Tell us the one about the time you had JJ on a 7 9 J board on the bubble of the DTD 300 Jase.

I always love that one.

To add to what Rudders said (if you're indeed in swindon area) there's often poker tournaments at the matchplay snooker club in stroud (i think), and i think as well as the bristol and SW poker meetup group there's also a swindon poker meetup group, who both hold home games.

40-50 minutes to Luton for me depending on traffic (a bit less on the way home now there are no roadworks or speed cameras Smiley)

Plenty of places closer, but not an enjoyable atmosphere.  I play poker because I enjoy it, not to make money though (which is just as well really....). If it were the other way round then I'd go somewhere more local with lots more value.

personally I prefer not to travel too far on a school night as am work at 8 in the morning. however from Cardiff I would travel to Swansea or Bristol if there was a decent game on (i.e.There used to be a £100 1rb/add on on a  Tuesday in Swansea that got 80+ runners) but the 40 minute or so drive home was a killer as all I could think about was my alarm going off at 7.

Where abouts are you? Sounds like Swindon would be handy for you.

http://www.kcclub.co.uk/poker.aspx -looks er...limited but depends what you want

(Please note: new Members who wish to play poker need to register either online or in person 48 hours before they intend to play at KC's.)

Oh and Bristol Gala is  a fairly nice casino, mostly dealt but regs fill in when short of dealers. Standard is mostly poor with some notable exceptions. Cash games are pretty lively- both NLHe and Om Pl

I'm not 100% sure on this Rudders, but I know a lot of the KC Club (Swindon) regulars, & I'm pretty sure that the Club is temporarily closed for now, being re-furbed or something.

I think Quinny told me, in fact.

This is not something you need a consensus on my friend. Do what makes you happy.
