Crossing the pond... looking for poker

[tolbiny]

Going to England on friday for a week. Visit some family, eat some fish and chips, Play some poker?
Probably going to be in the London area most of the time... where's the best place to play mid limit hold 'em?

mid limit hold 'em?

I think you might need to change this part to "pot limit omaha"

There are only two places to play poker in London. The Victoria casino on Edgware Road(you must give 24 hours notice before playing here) and the gutshot cardroom in Clerkenwell (you can just turn up and play there). Neither cardroom offers limit hold'em, although there are plenty of Pot limnit games and Gutshot offers a nightly tournament (you can check the tournament schedule by going to gutshot )

I love this stuff

The Club is currently open to members only.

Membership is free.

Cracks me up.

Any 2+2ers hit up the gutshot on occasion?

[TylerD]

Its a statutory requirement for casinos to be members only establishments.

[tolbiny]

that is what i assumed, but it was still funny the first time i read it.

Have played at the gutshot twice... It's got a good atmosphere, quite friendly. Unfortunately, it's somewhat small and it can feel a bit cramped at times.
Also, there are quite a few good players playing there... hard to find fish.

I play there regularly. Very friendly club. More tournament than cash game focused.

[tolbiny]

"I play there regularly."

Looks like if i am going to be able to play it would be on tuesday night- if you're there say hello.
I'll be the early 20's american tourist check raise bluffing whenever the turn pairs the board.

I used to play a lot at Russell Square and they spread low limit holdem Friday nights. Sad ever since it closed.

Roy was the best. Anyone know what he is doing today?
