Do you know a good poker room in London, near Gatwick airport?

[Seb86]

Victoria station, its in central london.

I would recommend the Vic, its by Paddington, on edgware road.

You can play without any problem in the Vic / the Empire and the gutshot.

Not sure if it works at night, but I took it at 6 am and 11pm.

google gatwick airport.

What stakes do you play? If you're comfortable up to Pot Limit £5/£10 then the Sunday night game at the Palm Beach used to be exceptionally good. Think a three way pot worth 400xBB where K high wins at showdown.

Seb,

Do you or anyone else know what the membership rules are like at Gutshot right now?

When I played there last year, it was just sit down and start playing.

Then the court case finally started getting resolved.

Back in September of this year it was announced on their forum that you needed to become a member, there would be a 48 hour waiting period, and you had to be nominated by two existing members.

So what's the deal now?

[Seb86]

I went there 2 weeks ago, I had to sign a paper, it didnt make me a member but gave me some kind of "daily membership" allowing me to play for the day.

It cost 3 pounds to play there, I think its for them to pay the fine they got from the governement.

Played 2 hours on a .5/1 self dealt table, no time charge. There are dealers for 1/2 and up but there is a rake.

when I was over in the spring there was a new club that had opened close to Gatwick, maybe it was called The Western? It was recommended by a few players I know but i didn't make it there. I personally like Gutshot, haven't been sicne their legal troubles. I know that there is new club called Loose Cannon as well, a quick google search will give you al the info you need.

The western is the furthest from gatwick and by far, its by heatrow tho.

I went there (totally out of the way) and I needed 2 member to introduce me and to wait 48h [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img].

Thanks, which one of those is the closest, the Vic?

[Black winter day]

Oh, and by the way, what are the clubs near the Heathrow airport as well?

Thanks, guys.

English casinos require a membership that takes 24 hours to process, so you won't be able to play if you're staying overnight.

This is not true anymore, you can join and play on the day.

Your best bet is the Vic, it's the only actual casino in London that spreads poker, the rest are all card clubs/private members clubs. I'm not a Vic regular but it will almost certainly have at least a £3/3 & a £5/5 PLH game running, plus numerous smaller stakes tables.
