Comment	Hi. So I play in the nuts league. Some venues do both nuts and redtooth at the same time (they work pretty much the same). So, if you google nuts poker, click on the "league tables" card and select local leagues, select your national region then your local region and it will give you a list of all the venues in that area including what nights they play and you can click on each venue to see a list of people who have played at that venue this season. You don't play for money, you pay an entrance fee, my venue is £11. This covers £5 for the prize pot, £2 to the league, £2 to the venue and £1 to the tournament director. The extra £1 goes into a pot for the best hand of the night. We regularly have 16-24 players so it can be worthwhile. But every venue is different. We start at 8pm, starting with 5K of chips, blinds start at 25/50 and increase every 15 mins. Half time (with food supplied) at 9pm and the game normally wraps up between 10:15-11pm. You get points for attending and the top 8 get more points depending on how many players there are and finishing position. Each venue has a "red line" and players above this line get invited to the regionals at a local casino at the end of the season (every 3 months). Do well and you can go to the nationals. As more players go out over the course of the night there will be a table set up for a "cash game" but it's not playing with actual cash. It's £5 buy in (with rebuys until a certain time) and prizes for top 3.
