any truth to the rumour I heard awhile back about the Western Fairgrounds opening a room ?

that would be grrrrrreaaat

or anywhere else in London ? sad how there is not a well run room in the area

There's not? Been to the Vic? Or the Gutshot? Or the Grosvenor at Luton? I was at Luton last night, it's not huge but it's pretty well run!

sorry NOFX..... guess the title should say ONT..... not the UK...

London

Ontario

Canada



that should clear things up..

I thought it was wierd I had no idea where the Western Fairgrounds was...

Hey,

Western Fair always has poker WHILE THE FAIR IS ON....It's kinda
cheesy, though as it's only 5/10 or 10/20 Limit. I played 5/10 last
year, and the quality of play actually was decent. For 10/20, which
is what I usually play in Brantford, they only ever had one table
going at any point that I was at the fair last year, with a waiting list
at least 20-30 deep....It's also a raked game as opposed to a time
charge like they do in Brantford.

Hope that helped a bit...Maybe we can get some more London fcp'ers
and just start our own little game....

PM me if you're interested....

The only real way to get into the games is to either show up right when it starts or wait 2-3 hours for the list.

The 5/10 is incredibly easy and the 10/20 is ok when you get the right people.

I had a couple buddies who told me that have a card room at Riptides on Clarke and Trafalger.

They open tourneys for fundraising events but they supposedly have ring games going around the clock(till 2am).

I was told this a couple months ago mow so it could be total bunk but may be something you can look into.

They have their main bar and the poker is in separate room.

Best idea is probably to swing by for a drink and casually inquire the staff. I really should swing by myself but I'm unsure of stakes and really am not prepared for it.

If you anyone goes has gone, please give some extra info.

Hmm, never heard of a game at Riptides, but I wouldn't be shocked.

I would think once the fair starts, the "regulars" will I'm sure talk about where they play....I hope....We should get an FCP London drinking night together.

wow more londoners than i thought.. where's everyone from in london or area?.. i'm right by western on western road.. wharncliffe and oxford basically

Commissioners & Adelaide, right near the hospital.

Lets get a drink night, even if there are only 6 or 8 of us.
STT mania...lol

yeah i'm down for that.. we might have to start a new thread now for londoners

You mean aside from the one titled "London Fcp'ers" ? ? lol

Western Fair will be startin up soon...we should get a meet up
scheduled around that or something.
