I'm back from Australia and will definitely be playing in tonights tourney. Since I didn't play last week, I'll be offering up a bounty tonight in honor of my week 6 win.
The person that knocks me out tonight will receive:
1- $5 chip from Star City Casino (Sydney, Australia)
1- $1 chip from Star City Casino (Sydney, Australia)
Not much to report on the trip. Two weeks of business and then my wife came out for 5 days of holiday. We pretty much just did the typical touristy (sp?) things. Went to the Blue Mountains, saw Romeo & Juliet at the Sydney Opera House, ate fish and chips at Doyle's, etc.
Only went to the casino once and didn't end up playing at all. There was a waiting list for all of the lower limit Hold'em tables not to mention that they have a $0.75 per hand, PER PERSON ante that the house takes as a rake. I did some quick math and decided not to put my name on the waiting list.
I will try to get some pics taken and uploaded either right before or during the tourney. (tonight's golf night so I don't get home until right before the tourney starts).
Is there a tourny tonight? I dont see a post for it.
No doubt there will be -- jojo just needs to set it up. I predict another looow turnout though.
And thanks Trutan for the report -- I've read that some of the casinos in Australia charge an outrageous rake, and so wondered what your impression was!
