The G Casino has them running daily. Think they have regular £1/1 and £1/2 NL, and £2/2 dealers choice.

New Genting club opening in a few weeks, its looking pretty good from what I've seen.

Cool cheers Dave. Is the g casino the one near Hillsboro? Or dog track?

[JK]

Dunno where Hillsboro is but its not dog track I don't think. Near ponds forge

1/2 usually starts from about 5:30 ish they have a new shuffling machine and half rack promo on at the minute! The shuffling machine should mean you get at least 4* more hands an hour in as previously the dealers worked at about and average of 5 hands per hour

[JK]

True dat ^. Tilted the fuck out of me the times I've played there

[aaron1867]

The 1/2 does get started about 5.30, but the standard of dealer is very poor.

Also, with regards to the new casino it opens very soon and the G casino have only decided to put their rake charges down now, rather than weeks ago, when they knew how much the rake would be at Genting.

[LB44]

Well was the victim of the most rediculous slow roll I've ever seen Nevermind been on the end of. Left pretty pissed off...

However, the standard of players is terrible and the dealer hardly even raked any pot. new shuffle machine so pretty quick.

Both the Napoloeans casino's and the G casino are an absolute joke regarding poker.

Napoleans. Started playing there at 18 and its always had cardroom managers who bend to the regular's points of view. Some of the rulings ive witnessed dished out there are nothing short of theft. I also know for a fact that some of the staff were in the last 10 years, topping up players stacks during the add-on period in return for a brown envelope during the week. Obviously any rulings can only go one way with this type of malpractice rife. I very seldom play live poker in sheffield but sometimes after a night out i decide to drop in for a nightcap and play a few hands of poker. Some of the same clueless puppets that ran the ecclesall road branch circa 2002 are still there and the dopey cardroom manager whose name escapes me dished out a ruling to me a month or so back that made my blood boil.

I had been out drinking with a friend and we decided to have a quick punt on the way home, i spin a oner up into about 900 and decide to have some banter on the 50p/1 table in a friendly mood. Im having some laughs with a few of the lads and a hand occurs where i peel a 3b (gl getting me to fold when im semi drunk) with 67 and flop the nuts on a 345 rainbow, i just decide to set this kid in for his last £50 ish instead of checking as I normally would. This lad who i'd been having a good crack with is agonising over this decision really hard, so being in a jovial mood and not really caring in which direction the pot floats, decide to flip my cards over and to say, "oh sorry i thought, he said call" anyhow, this guy who i can only describle as a c**t snap calls my hand dead, and without further ado, calls over this card room supervisor who after hearing the story deems my hand dead much to my anger by this point. I was so tilted at this i made an ill timed comment about the standard of the dealer and was correctly asked to leave.  THE PLACE IS A CIRCUS.

There is a guy at napoleans hillsborough, called scott who is the only guy ive seen who actually has a clue about poker and to all my evidence seems impartial. The rest are an absolute joke. The staff are on the whole bitter arrogant and mordib to the extreme.



Gcasino

On a whole different level staff wise, all polite, friendly and one guy who maybe the assistant cardroom manager called tom i think, is knowledgeable, polite and fair.
apart from the cardroom manager who i only had one minor gripe with when i returned from a cig to find him swirling in my seat shuffling my chips which i thought was very unprofessional, i didnt have 1 problem with the casino.

One night about a year ago i took a cab down to the G to watch a late NFL game alone and grab some food and a few beers as my body clock was withered at the time. I didnt get passed the front door and was told i was barred.
the incident they told me was the reason for my banning, was a night where i was in seat 10 with circa 2k in front of me in a 1/2 game. They claimed i stole £6 in rake, I didnt debate this, merely the preposterous notion that this was intentional. I demanded to
see the video evidence after such an allegation and was asked to phone the top honcho the following day. The phonecall served nothing apart from underline my thinking that most human beings are so intellectually inept at business and customer relations and general practice around a workplace. I was told that if i hadn't had brought this issue up ON THEIR OWN FACEBOOK PAGE, i would be allowed back in. Im sorry G CASINO SHEFFIELD but you cannot have a facebook page open to the public and for you to use as free advertisement and censor it in such a way and only allow sycophantic cringe worthy praise of the norm.

Without the wish to sound narcissistic or 'up my own arse' i think the reason i was actually ousted from the poker circle at G was the fact that i said what i meant, and constantly took money off the table which i didnt dump on the tables..(that often)

so in a short answer to your question OP. Don't play poker in sheffield, at least until Genting is opened.

nice post Trigg, this your new diary ?

[aaron1867]

Trigg is right. Both Naps and G Casino aren't run how they should be.

At napoleons everything is run by the regaulars, the start time for tournaments used to be a lot earlier than they are now, but now they start at between 9-9.30pm. Trigg, the Eccy Road card manager I can only think you may be talking about there is Paul Murphy?

Also, had a similar incident to Trigg regarding the Facebook page, wrote on it about staff not being up to it. Then next time I signed in the general manager was all over me trying to bar me from the place. Fortunately for me I got round him, but still a joke, go on what trigg says about why have a FB page??!

The staff at G Casino are such a friendly bunch, but the valets are not, the food is rubbish and the rake charges are ridic.

As for the manager, Andy, a two-faced individual. Says one thing, does the exact opposite. Sits in your chair when you go to loo, hangs around, etc, etc. He is not the card room manager in my view, just staff with a suit.

I genuinely can not wait for Genting to open, because it will destroy the remaining bit of custom the G-Casino has left.

[SuuPRlim]

Yh, the Genting's will be good for sure, Raf White involved with the poker so I've no doubt it'll be run very well.

This.. Raf seems solid ime.

His colleague 'colin' is it? Also seems sound... They just need a 'Dena'....

[smashedagain]

Ha ha I've known the real Raf White for years and sometimes posts on here. Get him on here and he will tell you himself that both Dave and John are wrong here
