So I moved to london recently, and have decided it's about time to start playing some live poker!

Problem is, I have no idea which casino to choose: I'm looking for soft (but I guess they all will be) nl100 games with as low rake as possible, any recommendations would be awesome! :)

Not played any live cash games myself so i cant comment too much. However, i recently did a fact finding mission to the Hippodrome which is the new casino above Leicester Sq underground station they claim to have 247 cash games running and no tournaments.

When i decided to be nosey i saw a few people playing most of whom seemed extreemly nervous to be playing and spilling chips all over the place. It was at 1430hrs on a friday afternoon and they had two tables with 7 on each.

It was a nice open atmosphere so go and have a look its on the top floor.

Let me know if u start playing and i will rail you after work!

The empire is hands down the softest casino in London because there are so many tourists.

I agree. I'd say Fox is one of the worst since it's a Poker Club so only people into poker go there. I also played a bit at The Vic and all I can say is you need to show up at certain hours and even try to table select. Granted, I was there during GUKPT so maybe it's less 'youngster infested' outside of it.

Ended up playing nl200 at the empire tonight. Great mix of reg/recreational players, really nice atmosphere in the room: seems like a brilliant place to play!

+1 BI aswell _cool:

So thanks for the advice guys! I also noticed the hippodrome right next door, which I guess would also have decent games running, anyone have any experience there?
