midweek poker in london

[leethefish]

Hi all,

I am lucky enough to be staying and working  @ grand hotel Trafalgar square  next week !

and was wondering (be rude not to)  where i might be able to play ....having not ever played poker in London ......

what casino and which night is best ?

probably be happy with any £30-£100 freeze

thanks all in advance.

£1/£1 at The Vic, if I can beat it ( and the 10% plus extra £1 for the regulars rewards rake ) then you should have a ball.

For cash the Empire or the Hippodrome. V near you, good games.

For comps...not really my field but I would have a look at the Mint in South Ken which is a short hop down the Piccadilly line and reasonable cab back.

Isn't the Hippo £1/£2 minimum?

For tournaments, they have a £80 NO REG FEE @ the Vic every Tuesday, half decent clock & chips and always £3k+ to the winner.

The genting (mint casino) in Kensington has good cash games in the evenings, very soft, some of there tourneys are pretty decent, think its best to ring up day to day to see what's on or use the website. Card room quite nice and I like the chips & tables.

Hippodrome for cash, very soft, lots of French fishey's playing 'any ace will do', I think they have a turbo £75/100? Not 100%, think that is also on a Tuesday, maybe a Monday, again ringing before hand would be wise. I would imagine they have various other tournaments there now as they have grown as months gone by, I would also assume they get runners being they have 'stars' behind them.

From what I recall Empire doesn't have any evening Tourneys, I think they do £25-£35 day time ones (they used to), and I heard through the grapevine, there cash games have taken a dramatic hit since the opening of the hippodrome.
