Re: Amsterdam Poker
i was there a couple of years ago and all they had was a single 10/20 limit, and a single 1/2 NL. I played the limit and occasionally saw 10-15 euro raked out of the pot.
tables are smoking and there was always _somebody_ smoking *cough*.
don't dilly dally when you get up... i almost got my chips picked up when deciding to grab a drink at the bar on my way back from the toilet. You're supposed to only get 5 minutes away (not 3 orbits like in USA). I did think it strange they had no "big blind" and "small blind" buttons.
show up an hour early and you should be able to get on the table of your choice. go to the cashier and sign up on the list.
Don't get currency exchanged there unless you *know* you're going to be a winner. rate is much better at the ATM around the corner in Leidseplein. They also charge something like a 3% commission both ways (although you probably wouldn't want to buy back your dollars at the crappy rate... better rate at the airport)
If you've never been to Amsterdam, then you're in for a treat when you get out of the casino Friday or Saturday night. Leidseplein is an awesome party square with many restaurants and bars. you have to see it to believe it.
You just made me want to go back there very badly.
