Generating Interest for Budapest Poker House - Page 4

You guys still out there? My friend is booking a trip for a group of us. Was thinking may check out cash game scene, is the game you mentioned in a legit cardroom/casino? If so where? Cheers.

legit/legal cardrooms don't really have games bigger than 1/2. there are plenty of larger private/illegal games that are safe imo, but I've kinda lost interest in going to those.

TiltAttack> If you mean the assistant, Id say she is a 6 (pretty but not super hot). But seemed pretty nice so that gets her additional points

thegr8str8> where do you live now? close to the first place? will be probably moving to budapest this summer, how long you plan on staying there? I have to give you a good beating in pool - you know, after that lucky win of yours from the last time

I live about 8 blocks out towards Heroes Square/City Park from where I used to live. My pool game has been slipping. Fwiw, would probably say Petra>6.

I´m also going to Budapest probably. Plan is to fly there in mid June and stay 1,5 - 2 months. I´m going to get an apartment from 5th district if there are available short term studios. I´m 29 years old and grind 20 dollar turbo heads-up sng´s.

I´m national level competition tennis player here in Finland so if there are some 2+2 guys in Budapest that are good in tennis let me know so we can go training

Well, I did see her for just few minutes. But then, 6 is still pretty for me.. Have never seen a 10 and only few 9s. My scale might be structered differently from someone who gives out 10s every day

fwiw, I am just looking at a very interesting Balinese 19 yo, who is probably a 7 or 8 and is pretty hot. But what I dont understand is that she just told me she did not dream about me last night - something must be wrong with the universe!

good - on par with what I would get in BC, Canada
9$/gram
illegal, but essentially unenforced - very common for ppl to be smoking in public and at bars.

Nope but Buda is awesome and we know some Realtors that can help you find your own place pretty easy

Hey, we currently have a room in the apartment pictured above. If anyone is looking please PM me and not thegr8str8 for simplicity. Rent is 266 euros + utilities ~150 euro/month each. Short lease, like 3-6 months through summer would be perfect as we'll be here through ~Sept for sure.

Sorry if this doesn't belong here (2+2 needs a general budapest thread).

Strongly considering heading that way for ~2 months in June, so would like to be kept in the loop for poker houses starting up or in need of roommates then.

Alternatively a nice condo available for short term lease would be cool if anyone has a line on those.

Anyone to tell me a bit about Buda Hills? How far away it is from downtown? Good services there? Nice pubs / restaurants? Going to Budapest in mid June for 4-6 weeks. If you sterlinguini wish, we can meet up in Buda, Budapest noobs

FML I wish I was good enough to play fulltime, from all reports budapest sounds superb. Friends of mine have been there and reckon the girls are some of the best they have ever seen. Cheap rent, not a bad place, and you get a maid. Living the dream.

I moved to Budapest last July to play fulltime. I live on Blaha Luiza Ter. Its a very cool city indeed although I havent seen a great deal of it yet if im honest.

I had no idea there were other players coming here. Would be good to hook up with some of you (ive just joined the facebook group)

Oh and someone mentioned the weed. I find it a little difficult sometimes to get but its getting easier now I know a few people. It goes by grams here and its 2k forint for 1g (£6 roughly)

I am currently living on my own and my apartment costs around $450, all bills, Internet,cable etc.

Hi

can someone give a hint where to look for apartments? airbnb seems quite a bit expensive when I compare it to the reports here in the thread.

How do I find an assistant?

cheers
