I have been playing Texas Hold 'em for about a year now, and this league is probably the best one to play at in Maricopa County. They have 8-10 local pubs in the East Valley alone where you can play, and the events are pretty well attended and run quite professionally. It's a great venue to use as practice for money tournaments at the local Native American casinos or Vegas. Not to mention I've met & dated two cute girls from these events!
