Haven't been paying much attention to prices since everything's ridiculously cheap, but I just got a bottle of Evian for ~30 CZK (Czech crowns), and a beer for 15 CZK. So yeah, seems about right.

Last night was a disaster and really off-putting in so many ways. Since I don't dress like I'm a construction worker, which seems to be the standard for most people in this city, the casino staff immediately assumed I was some sort of whale who'd come there to gamble big. The highest game that was running yesterday was 25/50 (basically $1/2), and I said I'd play that but I'd also be interested in playing higher.
I go over to the bar, and then the floor manager approaches me and goes, really desperately for some reason, 'hey hey we could, just for you, start a 100/200 game if you want!' - and it was incredibly obvious that the plan was to round up a bunch of regs just so that they could play the new tourist whale in town.
Anyway, I say sure yeah I'll play, and we get started. I get to the table, and I see the most disgusting, pathetic group of individuals I've seen in my entire life. They were all Czech except for one guy who was Australian (I think, couldn't tell for sure), and the Czech players basically looked indescribably miserable. I honestly have never seen anything like it. They all looked extremely unhealthy, dressed very poorly, barely spoke (except occasionally in Czech to each other), were smoking constantly (this was ****ing absurd, I could barely breathe), and kept staring me down in the most unfriendly manner imaginable. Again, this is all fine, but it makes for such an incredibly ****ty atmosphere.
The second I sit down one of the Czech losers goes, 'HEY, MINIMUM BUY-IN 20K OK?', and I just say yeah lol. The game gets started and the Czech regs are all pretty awful in general, but obviously very nitty, so the game's pretty far from great. Anyway, I end up getting stacked after 30 minutes after getting it in w/ 99 on 9234hhxx after I opened pre and one of the rapist-looking Czech regs isolated me by min-3betting A5s. After that I was done and just got up and left.
So yeah, today I'm just gonna play online while trying to decide whether I wanna wash my clothes or burn them since they reek of smoke. Absolutely disgusting. Wouldn't ever recommend Prague for live poker.
