Cardrooms in Europe

Rubeskies · #1 04-19-2005, 05:18 PM

Danenania and I are taking a trip to Europe this summer for a writing workshop among other things and we will be looking for cardrooms in Europe to play mid-high limit hold em (15/30-40/80) and lower limit stud. We'll be starting in Athens and heading to Prague, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Zurich, Paris, Rome, Madrid and Lisbon from may 15-July 1rst. We are also willing to deviate a bit if need be. Anyone have any suggestions?

We'd also might be interested in meeting up with anyone that lives around there.

I'm in Vienna and play at the Concorde Card Casino. They held a E-WSOP qualifier here a month or so ago, and some of the posters here flew in for it. I think it's on TV back home now.

It's a pretty good place, filled with regular old Austrian men. They're a mix of weak-tight, loose-aggressive, loose passive and of course, some good ones.

There is normally one low-limit holdem game running (3/6 normally, but also 4/8 or 5/10 depending on the mood), and sometimes two or three on busier nights. I play these games due to BR problems...i.e. crappy exhange student worker salary.

For the higher limit crowd, there is often a 10/20 or 15/30...actually I'm pretty sure "often"="always" on the right nights. I just don't know what those are specifically. Sorry I can't be more helpfull on the high limit games, I just don't pay much attention.

If you want to change it up a bit, there is almost always a low and/or high limit 7stud game. Also, quite frequently there's a blind2 or higher Pot Limit Omaha game going. Sometimes they've even got "weirder" high limit (~100/200) games like razz or draw lowball running.

And finally, check out there website for event updates. There are lots of tourneys every week, from a €10 NL R+A to €100 NL Freezeout.

And of course, all those numbers are in Euros.

There is also Poker World, but I have never played there. CCC is jsut two bus stops from my work! Hope to see you here. Fire me a PM if you're interested, and I can look into the higher limit games.
