In Manchester you have the choice of two casinos, the Grosvenor in Salford or the Stanly Circus in town. I don't know the schedule at the Stanley, but the Grosvenor has tournaments every night of the week except Saturday, where you can go in and hire private tables for £3/hr.

Both tend to be Pot Limit Rebuys, although there is a £50 freezeout once a month which I am thinking of having a go at soon.

If anyone's in Manchester drop me an email

The Grosvenor (Empire Street) in Cheetham Hill, has the same. However they do a freeroll tourney on a Wednesday. £150 for 1st place, no 2nd or 3rd place prize. On the plus side they start £5 SnG games for players who get knocked out.

I have not been myself; but a few guys from my work have been. Hoping to lose my B&M cherry on the' 26th (after pay day )

Is there anything in Edinburgh? I'm up there on business at the beginning of next month and wouldn't mind a chance to flex my poker muscles...

There is a new casino opening just off bury new road in manchester on the 29th. It will have a bar, restaurant, sports lounge (?) and live entertainment.

gcasino.co.uk for those who are interested.

Just spoken to the man at the Stanley Berkley Casino in Edinburgh.

They do Hold 'Em Tournies during the week and, with any luck, I shall be playing in the Monday £10 rebuy one. They do them on other days of the week (Weds and Fri too I think) but I shall confirm that when I get hold of fliers and complete the report.

They also do a £30 freeze-out once a month (the bloke said something about first saturday, but I could be making that up).

Membership/registration is required, but turning up before the tourney with a photo-ID is enough. No sportswear is about the only dress requirement, so smart jeans and a polo shirt are all good. Just no football/rugby shirts or trackies.

More info when I get back!
