heading to paris nov 8th-11th card room suggestions?
 

I am going to be in Paris on a layover and to break up my trip to Africa. I basically planning to play cards and I would love to have some suggestions on where to play. Cheap hotels? Softest games in France? I play most mixed games what games should I focus on in Paris? Any advice would be great.

The ACF is the 'Aviation Club de France'.

Did you see the sticky about 'Where to play poker in France' ?

I listed most of the card rooms in Paris in it.

thanks. yes I saw that. I have been reading that they play alot of courchevel which looks like a version of omaha except one community card is shown preflop. Another game mentioned was Avaition. Have you played Avaition? In the blog they also mentioned lowball. I suppose I should educated myself on how to play lowball. Sounds like a variant of Razz? any info you would like to add is greatly appreciated.

just saw your info on avaition. got it. a hold-em variant. played it in Reno not long ago.

Nobody really plays Aviation anymore. Sometimes people play nullo, which is kinda like Razz except the best hand is 12346 (lowest hand wins, straights & flushes not allowed). Most popular games are Omaha, Omaha hi-lo, Omaha 5, Omaha 5 hi-lo, Courchevel and Courchevel hi-lo.

There are several card rooms in Paris, I would recommend checking out the ACF and also Cercle Haussmann near the Opera. All you need is an ID, and there's a dress code (shirts, no snickers).
