Played the 100 at Alea once ages ago, but not a big tourny player and usually my end game is to win at the cash tables but i am doing my best to get back into tournies.

Oh i also play at the Gala in Dundee when i see the folks! havent seen anyoone else on this thread playing in Dundee yet!

Ive recently been playing in the g casino in dundee but dont have much time these days because of uni its getting close to exam time

whats the payout structure?

whish i had the money to play live all the time.. its a gd buzz

Top 4 pays, It is top 6 if 65+

Tonight I got to last 5 again ! But instead of washing out everyone made a deal top 2 chip leaders got £260 each and the last three got £150 each. I finished 3rd and won a seat in the "champions chair" which is free to play if you get 1, 2 or 3rd and the pot is around £2,000+

Spotted you this eve playing the £10+1+1. Would have said hello but I busted just before they condesned to 2 tables. I was on the middle one. Weak fishy guy minraises UTG, button flat calls, I'm in SB with 75s. Nice spot for a squeeze shove with ~14BB. Original raiser folded and button called with AQo, Q in the window. Must remember never to make squeeze plays at these tournaments! lol How did you get on?

Hello fellow Scots players I just want to add my name to the list Im from Stirling , actually just about 500 yards from Robert the Bruces statue in Bannockburn . Ive been playing online just over two years and stick to tournament play as that is where ive made my most profit . I would love to get involved at the casinos but with a 6 year old running about its difficult to get the time .

what's up mate? By any chance do you play any of the local leagues in stirling centre? I play wednesday nights at sportsters, but no 2 baker street has one on monday nights and i think whistlebinkies has one on tuesday night.

Unfortunately not I only play online at the moment but would like to check out some games in the pubs around Stirling . I did play in a couple of tournaments in Rileys (managed to win one) but thats about it really . I did find it strange at first playing with real cards but soon got used to it maybe I will see you around but not on Mondays or Tuesdays cause ive got darts and pool lol. What time does the poker start in Sportsters I would definately be interested in playing if its not too early a start.

Sportsters is usually wednesday nights at 7 oclock. If you meet a guy called greg there if you go thats me.

Thanks for the info I will keep this in mind but its a bit early for me to be honest . That said I could make it in during the Easter holiday for a game so heres hoping .

Hey all.

Joined just over a week ago. Been playing for a week. A little bit down, but learning. I am a mostly solid player, but i'll usually go and do something stupid which will ruin x amount of hours of good solid grinding.

If I can get that under control i'll be a pretty decent player.

Anyone play just north of Glasgow. Milngavie at the moment for me. When I used to live in Edinburgh I played some pub nights there, was decent. Pity I didn't even know about pot odds then though.
But nothing in the local area.

does anyone know what is the alea like? I am thinking about going along tomorrow for a tourney. do they have dealers or are you dealing yourself?

Tournaments are self dealt unless its a very special event.

Where do you play in Glasgow out of interest?

I'm from Glasgow as well.... started taking poker seriously in this past two weeks, my current ROI is 60.1%

Also, I'm on the verge of earning: SILVER status!

Do any of you guys play in the Nuts Poker League? I played once a couple years ago (Rafa Benitez was manager of Liverpool... I remember this because he was on the tv getting interviewed as I went out in 5th place). That was while I was making rookie mistakes such as playing too many starting hands, limping with premium cards and allowing opponents to beat my hands.

Tempted to go back with some of the pokerstrategy knowledge and give it a better crack.

Another Scotsman here. From the Borders just south of Dunbar. Although I'm studying up at Aberdeen and play the £20 freezouts at the G casino quite often, with very limited success. Also have played a bit of cash there although the blinds are a bit steep for me as a poor student!

Cheers, Swanny36.
