Thanks. I'm guessing that there is probably only one NL game going after the tourneys break up and maybe it's $1-2NL?

Sydney does have poker now, at Star City.

The rake is rather high there, though. At the the 5-5 NL table they take $1 per hand per player. There were enough rich, loose players when I was there who made it easy to overcome the rake though...

I believe the rake at the low limit table (4-8?) was $.75 per hand per player. Not cheap!
