Poker in Sheffield

[aeinstein199]

Help please  Blondes.

Sheffield here I come next Weds 28th!

My lad has had offers from some Universitys and yours is one of them. This week we had Warwick and Birmingham so stayed at the Ricoh De Vere for £50 and played the £20 deep n steep at the G Coventry for some father/son bonding. It was a good laugh and he outlasted me in his first live event so I am up for revenge next week. Warwick Uni is top of the pops at the moment but he has heard computer science at Sheffield is also an excellent course and then the last one is St Andrews in Fife next month.

So next Weds night, which casino has the best value tourney for us with a Premier Inn nearby so I can have a few beers and drive back on Thursday?

This is not a mega bender really as he does not drink a lot and I am meant to be responsible. So no Lil Dave style antics this trip but would def have a few beers with any of you if you fancy. The wife was not over impressed with me semi degening him the other night on our very serious midlands Uni fact finding trip.

Also need a good Chinese or Indian eaterie for pre poker.

Would appreciate any local help.

Thank you.

Is the game on Grosvenor G's website.

Cash as Aaron says is the strongest in Sheff at Grosvenor, also if you enter the tournament you get 50% off bar food ordered before 9. Aaron often bangs on about the food there but I think he wants Michelin star for Mcdonalds prices! I eat there at least twice a week and loads of the cash players eat too i rarely see any problems with it. They have even started some Wetherspoons style offers but I am not sure what Wednesdays current offer is.

As people have said it all depends where you stay.

Jurys Inn/Travelodge/ and loads of Accor hotels are in the city centre. A taxi to G will be circa £5, taxi to naps nearer £10-14. Or you could possibly walk to Genting though there wont be many poker players there. I have eaten upstairs in Genting and it is pretty good, the Chinese leaves a bit to be desired. Better off going to somewhere like Wong Ting also right in the middle of town.

Raf has just added a another Sheffield Festival, but I don't think he has fully checked the dates as it clashes with Monte Carlo at DTD.

The next festival is on 18-21 April.

Told Raf and he changed it.

Thank you all for the info.

We ended up doing a flying visit to Sheffield. Loved it too. Uni and the City. I think he is gonna plump for Warwick though.

Sheffield was the 5th Uni we visited on our tour and won the best looking girl students prize by miles. How the hell any young men would get any work done is beyond me. It was like an audition for The Saturdays.

[kinboshi]

Both Warwick and Sheffield have reputations as top unis.  What course is he looking to do?

[DaveShoelace]

Does either the Genting or the G get much cash action on Saturday afternoons? About 3-ish?

Got a mate coming in to town who fancies a game before he goes to watch snooker in the evening.

Reminds me, I forgot to ask if you fancy sending me to do an MBA at The University of Nevada...?

[aaron1867]

The £75 game made just under £7k but Raf White kindly rounded it up to £7k, just like he added value last week also.

Genting, always giving.
