The Vic Casino, London

edited November 2010 in Poker Chat
I was in London at the weekend for my dads 60th, I arrived early and had a couple of hours to kill so I found the Vic in Edgeware Road.
I was so impressed.  Loads of cash tables running on a Saturday aftyernoon, ranging from £1/£1 to £25/£50.

The casino`s I`m used to up north dont have cash games running until enough ppl have donked out of the evening mtt, and even then theres 1 or 2 only.

Do any of you go there on a regular basis?  Its a long way for me to go, but its only 2hrs on a train to euston which I get free anyway, so I reckon I will be visiting there more often.

Also, its the fist time Ive seen someone get a massage at the poker table..... some massive fat greek/turk guy whose love handles were wobbling round all over the place.  Made me lol a lot.

    I've played at the Vic a few times, can't really comment on cash though as I've only played cash there once - I'm pretty much a tournament player.

    I really like it, but some of that might be sentimental reasons as it was where I played my first live tournaments.

    Yeah I've been there a few times, the Empire in Leicester Square is better value though imo, especially on weekend nights when you have loads of massive calling station fish around. And there's massages there too lol! But theres less choice of blind levels that at the Vic, normally just £1/£2, £1/£3 and £2/£5 IIRC.

    Also the Fox Poker club has recently opened on Shaftesbury Avenue.

    Again I can't really comment on the 'quality' of the cash specifically, but the club itself is very nice and to my tournament players eyes the cash looked good - definitely worth checking out if you want to try and find out which is best.

    The games are very good at the vic.  I try to get up there once/week.  1/2 is good but 1/3 is a far better.  Get used to loads of casual racism tho from everyone except the English guys its hilarious.
