Good point I forgot about that

I am not planning on playing, just that I would be passing so I was going to call in and make myself a member. Will let you know what I think of the place (if I do go).

The Alea in Glasgow apparently has some good games most nights but I"ve still not paid it a visit yet.

Further info from Gareth at Leeds Alea.....

We have a few dealers so the intention is that the latter parts of the tournaments will be dealer dealt.

We are also providing dealer dealt cash games with a rake of 10% capped at £5 on hands after the flop - discounted to 5% through September and October

thought id give you lovely people an update on this casino as i went last night...

my origional thoughts were unfounded, the casino has its own poker room away from the casino floor which holds ten tables with room for two more. it also has the potential to hold more tables in other parts of the casino if ever apat was to come calling.... des?

the place is huge its on at least three floors and very flash.

as already noted they have a decent array of tounaments... i was asking about and they got 73 for last mondays tournament and are expecting to improve on that as word gets round... all the previous runners and results can be found through a link on www.rockpokeronline.com (apparently, not checked it out yet)

oh, and if anybody is in the area they have a deepstack £150 tournament on the 1st and 2nd of nov, which looks to have a nice look to it...especially as the standard in leeds from my experience isn"t the greatest.

How late will it finish?

I am looking to start playing more live poker and this looks a perfect place as I live about 5 miles away. If not this Monday then very soon

i played the £25 triple chance on friday and it is the best poker room in leeds by far, would be awesome if they had dealers.

also helps that i chopped for £805

will be playing alot there as it is only 10 minutes from my house
Looking forward to making my first day 2

I am off work next week so I am hoping to play one night.

I don't play live (out side of APAT)

£10 double chance, is this a £20 game? Or is it a £10 game?

A £10 game. You get half your chips at the start and can take the other half when ever you want (up to normally the first 2 levels - then you get the other half whether you want them or not) I just take them all at the start, so its really a "double stack - single chance" tourney for me.

I was going to ask this question too, so the 25 pound triple chance, is this 25 pound to  play or is it run as 25 in and then up to 2 25 pound rebuys? some places do double or triple chance differently
