No money in bar leagues, everyone's solid :p

Seriously though, the biggest problem with bar leagues isn't just finding people who want to play, it's finding how the hell to make any money off them.  I've got some experience in this FWIW, I worked for a bar poker league 10+ years back.  Y'know, when poker was actually popular with people other than the hardcore fans of the game.  I made bugger all money from it, and I'm pretty sure the company made even less after they paid the dealers their pittance.

I've got no idea where OP (or anyone else in this thread, for that matter) is based, but in the vast majority of places you're not allowed to play poker in a bar for real money - and even if you are, you're not allowed to take a rake.

So you've either got to find some other way for the players to pay you, or you've got to have the venue pay you as some kind of entertainment expense.  It's hard to make money in either case because both have much cheaper alternatives available to them (playing in a normal casino, a home game or online, and doing just about anything else from drink specials to theme nights to just being a good bar, respectively).

So yeah - there's probably no money in bar poker.
