KC Club

[DerbyRed]

Play a lot of online poker but want to start playing some live tournaments.  Had a quick search online and the only obvious place in Swindon to play poker seems to be at the KC Club.

Is anyone a member or played poker there?  Would anyone recommend it?  Or are there any other poker clubs in Swindon that host regular tournaments?

Played there a fair bit, although only once in the past year or so. They love a gamble and I mean a gamble. There are some very good players and some who will push on any hand just for fun. It's too cliquey for me to enjoy attending that much. You sometimes feel like you've intruded on someone else's private game!

I prefer to play at the Bristol Harbourside Gala, because you get dealers (most of the time). There's a not insignificant amount of cocks though. There's some hateful old Ruski cow who throws shit when she loses and will chase almost anything.

Fox and Hounds has a tournament every Wednesday at 7.30. There is a website for it somewhere with more info

Is that still going?? I used to play there a few years back on wednesdays.

I can also recommend it for a friendly game (or it used to be) Beer aint cheap in there mind.

Long way from Derby too

Cheers guys - will check out Gala in Bristol and the F&H - I'm guessing you just turn up and play, no need for prior registration (if playing tournaments at Gala)?

Nochee - registered on this site when I was living in Derby - moved back to Swindon in 2005 so it probably is about time I thought about changing my username!!
