Default Re: Questions about Germany

You won't have much luck finding poker in Germany. The only games played if any (mostly only on weekends) are at the larger state casinos. German law does not permit card rooms like the ones in California.
If you find a game it will have a very high time charge or rake. And it will be played potlimit (either stud or omaha, I am not aware of any HE games spread in Germany).

If you want to support yourself for one year playing poker in Europe I suggest either Austria or UK.

Austria has many cardrooms, but if you want to play in the bigger games you have to learn PLO, HE and stud are spread limit only (up to 15-30).

I have never played in the UK but I hear they have started spreading NL HE games as the TV poker boom reached them some time ago and is only starting in the rest of Europe.

Anyway, I hope this helps.
