As a general rule, there are very few Cardroms which specifically cater for beginners, though some take care of them better than others. Please PM me, on the blonde PM Service & I may be able to assist. Welcome to blonde. Title: Re: Best beginner venue in London?

Title: Re: Best beginner venue in London? Post by: Claw75 on May 27, 2007, 05:02:06 PM If you just want to get experience of playing live in a beginner friendly environment, you could try one of the non gambling pub leagues. I'll PM you details of the one I go to, not sure if the link will allowed.

Title: Re: Best beginner venue in London? Post by: Graham C on May 27, 2007, 10:02:16 PM it's in the secret forum - can't you access it ?
Title: Re: Best beginner venue in London? Post by: tikay on May 27, 2007, 10:03:35 PM it's in the secret forum - can't you access it ? There is a secret room? The buggers never told me. Hmph. Title: Re: Best beginner venue in London? Post by: Snatiramas on May 27, 2007, 10:06:10 PM Just a thought and I know that plenty will not agree but I learnt from Day1 at Luton which even for the rookie night which was a £10 rebuy was considered fairly tough. I would have to say in my own case that it was probably the best mistake I made as I learnt more from the likes of Willie Tann, Steve Templeman and other players of a similar standard than I might have otherwise have done. That being the case depending on where you are in London your choices are pretty good. I would be pleased to give you my opinions if you pm me. Of course what suits one does not suit all. wherever you decide to go I wish all the best.
