Is it worth me coming up from Melbourne for any of these Monday nighters?

I've heard from a couple of sources that the cash game standard is lower in Sydney than Melbourne, perhaps because of the more happy go lucky lifestyle in Sydney, or more tourists who are just there to have a bit of fun.

Has anyone else noticed any difference in standard?

By the way, there is some truly terrible poker being played in a lot of the pubs in Melbourne these days. They run it a bit like a trivia night (as entertainment) so it gets around the gaming laws. Is that happening in Sydney and other capital cities around Australia?
