Calling all UK players; A few of us will be at Dusk Till Dawn poker room in Nottingham on Friday 30th May. Either to play cash games or the tournament.

Tournament is £75 + £10 FO usually about 100 heads, 6k guaranteed.
Cash games are 0.5/1 and up, with a pretty good rake for a live room.

Check out the website: http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/

If you haven't been before you'll need to register online first, also you'll need to bring passport/driving license and abide by the dress code. You can also buy-in for the donkament online.

A good time was had by all last time, so come along! Wheeeeeee

30th May, gogogogo! (Me and Badgers fo'sho so far)

Might come up for the weekend, any recommended hotels that aren't too pricey?

Last time I just played the donkament, then cash until it closed at 6am and got the first train back. Taxi stayed in a hotel though - not sure how much it cost him.

pretty gay schedule.
Ill probably be able to make it for opening time (6pm yeah? correct me if im wrong)
Ill need to coerce my boss into it, but as the Stanley cup final is approx this time ill be off most than likely.
But lastest train back is 10:22 pm so im leaving at ten.

After last meeting, is it worth me coming for 4 hrs of cash games?

Yeah opens at 6pm. Cash games were soft 0.5/1 and 1/2. If you wanted to play higher, those games probably start later on.

hmmmm, thinking back last time, the other guys got called to the tourney at 7.15, (this is after it opened at 6 tho) so i wandered upto the cash tables then, and they had one 0.5/1 game going and that was it, I think the next table to open was also 0.5/1, after that a lots others opened as all the tourney donks crashed out. That was a thursday tho, and the dealers say they're busier fri & sat obv.

Anyways, I'm gutted, I cant make it, am moving house that weekend, crap.
