London, England Poker

basmatiwrangler · #1 06-13-2006, 12:34 AM

Going to be in London, England for a day and a half, and was thinking about playing some poker. Any suggestions on where to play? I'd be interested in finding a small buy-in PL Omaha Hi game, say 1-2 blinds. Also, I read something about casino memberships being required? Does it cost, and can I get one on the spot? Thanks in advance.

www.casinocity.com (global directory) I'm sure has some web links to the card room/casino websites that might have some of the membership information for you.

You can get membership on the spot.

Run a search for London casinos, this topic has been discussed a few times recently.

I would hasten a guess that only the Vicotria card room spreads omaha.

They sometimes have Omaha cash games at the Gutshot card room, mostly on wednesday and thursday nights I think.

Check their website www.gutshot.com for more info.

Yes, you can get membership on the spot, but you have to wait 24 hours before you can play

London B&Ms

Never been to any of them myself, but Vic is oldest/most established, Gutshot is best known new-ish and Western I hear nice things about.

Law's changed now I think, so you don't need 24 hours notice for joining (and that only applied to those classed as Casinos anyway - i.e. the Vic). Contact the individual establishments to find out the proper score, what's spread etc. I think you'll find NLHE tournies most popular, followed by NLHE cash and PLO cash.

Enjoy,

Went to the Vic a few months ago and there wasn't any NLHE available, only PLHE. There may be NLHE available at the higher limits.

try the western, the vic, or the gutshot. Not sure what nights they have cash games going but you can find all their contact info at www.pokerineurope.com.
