Title: Friday Night In Glasgow
Post by: duke3016 on June 23, 2009, 21:03:18 PM
Off to Lovely Livingston on Thursday for the last go live of the rollout -- I don"t have much time but Friday night is free and if there is a game in Edinburgh I might be tempted before the hard work starts on Saturday. Any ideas ?

Think your best bet is the Circus at fountainbridge. I have a night out in town on Friday so will normally end up there later.

Hi Duke.

Here is a few scenario"s...
Scenario 1
There is a £10 rebuy on at the Maybury Edinburgh with around 70-120 players for a pot around £5K.
It is a tad aggressive but if you like Rebuy"s and a spare £100 that"s the game for you.

Scenario 2
I could pick you up and i will drive (FML) and we could go to Glasgow Merchant city and play a £30 freezeout. There are some cash tables as well.

Scenario 3
You can stay at the Bar and get bored with your own company.


PS. The game at the merchant city starts at 8:30pm. I could pick you up at 7pm
PPS. It has a BAR.

Let me know.

Freezeouts are more in line than rebuys TBH but it"s a bit of a trek for you, its a good few miles to Glasgow from Livingston.

circus in eidnburgh is a £10 rebuy too with only a 1000 chip start stack and blinds at 25/50 - usually around 30-40 players

Ger i stay in Whitburn which is about 10mins away from Livingston.
it will take us about 40mins to get to Glasgow and about 25 on the way back....

I will really look forward to the patter.

[] Ger will knock back a free lift to a poker game which includes BEER.   :o

[] What time will you pick me up Mr Thistle


;D :D

Might pop down, not sure yet. Missus is in the hospital but visiting doesn"t finish until 8pm so not sure if i"d make it down in time. I"m not a member yet either which will no doubt slow things down getting in. Do they have late reg at the Alea? If not might just pop to Merchant instead...

You don"t need to join The Alea as it has a walk-in policy. If you want to take any more than £1500 out though (figure may not be accurate), you MUST become a member first.

I knew I should have waited until the pre project meeting before committing to anything. The first phase of the Software installation will not complete until after 8:30 on the Friday (if all goes well), therefore Glasgow is off the menu. I"m gutted, damn work but it does pay my wages. 

Sorry folks but better planning next time.

No probs, cheers for info...

Might actually not make it down after all, will see how things go tomorrow.

We should defo arrange a night in Glasgow even if this one doesn"t go ahead though.
The Saturday deepstack at the Merchant looks like a good game, we should do it one time....

Totally agree mate.
Might be a bit tough with Holidays and the likes.
