1. Rake on cash games caps at a whopping €20, is that beatable?
2. Watching a vblog last night about the venue, gal said smoking is permitted in the poker room? That sounds terrible if true.
3. My understanding is the casino is in the middle of nowhere. Is there anything to do walking distance if you get tilted?
4. Is the restaurant good value for money? decent quality? any other restaurants nearby?
5. Are the gym and spa as nice as they look?
6. Any other consideration?
Thanks a bunch!
Edit - is it English at the table only? :-)
I haven't been in ages, so my info may not be fully up to date.
1. This rake is very high. Whether it is beatable or not depends ofc on a variety of factors including stakes, stack depths, your playing strength and the strength of the competition. IME most of the 1/3NL, 2/2PLO tables are probably beatable long term because of terribad players, other stakes it depends
2. Apparently they have banned it from the poker room (more like a poker hall) now, but probably still a lot of smoke from adjacent areas.
3. A big forest, another casino (only slots AFAIK), a thai massage place, a supermarket and a couple brothels a bit further away. No experience with either of them. Other than that, not a lot
4. It used to be good at least
5. No idea, never stayed at the hotel
Forget English only, I think officially English, Czech and German are allowed, but it's not uncommon to hear other languages. It's like that in many European casinos.
