Larson/Liam/Slipwater - Genting Casino, Glasgow, Feb 1st...

In Response to Larson, Liam, and Slipwater's Glasgow Tour...:
Larson7 , liamboi11 , and I have been throwing about the vague idea of hitting the Alea Casino in Glasgow one weekend for a while now, but the idea came up in the chat box again in the early hours of this morning when the three of us were alone on a 20NL MasterCash table. Now, disregarding the fact that Larson was out of his depth at that level, Liam and I have decided to bring him along anyway, if only to show him how it’s done. So, I thought this thread could be a place for us to finally hammer out the details, to stop it from never going ahead, and perhaps also for some suggestions beyond us obviously crushing the cash tables.   Should we sit at three separate tables in order to maximise profit and eliminate the potential for stacking each other (or is this part of the appeal)?   Are there any tournaments on that we may want to factor in? Or indeed, do we just want to get drunk and play some high stakes PLO, because that game starts to make sense when you’re inebriated?

    Surely the prospect of stacking Henrik means you'd want to sit on the same table no?

    Right enough, Divs - I forgot you were a relative local. The other stooges may be a little awestruck if someone of your calibre pitched up ;)

    is the invitation open to anyone to join in the area???

    in the alea there is normally 1 or 2 cash tables depending on volume,min £40 1/2 blinds and an omaha table. there is normally a tounrnament every night starting around 8.30 although i have been and cashed a couple of times i prefer the gentin for mtt's although there poker room isnt as nice i feel its a better game and better value in the gtd prize money.

    the merchant city (gala) has a fantastic poker room set up but not sure what the cash games are like.

    what about phoning and trying to organise a table for just yourselves as a sky poker cash night at the table where some more of the players from the area could join.   would be nice too meet and play live with some of the people i have met recently on the forums.  think something like this would be really enjoyable.

    hey chris the more the merrier we don`t know exactly what we are doing yet but last time we spoke I suggested an all day,night and morning session lol.

    yeah I prefer genting for mtts and cash games are quite good also they do one round holdem then 1 round omaha and they do 50nl+ tables.

    but the alea is more open to some good food places,the poker is decent too think on sat at 4pm is a deepstack then cash games are always juicy from what i`ve seen and to top it all off a lot of people go to alea after night out so some attractive ladies may attend which means me can send slipwater to do work his magic and we may get some female company which is always a bonus :)

    DTM more and welcome too buddy and I know what you mean by value why you think i`m hangin around with them all day it`s not because they are kool :)

    Of course, actually getting to the Alea was an absolute nightmare! Glasgow's street network is not conducive to safe and/or speedy arrival.
