Crown (Melbourne) is the place to hit for NL action they also have a deep stack series running through Feb if your interested varying buy ins $180, $240 and $550 (pretty good value if your spending pounds) for the main event (PM me for the link if your interested as im not sure I can post it on the forum). I'm up in Brisbane currently and you can only play limit with the occasional pot limit game getting going in Treasury.

Have a fab time Brendan.  Hoping to make it back up to DTD next month, so see you then :)

Hi Brendan

have a great time and remember they drive on the left....or is it the right? Not that it makes any difference.

Dave

have a nice time brendan  ;envious;

Wow what a country..................it's so great, I've extended my visit for another week (cmimng home tues)So i'm able to see the Mardi gras parade in Sydney.
I've had a great month here, with Lucy, who'se itching to get off up the coast.
If I was young again, i'd be out here like a shot.............it's so easy going, but all things must end and unfortunatly i'm on my way back to the uk on mon eve, get into LHR Tues AM.

I managed to get a bit of poker in at the God awful Star city casino, in My new adopted city of Sydney..............if they let casinos get like this in the uk i'll shot myself, it's a pit of unequal odds, whare half the population of china or hong kong or any other far east city, are happy to accept being milked by a succession of seemingly uncontrolled betting propesistions.
As an example the old friend of the loser "THE BIG WHEEL"and, rows on rows of slots< it"s all overwhelming

I"LL write a poker report on my return, but as a teaser, i'll just say that the $80 buyin NLHE table,charges $5 per hr, and then Takes 10% yes 10% from each pot (to $8 max), and most pots hit that upper limit..............no ALL pots hit the upper limit.

I don't know how i came out ahead..............but lets say the play was em,imaginitlve on the whole table to say the least,arethe chinise expecting the end of the world any time soon,and not wanting to burden their trip into the next world,with anything as gross as currency I wonder.
Anyway, more to cone.
The sun's out it's lunchtime, I'm off for some rays.

See ya. Ahrt

Great to hear from you Brendan !

Glad you have enjoyed your trip and we wish you a safe journey home, hope to see you soon.

All the best,

Bainn & Harmony.

LOL i've played tht game aswell $1/2 $80 min+max buyin!  The rake is killer, but ppl are so terrible there (reminds me of rounders with matt damon pwning the tourists) that its beatable anyway.

have a safe trip back.

I played cash games in Sydney and the table charges were horrendous. I thought I was up against a load of donkeys when everyone was all in preflop with 22 and KJ but I soon learnt they were just trying to make a profit before the rake caught up with them.

However, the crown casino in  melbourne is the best card room outside of the US I know of. Cash games are well organised, plentyful and the rake is reasonable.

Safe journey back Brendan sounds like you've had a great time look forward to hearing all about it soon.
