A few questions about poker live...

[Darlo Fan 1]

I know this has come up a lot but wanted a few more details about going to play Poker at the casino. I am planning a trip out with a couple of mates at a Gala casino in Teeside two weeks today for my birthday weekend. I went on the website and got a couple of forms to register with the casino and have sent them off today. Are they really that strict? Or do you generally just get away with turning up? Also, whats the dress code usually? Would I get away with Jeans or would I need a shirt and shoes? What type of games can you play? If it like online where I will be able to choose from unlimited £10/ £20/ £50 No Limit tournaments with 10 entrants or is it mainly re-buys/ pot limit games? I was hoping to take about £50 cash and no bank cards so I dont get carried away. Maybe play a couple of £25 No Limit tournaments. Do I start out with 1000 chips or would it be of a different structure? And finally....... can you drink at the table!! :D Advise Appreciated :)

They're really that strict.

Also, whats the dress code usually? Would I get away with Jeans or would I need a shirt and shoes?

Depends on the casino. Ring them.

What type of games can you play? If it like online where I will be able to choose from unlimited £10/ £20/ £50 No Limit tournaments with 10 entrants or is it mainly re-buys/ pot limit games?

Most casinos only play one competition per night. Cash games can follow afterwards but the players tend to be very good.

Do I start out with 1000 chips or would it be of a different structure?

Normally the casinos I play at start you at 1,500 chips. Not that the starting chip matter as it is all relative.

And finally....... can you drink at the table!!

Not in any casino I've ever been in, in the UK. :(
