If you're looking for a friendly home poker game where having a laugh is almost as important as winning the big pots, then this would be the place for you.

Friendly players, small stakes, big ears. Stoke Poker - 'The home of Poker in Stoke on Trent'. Initially (back in August 2004) this website was just set up to gather details of anyone who might be interested in playing live poker regularly in and around Stoke, but it's rapidly transmogrified into a very slick poker website. They play online too. Run by Chris Newman. Windrush Valley Card Club - do you live in the Cotswolds and play poker?

Not everybody lives in London (well, it would get a bit crowded) and finding a good home poker game outside of our Nation's glorious capital isn't the easiest thing in the World. I remember once trying to find a home poker game in Abergavenny and getting flashbacks of that bloke trawling his local Red Light District getting slapped in the chops every 5 minutes asking if anyone 'did' Pot Noodle. I hate to think of you lot going through that, so instead of watching the finals of 'American Idol' tonight I thought I'd knock up this little section of the site to spare your red cheeks and shoe leather! You're bloody welcome.
