Hi,

I new to sheffield and was woundering if there is any freindly poker schools who wouldn't mind an extra player.

I would prefere a friendly game rather than the big casino games, as I tend to spend far too much money when I attend the casino.

I thinking something along the lines of £20 - £30 for the night in some kind of winner takes all set up. But willing to go with any other kind of set up as long as the total stakes are no more than about £30.

If nobody has a poker school already up and running that I can join, would anybody else fancy starting one with me. We would need at least 6 people to get a reasonable game going.

I have chips, cards etc so just need the people.

Let me know if there is any interest.

Thanks
Tom

naploneons do a tourney £20 buy in on thursday night, thats is a great place to learn live poker!

There was an advert in the Mercury Newspaper this week , about a free hold 'em pub nights starting in October. At the moment it is a free to enter game with no cash prizes , but prizes such as holidays , tellys ,etc. Then it said that in the new year it was going to run on a league system ( ? ) .I think the better you do the more points you get , then those with the top scores enter a end of year tournemant.
The Mercury is the free paper which tells you what is on in the working mens clubs in Sheffield and the local area.

you will not learn much unless you play with real players

I don't see you point - I play with real players all the time. But I don't want to play in casino because i lose money on the other games.

in casino its £20 a buy in, once you lose the 1500chip you have option to leave the tourney or buy another 1500 for £20, after 2 hours you cant buy in anymore, there is around 80 player with lots of rebuys so the money pot is big, At this stage once you are skint you are out, The tables will be reduced one by one till the final, If you get this far you will have at least play on 4 tables against 40-50 different players, What better way to learn the game against south yorkshire finest, Instead of playing the same few players?

i know how it works i played 100's of casino games (and won many of them), my point is i spend lot of money in casino so don't want to play there.

if you won many of them why will your budget be £20???
what kick will you get from playing 6 players to win £100 when a win in casino poker is like £3500???
if you won many why can you only afford £20? You dont have to play the other games as cash game is avaliable staight after tourney with £50 a buy in,
it doesnt add up does it?

its not about the money - as the 2nd line of my orginal post said i prefere freindly games to casino ones. I want to play with a freindly bunch of people and have a few drinks and a good night.

I set small budget because when they get bigger they lose the freindly sense and become less fun (in my opinion) - I'm not trying to get and richer from playing just want a good night.

Tony I used to deal hold 'em in Sheffield and are you sure about " South Yorkshires finest"? ;-)

i have to admit there are lots of non starters but we have 20 good players that plays regular, di i know you? i play roulette a lot, do you know a girl that use to work there call 'leanna',i have giving the casino a miss now and prefer internet poker

Hi Tom,

my friends and I usually get together around once a month for a cash game, normally played in a sit-and-go format.

We tend to have a £5 buy-in with no rebuys and winner takes all. Obviously the amount of games we play depends on numbers/length of games but the most we have managed has been four.

1,000 chips, 10/20 blinds with 15 minute levels.

PM if you fancy joining us some time.

Cheers

Neil

It's nearly 15 years since I worked in casinos , but I do like the odd flutter now and again. But like you I play the poker on the net.

I'd definitely be up for a game, the stakes r good for me also, nothing too much, nothing too less... let me know if anything happens, cheers, Philip

old posts above, but if anyone is interested let me know, me and a mate are starting to play regular online and want to get involved in some 'live' games

Hi there, can you tell me whether you ever found a friendly game of poker? If so i would be interested myself.
I stumbled across this thread while searching for sheffieldforum poker as i knew there would be someone else in the city wanting the same.

Thanks
