Our online pub league has proven to be a tremendous success with over 800 players playing in the weekly tournament. Players have praised the tournament for its unique concept and how well it has been structured. Poker manager of Betfred, Alex Nichols said “The Redtooth Tavern offered players the chance to get to the regional finals for free and offered a great platform for players to develop their online skills. Having personally followed the league throughout it was clear that the games were played in a great spirit and it is a testament to Redtooth and the popularity of the league that the numbers were growing week on week”.

Redtooth Tavern is an online success! continued »

After numerous levels of not seeing decent cards and not being able to steal the blinds, Brett finally looked down at Ac Jc on the big blind. There had already been a raise from the player in seat 5. Brett thought he could push the player off the pot with his all-in bet, he was wrong and the player called quickly with Qh 10s.
The flop came Ks 7d 10d…….Turn 3h……River 5s.

Brett lasted 10 hours of play and finished in 176th position but loved his time on the poker rollercoaster! He not only got to hang out with some of the UK’s best poker pro’s but got the chance to play for a share of the £100,000 prize pool…..courtesy of Redtooth Poker

Get em next time Brett!!!!

Brett has had some bad luck folks……He put a nice raise in from under the gun and only small blind called. Flop came 2c 4h 7d…Brett raised with his over pair but his opponent re-raised him, so Brett went all-in……player called in a flash. Turn card came 4c and the river came 2s.

Unlucky Brett

Brett’s stack 15.6k
Average 17k

After waiting nearly 1hr 30 mins to see a hand Brett certainly did that. Brett looks at down pocket kings once again, this time he felt he might get a customer after a raise in an earlier position pre flop……and so he did! The chips managed to go all in pre flop. Ac Qs Vs Brett’s Ks Kh……………..Flop came Qc Kd 4d…….Turn 7h…….River 10c. Brett is now stacked up at 29k.

Average stack 16k……..
222 still left in…….
