Has anyone played there before? What were your impressions of the poker games in terms ability to make money?

Didn't play there but watched for a while. Im mostly a NL player and they rarely have NL so I hung around a couple nights seeing if they would start a NL game. that said the competition is not vey tough in limit. When I was there is was 5-10.

they were only running 20/40 limit and 5/10 and 10/20 plo last time i was there. echo the sentiment that nlhe barely runs.

The games are extremely loose with very weak players. mostly local businessmen. However the rake is extremely high, something like 10% up to 20euro max if i remember correctly. It could even be 50euro on the pot limit games, im not sure, its been over a year since i was last there. You couldnt beat this rake long term but i have had some very profitable visits there. There will be a lot of action there in May when they host the World Heads Up Championships.

I just looked up the that tournament...the World Heads Up Championship runs from May 19th to the 28th. I get there May 29th...just my luck. Oh well. Regarding the 10% rake there: isn't a 10% rake standard in cardrooms in America? That doesn't sound so bad, it just sounds bad compared to the rake on the internet.

As a girl you just need to dress proper, leave the sneakers and t-shirt at home and you'll be fine
