 I know both the Broadway and Walsall are well represented on this and other forums but i'm curious as to whether anyone plays at China Palace or the Gala (Hill st) ?
 I've had a wander past the Gala but it always looks a bit "iffy" to me Smiley so i'm interested in peoples opinions on it and if the Blondepoker schedule is up to date (the car jockey on the door seemed to be a bit vague)

 Most opinions welcome
                                      Mr Smeeeth  Huh?

i can honestly say i've never bothered/been tempted.
Truth is you can get pretty much what you want any day of the week elsewhere.
I was on a table with a fella the other week at walsall who was a regular at the gala, said he'd won loads of comps there and judging by the way he played the standard must be pretty poor!!
as far as i know they are poorly attended but to tell you the truth i have only ever met that one player who's been, i will ask around for you though and see what i can dig up,

me and my shaftbury days? hummmm let me think, shaftbury isnt that the place where the managment have no back bone? (oh yeah u were a manager there?  dik) no offence mate! but since leaving shaftbury and venturing in to walsall i got to see how a casino should be run, since been there cardroom has improved greatly (i like to think) Grin with the help of the staff ive worked with ive ran 6 major festivals, ill let the players them selfs tell u how thay went, (apart for ifm cus i never take his comment seriously LOL).
as a new kid on the block dik u have it all to prove, ive already done it son but good luck anyway Wink

I'm a member of China Palace and I played several times when that wednesday comp was going.

Was pretty enjoyable. Had a good laugh on a few occasions. Depended on who turned up.

Yes. There was never a massive turn out. Most I saw was about 25-30 players. Most comps were 2 tables. Meant I could make the final table though.  Tongue

I bubbled one night. Came 2nd.

I've not been to the China Palace but I have been to the Gala (only ever on a Friday)...the busiest night had 5 tables but last week there were only 3!!!

Value? Got in to a 'discussion' about this with an old pro but as far as I'm concerned it's a simple equation for me at my level of play.

Gala - 7 visits to 10 PL Friday = 920 UP

Star City 13 visits mix of 10/20NL Wed/Thurs = 408 UP

Broadway 3 visits = 140 DOWN

The most enjoyable experiences I've had in terms of fellow players/dealers/atmosphere have been at the Broadway. The worst experience (some bloke who couldn't hold his licker threatening to 'bang me out' for nowt was  at the Gala...).

For me it's simple. I'll play where I can win some cash then take a bit of it to The Broadway to give to my superiors...only a bit mind you...lol.

i really must start keeping accurate records, i can tell ya i've been to the broadway 4 times, finalled twice with 1 win, around 1300
Starcity 4 times finalled twice with 1 win and a 5th about 1370
Walsall about 100 times won god knows? about really don't know 5-10ish finalled dozens, i think i'll have a trawl through cheeseypoker and write it down.
I am useless with money though..............
