Hey guys, a new Londoner here! I've been living in London now for 7-8 months and play a little live poker every now and then... I live in Chelsea so my local poker rooms are the Mint on Cromwell Road and I believe the Grovsenor isn't too far away either. I sued to play weekly at the Loose Cannon in Cannon street but that game has closed down now :( Just wanted to drop in and say hi etc etc, if anyone has any London questions or w/e give me a shout!

Jake

Introduction
---> or8 people <---

Hi every1 Im Daniel from barnsley,only just stumbled across the Good ol' England thread so i read the lot. I'v noticed some of the early poster seem to have faded away???? Maybe they lost they lost their free $50 and said f**k it but this site is worth much more than the free roll thats for definate

Most of my friends arnt really into poker and those that are just havn't got a clue basicly so never really had anybody to discuss it with properly untill now its nice to see a few fellow englishmen/women arround here

Is their any more pokerstrategist out their from arround the Barnsley region or is it up to me to make a name for us commen folk _cool: well... where aloud to dream rnt we

Good Luck every1

Anyone know anything about live poker in Bristol. I move there for uni on the 3rd so will be looking for action.

I have heard a rumour about a NL50p game at a casino somewhere which sounds interesting, maybe someone could confirm that.

Hi everyone and welcome to the community,

I used to live in Cheltenham for a while myself so know a little about the area.

In terms of Bristol, I know there is a Gala casino there which is used for the British Masters tour (CBMPT) so must be pretty big and used to poker etc. I haven't personally been though so don't know what it's tourneys or cash games are like.

Probably best to do an internet search before going down there. I think from memory the biggest casino chains in the UK are Stanley/Genting (Circus, Maxims, Mint brands), Grosvenor, Gala, Aspers & London Clubs International (includes Rendezvous brands). Most of these should provide some sort of poker. There are ofc other smaller local brands too and I may have missed some big national chain :P

In addition to the casinos, specialised poker clubs are now springing up in places (Fox poker club just opened in the west end of London, Duffs Full House down here in Hampshire, the Full house in Reigate, DTD in Nottingham etc) and of course you still have loads of different pub leagues floating around.

Hope this helps a little, shout if you get stuck.

Best regards,

Bart
