with the explosion of interest in poker ( specifically texas hold 'em ) many pubs around here are now holding regular tournaments
and example would be where a fee of £12.50 is payable ( £10 to the prize fund and £2.50 to the pub )
while personally I don;t see a problem with consenting adults gambling for a few quid (as long as the stakes don't get daft ) , does anyone know if this is actually legal ?
as I understood it licensing laws allowed certain games ( poker not being one of them ) to be played for small stakes , did this change with the recent new licensing laws ?
