ept monte carlo questions
Im thinking about making last minute plans to take a trip to monte carlo and play in the ept final. I was wondering if anyone has any experiences with this tourny. Ive never played in any large buyin tourny so I dont know what to expect, or even how to buyin. Anyone know if you can buyin directly through a poker site, like pokerstars or fulltilt? Thanks for your insight

its gonna be soft, u gotta wire em money I think [/ QUOTE ] It should be fairly tough for a major tournament with $13K buyin and the European location. Still there will probably be a minority of professional players. I haven't played it, but am going by logic and what I have heard and read.

Re: ept monte carlo questions
I played in it last year. It's like the WSOP main event was pre-moneymaker. They expect about 600 entries.
I'm pretty sure you can buyin thru Stars or go to ept.com for the bank wire details. I think the hotel is now full, but MC is tiny and you should be able to find a hotel within walking distance. There are no cash games allowed but they do run sitngos and other tournaments. MC is an odd place and I suppose worth seeing, but I wouldn't rush back, oh and don't eat the burgers unless you like raw meat.....

[/ QUOTE ] Some of the food in France is not all that. They use completely different spices than we do, or none at all, and I hated the milk there. One of my best meals in Paris was at the Hard Rock- a hamburger, fries and beer- and at just under 30 euro it was one of the cheapest, too.

[/ QUOTE ] At the risk of setting off a nit alert MC isn't actually France. When you get out of bed at 2pm and a tourney starts at 4, a burger from the room service menu seems like the thing. When the stomach cramps start you realise it wasn't.

[/ QUOTE ] I'm actually Scottish and couldn't find haggis or deep fried Mars bars anywhere but they would probably have fu**ed them up. Seriously though I was on the toilet for 48 hours - that isn't a matter of culinary style. (BTW I know it is a bit crass to visit somewhere and not sample the local food so I do take your point.)
