Title: Live 1/2 - 2/5 cash poker in London this afternoon??? Post by: arbboy on March 29, 2014, 12:21:12 PM Where is the softest game going to be this afternoon (3-9pm) in central london for these kind of stakes? Vic? Hippo? Empire? Elsewhere? Closest decent game to Victoria station would be fine. Not a London reg at all but down here for the weekend with the missus and she is busy til 9pm.
Thanks in advance. Title: Re: Live 1/2 - 2/5 cash poker in London this afternoon??? Post by: luther101 on March 29, 2014, 02:35:58 PM Aspers - and don't forget to put on your best Cockerneeee accent ..... cos yer gonna be an Eastender for the afternoon.

Hippo might have a deepstack 1/2 game going.

Hippo might have a deepstack 1/2 game going. Choose Hippo. Played in a great deepstacked 1/2 game where most punters were sitting at least £800 deep. 7 or 8 games running on a Saturday afternoon which was pretty good all 1/2 games some a lot deeper than the others. Dealers great, valets great. Did my nuts set over set to book a losing session. Only weird spot was going to the cash desk to get a grand off my debit card which i assume in London is pretty standard. Cashier asked me to set my maximum daily limit for my card which i just casually said '£5k' not thinking it would be an issue. Casino manager called and forms to fill in including asking my occupation 'professional gambler' was my honest response which i didn't think would cause any concern which resulted in the manager asking to prove to me i was a professional gambler as he didn't recognise me or know me. I said 'how many professional gamblers do you know in England and how would i go about proving to you i am and what difference does it make anyway as all i want to do is take some cash off my debit card' He said its just company policy sir for debit card transactions of £1k or higher. He said i will only be able to authorise a £2k max withdraw from your card daily because you can't prove you are a professional gambler. Totally weird situation which i have never encountered before in any UK casino when withdrawing cash from my debit card. If you do go in there to use your debit card i would probably suggest doing it for less than a grand to avoid this issue. ty for your responses. |
