Title: Friday Night before APAT Cardiff
Post by: Chipaccrual on April 11, 2011, 17:53:43 PM
Friday 27th May is the day before the 888poker Welsh Amateur Championship at Les Croupiers, Cardiff.

Anyone planning on arranging a Cardiff Poker Club game at the casino ?


I"m sure some of you must have contacts there and could get a private game arranged.  If so, post up some details.

That would also work.

I"m getting the train to Cardiff as it"s currently only £7 each way from Southampton, so should get into Central at about 9pm.

Not Bad.

Don"t croups basically use all of their tables for their £15 comp on Friday night that gets loads of runners? Drinks in Cardiff FTW Obv.

Frankly...my plan wasn"t to do Les Croups on Friday night.

I"m for a night in the Westherspoons down the road from the Holiday Inn...The Gatekeeper.

It"s in the heart of "downtown" Cardiff, my glamorous assistant reports, (an ex-Cardiff Uni student).

Gotta be done...I feel.


Oh, and Leigh, it"s only 5 minutes from the station.

I haven"t been to Cardiff for quite a while and haven"t lived there for ages - but I would be pretty surprised if a Wetherspoons just off the city centre was the best you could do these days.

I don"t need the best....cheap and within easy staggering distance to the hotel were my criteria.

It"s fine. They serve Guniness and Becks what more do you need.

If not Prince of Wales FTW? It"s only somewhere to meet anyway. I doubt we will just stay in one place.

Nothing wrong with Zero Degrees but IMO Copa (4 Wharton Street) is a better starting spot, best waitresses in city centre, comfy chairs, wide selection of beers - both cheap and chearful, decent guinness and expensive euro trash - plus did I mention the best waitresses in city centre. Not the biggest venue though but there"s Barocco a couple of doors away that is also very decent and a lot bigger and stays open a bit later. Then for later again or for a one-stop shop that"s open til 2am I"d vote for Dempseys (15 Castle Street), where the Guinness is the speciality, reasonable prices too. And finally for the early hours I"d recommend The Live Lounge (9 The Friary).... not that I know anything about Cardiff drinking establishments though

Expecting to arrive at the Holiday Inn Castle street around 3.30pm on Friday.

I will be in the bar...after that..is anyone"s guess.

That is all.

Probably a ridiculous question but is anyone planning on playing any poker on the Friday night?

I will be taking the degen option and playing the £15 tourney at the casino and may join in the shenanigans (spelling?!) afterwards. If anyone else is playing this one then will see you at the final table.

I"m easy (snarf)...sort of depends on who turns up and when.

Basically, I"m planing on getting a couple of drinks in while people turn up and, as a default, head down to the Gatekeeper for something to eat and more drinks.

If that doesn"t work for people...as I said, I"m easy.

Plus I wanna get all the dirt from Mr Jack "I"ve keeping this under my hat" Prime  ;D

Yeah I want to know too as I am very nosey :-)
What time are you getting in - you on the train or driving?

Might actually stay in Cardiff overnight myself that night. I was going to get the last train (about mid night) and stay at my Mums in Newport but could drive to the Casino first and then walking into town from there.

I reckon I"m driving though I enjoyed the train to Newcastle so I might see how much it comes out at.
