Open Thurs - Sun games start around 7pm, 5pm on Sun. US$1/2 and 5/10. Sometimes a 2/5 & 10/25 if theres a call. I live on Ambergris Caye/San and the main game is at Pedro Pedro's Poker Club. Small Tournaments Sunday 5pm (US$50 bi stt) with cash after and Cash only Monday and Weds 7pm usually US$1/2 - 2/5 usually just one table. In high season (winter) we often play more nights just depends on numbers and who is here snowbird locals etc. There are a few home games around if here for a while and a small Casino North of town at Captain Morgans but unless you're staying up there it's out of the way and all the locals tend to play at Pedro's. There are a couple of Casino's in Northern Belize near Corozal in a Duty Free Zone at the Mexican border but I hear games are sporadic. Caye Caulker has a home game centered around Oceanside Bar so if there ask.
Will be in Belize for the first time in Feb. I have heard not to go out after dark in Belize City -- are there safety concerns regarding carrying cash in/out of the club (I'm a big, athletic guy if that makes any difference (likely not))?
What is the min/max bi in all the games you listed (other than 10/25 as I don't play that high)?
Rake structure in all games?
Is it possible to make a living as a pro playing in Belize City and living somewhere nicer (large enough player pool and frequent enough games over 1/2)?
Just concerned about cash games, thanks.
