Anyone ever play outside the US? Where?

  1. I've played in London, Monte Carlo, Prague, Germany, Budapest, Aruba, Bahamas, New Zealand, and Australia (Melbourne and Sidney).....and all I can say is this....there ain't nothing like poker in the good'ol USA!

  2. Does a home game in Cabo with my buddies in college count?

  3. I played in cash games in Monterrey Mexico but the rake was horrendous. The Monterrey, Mexico games I played I believe are illegal but I think the police are bribed so they are very visible in public places and don't get any trouble from the police. The rake, however, is 10% of the pot! When I first played I was super excited because I won a $1000+ cash game pot but instantly horrified when I saw the dealer rake $100+ before he shoved me the pot! Makes the $4 max rake you typically find in Vegas games look like a screaming good deal!

  4. I've played a little in Ireland. I recall a club in Galway with one table where everyone had clearly known each other for years and years, and I think I was the only person at the table NOT named Patrick or Sean...
