Like any thing in live, nothing is perfect—there are always pros and flaws. That said, SMPL has far more positives than negatives. The games are well organized, and even when there’s a little chaos, it’s manageable and doesn’t take away from the overall experience. The use of two decks keeps the action moving smoothly, which makes for a more enjoyable and efficient game. The players also tend to be more serious about the game, which creates a competitive but respectful atmosphere. Overall, it’s a great place to play and continue improving your skills.

By far our favorite poker league in the Knoxville area! The directors, Randy and Janet, are truly outstanding. I started playing about a year ago, and it didn’t take long for everyone to feel like friends. The monthly themed birthday celebrations add an extra layer of fun and creativity that makes this league even more special. When I first joined, I was a pretty green player, but everyone was incredibly welcoming and generous with their advice, helping me learn the game and sharpen my skills each time I play. I’ve made some wonderful friends here and genuinely look forward to sitting at the table with them every week.
