The Irish Amateur Poker League will begin in Galway on Monday September 21.
As a new concept in poker, the Irish Amateur Poker League is a cheap way to spend an evening without fear of losing your house. With free entry and a €10 membership per game, the Irish Amateur Poker League is aimed at all skill levels, from those wanting to learn to winning the league. The game is Texas hold ‘em, and is a double chance format meaning if you get knocked out you can buy back in for free.
