Another way to find local poker games is on Meetup, a site that brings people of similar interests in a local area together.

Home Games is a tab in the PokerStars client, allowing you to create private tables and play with your friends. It takes the form of a private, invitation-only club. You can play both for real money and for free with play money. As of 2024, Home Games is by far the best place to play with your friends.
