Title: Leeds Poker Scene
Post by: Acidmouse on October 02, 2012, 01:49:12 PM
A few of my mates are looking to play in a semi frequent MTT around Leeds, roughly £10-£30 buy in.

TBH the actual comp is secondary we just want somewhere to have a relaxing time and enjoy ourselves without people taking is as the world series..

Not been played comp in leeds since sky tour 18months ago (i remember coz daughter was born and I met Teekay).

Alea is still my favourite place to play. Nice group of people. Comps don't get huge amounts of runners but they don't finish at silly o clock either which is a good thing IMO.

I think Friday is £30+£10 bounty. Any other night is safely within your budget I believe.

It's ok, I can't even remember the last time I played in Leeds and I live no more than 2 miles away. What's the grosvenor like these days, still terrible?

Tournaments don't seem anything special but they're usually running a final table if I stumble in at midnight for some cash. Not sure what the tournaments actually are though. Probably £10 second chances or something like that.

Yeah, Leeds doesn't know what "double chance" actually means.

Alea scam, pretty sure the boss used to work at Moortown :)

Update: Infact I know him he indeed worked at Moortown lives close coz he attends the catholic church there. Sad times.

I liked him alot, he seemed nice fella. Why pull a stunt where it was obvious scam?

Yeah I always got on with him too. Was actually wondering the other week why I'd not seen him for so long. I guess that answers it! Pretty stupid way to try and steal cash it has to be said.

Must be wrong

19 isnt even near 8

also no one is that stupid. the stunt was so badly thought out

Also Strange payout 31k

max bet i assume is 1k? or 500

2k straight up is 72k (1kx2 +)

1k straight up is 36k (500x2)

Just past moortown and there are people gutting out the old casino. Wonder if this means a new one opening or just a cafe/food place?
