How many have been showing up for the weekly tournamnts at the ACF?

Anyone care to point me in the direction concerning poker in Lyon?

Merci

1. what happens if you don't tip 2e? you said it as if its required

2. does the excellent restaurant allow people under 18?

3. what percentage of the players are tourists/regulars/pros?

1 - Tips are not mandatory, I only give it if the pot is realy huge or I'm in big winning session

2 - under 18 you are not allowed to put a toe in card room

3 - there are always 1 or 2 shark at table but other are giving money away

I have heard(and read on the ACF official website) that the rake is HUGE.
I'm asking the people that have been there(this year if possible)....can u still go there and make money playing poker with rake,food,drinks,hotel and other expenses?

At ACF you can make money and live in Paris, i played live poker at ACF 2 months everyday, and i hade made good profit, payed all the expenses, and its a good place to live and play poker.Paradis

hi, i am in paris now until july 15

i want to play but i cant pay 100e to play at the ACF (i have only $500 to play with), and the other clubs seem smaller and less friendly to foreigners. so, i dont know what to do. if someone could help me out that would be very much appreciated

does anyone want to meet, play some poker, discuss some poker, etc?

thank you

There used to be the "cercle des pyrénées" in Toulouse but I think they closed.

I suggest you become a member of this excellent forum

They'll know the nearest casino.

Hi all,

Tomorrow i'm leaving to Paris for the weekend with a couple of friends with the intension to play poker...of course...
We've been to the Aviation last october and didn't pay any fee. Does anyone know if we have to pay the €100 now or does our (free) "membership" still counts, since it's been less than a year we were in the club?

Thanks

you have to pay

I'll be going to Paris Sep 2-7th. I'm planning on playing at the Aviation Club. Thanks for all the info in this thread. I'll guess I'll have to pay the 100E to play.

Any 2+2ers play there on a regular basis? Would be cool to meet some of you.

The rake are huge because there is a bad beat jackpot.
You can still make money playing there because the level is terrible but I suggest you to don't tips (too much) if you want to make descent profit.




I sometimes play at the Aviation Club de France (ACF) and I had to pay the 100€ but maybe if you told them that you're just there for a few days, they can make an exception.

I heard that they did that before but that's not sure that they still do it because it's kind of risky for them.

lol if you never tip and try to "save" 100E here and there it s very "risky"for them indeed :P

Is the dress code enforced at the Aviation Club these days? (Sep 2008)

Yep

I've played at ACF twice now. The rake is just brutal. 5% uncapped at lower games, and 25E PER HOUR at 5/5. The games are good, but that rake is unreal. Some players are incredibly loud and obnoxious, maybe even worse than in Los Angeles.
