaments around the US. There is also the Flint Poker club, i haven't heard much about them yet but i am playing in one of there tournaments this weekend on the 16th. When i find out more about them i will let you know. They last one is the Motor city poker club, don't have alot of info on them yet but all clubs can be found by searching either Yahoo or Google.
