Hi all, I'm very interested in poker, been watching it on TV for about a year and been playing online but need to start playing with real people!

Could someone tell me where I can play poker anywhere in Bristol please?

Very much appreciated...

Hi Vnam,

There are a couple of threads mentioning Bristol casinos here:

I stopped playing in Bristol a couple of years ago so I can’t give you any current info I’m afraid Monkey’s the local boy and your best bet.
You could always call the casinos and ask directly:

Thanks for the reply, just wondered if those poker games in the Triangle were texas hold em?

It’s rare to see anything other the Texas Hold’em played in casino tournaments and it’s almost always pot limit.

Bricks and mortar casinos don’t have the on-line luxury of near infinite space, so they can’t afford to provide for anything other than the most popular poker variant.
If you’re after something more unusual you can sometimes find a dealers choice cash game by asking around at the tables.

Hi,

If anyone is looking for cash games in Bristol, I and a small group of friends usually get together 1 or 2 times a week, for a small cash game.

We run this in either of two ways depending on the size of the game.

For instance if we are playing for £20 each, we tend to play tournament. Each player recieves a certain amount of chips winner takes all.
Or in a good case we can get a real game going with unlimited buy-ins and set a time limit say 8 hrs, as when a limit is not set the games tend to go on a bit, like 15 hrs!!!
In this instance we would have a banker who you would purchase your table chips from.

We are not gangsters or thieves we are just poker lovers!!

If I get enough replys to my e-mil from people in the Bristol area, then we can work something out.

My email address is mcstoned_raider(remove this part)@hotmail.com.

P.S. Good luck with your poker and try not get frustrated and play silly pocket cards. Play tight and aggressive on good hands.

Don't forget there is the Bristol Meet-Up in uhmmm well... Bristol

They're just a bunch of people meeting up in a pub for a friendly game kinda thing. Low inbuy I believe and everyone is welcome. You can google it up by just putting two and two together. Like so: Bristol meetup

Gosh I'm a clever little bunny!
