Three In A Row?

It's bank holiday weekend and Sunday afternoon is upon me. I've had two consecutive nights of poker on the town and I'm kinda itching to get out there again tonight. With the missus being away, sunning it up in the south of France, and no work to have to face tomorrow I guess I should just go on out and take advantage innit? There's a pile of clothes to be washed but I just can't be arsed with that for the moment.

So where's it to be? I enjoyed my visit to Golden Nugget yesterday and The Empire was nice despite it being incredibly busy and there always being a 30 minute to 1 hour waiting list these days. I'm really starting to warm to the casino venues now and finding more and more reasons to play at these rather than at the relatively colder atmosphere of the poker clubs like The Fox or The International. Maybe I should go for variety and start with a little £1/£1 at The Vic today?

Despite holding the rare £160 event or the £325 main event, one redeeming feature of The Fox Club, these days, is that they do offer the right ingredients for a few cheap drunken poker sessions with their low buy-in, reasonably structured, MTTs. It's always a bit of fun to piss-off the "serious" player who seem to think there's actually more skill in these small buy-in donkfest affairs than there really is. Still, you do get plenty of poker for your money and, in fact, they have an interesting £38 freezeout tonight at 7PM which I'm considering giving a go. What I'll probably do, therefore, is play a little £1/£1 cash at The Vic and then, if I do well at that, have a few beers and play fast and loose at The Fox's £38 freezeout later on for fun and jolly japes.
---------------
P.S. Change of plan: I'm still at home so the above plan will be out. It's 5:15PM so I can still catch the £38 freezeout at The Fox but I don't really know. Whatever I do, I'm definitely gonna be hitting the town for some Sunday evening poker - so let's do this!!
