Clean environment, the staff is professional, courteous and knowledgeable.
Cash game tables looked full but I can't tell anything about the action as I was there to play a tournament.
Pity there is only one tournament per week (Sunday at 10:30).
With 50 people CAP it gets full pretty quickly. You have to go 2 hours earlier and even so you might be on the waiting list as the seated players on the cash games can register 30 min earlier.
The tournament is super-turbo, 15 min blind levels with T$500 starting chips.
Even though there are many LED TV's around there was no tournament clock displayed so you don't know how much time left for the level, how many players remaining, average stack etc.
But overall looks like a good place to satisfy your amateur poker needs.
