I hate the bottom of town. Full of wankers and bouncers. The only pub worth venturing to is The Sir Daniel and that's only because it's cheaper than the other pubs. Old Town is better, but for a good night out, hit the back street pubs  |

I was down the bottom of town midweek a couple of weeks back, pitched up about 10:30 and everywhere was empty. Not just having a handful of punters but having no punters.. |

I used to really hate the bottom of town when I lived in Swindon. A typical night would start in old town, a lovely few hours, nice pubs, few beers. At closing time you had two options. 1) Bag of chips with curry sauce and home time - this always ended happily. 2) More booze down town - this always ended in the witnessing of aggression, casual violence, police sirens and street sex (always ugly people).
To be fair, this doesn't just apply to Swindon. What classes as the botton of town equivalent in Cardiff is the same, only bigger.

St Mary street is still better than the bottom of town in Swindon though. They've ran everytime i've been there. As players get knocked out of the tourneys, they start cranking them out at what ever stakes everyone fancies. The standard is quite high and not bad for a TA player, because most of them are closer to Gus Hansen than Dan Harrington. A mate went once, and walked out £800 up, although that was from winning the Tournament with their old bounty format (which placed a massive sum on someone's head, by name out of a hat, and if that person wins, they win the bounty sum). He never went back.  - He's very aggressive and pretty loose by the way. Do you know which nights tend to be busiest? |

From recollection most night are about the same, but i think the rebuy tourney nights are busier. And weekends. I would guess that you'd get the best rewards on the nights of the big buyin tourneys. Oh and watch out for the collection of crazy Italians in the cash games! Gala Harbour Side is Bristol is probably more worth it for cash games. They start running cash games towards the end of the tourneys, and by around midnight on, they've usually got quite a few going. You used to also get a massive amount of cocks who are crap and ripe for the taking in the larger cash games. They buy in for a fair wack and proceed to push - along with several others! It's amusing to watch, but more akin to demo play, because they'll turn over barely playable hands. Saying that though, the last few times i've been the standard of the cash games has been pretty good. |

the harbourside is full of donks when the cash start getting played, but even if they are donks you need to be carefull, i had £200 in the pot and floped the nut straight, i push all in and get a call and this donk has middle pair, he hits runner runner for a full house, im sorry but you do not risk 200 odd quid on middle pair.
That same week layed down QQ pre flop, as i had a pretty good read on a guy who i was sure had AA (he pushed all in) i folded and the person next to me called with 10 10, I was very happy with my lay down only to see the flop come Q Q 7. I layed down Quads, I havent played much since that night.
along with losing my whole bank roll online in the space of a few days.
Planning on getting back into soon, just very depressing when you run bad.
