Cheating accepted in Partouche Poker Tour - Page 4 - Poker News

No, he is just telling how it is in France.
They do it their way, with everything mentioned here that comes with it.
If you don't like it, accept it or gtfo. Your choice.
Gotta love 'em.

I think that is the purpose of this thread, to warn people not to play in certain casinos in France.

im not really surprised, but this obviously sucks a ton. extremely frustrating to know youre right an have no recourse.

there was a great deal of favouritism towards italians in san remo last time i was there. name pros also get preferential treatment at all these small tournies that are trying to attract them. its the reason ill never play a canadian poker tour event again in my life. bottom line is that a lot of clowns are supervising poker when you get outside of vegas.

Please don't bring Montreal into this! LOL.

For the record, everything here is bilingual. The local player pool (pretty large actually, including many daily regs but also more skilful players) is multilingual and everyone gets along great. It's common for one player to speak to another in French and for that player to respond in English - that's just how things roll here among locals.

Also our dealers and floor staff seem way more experienced than I have read here.

The +EV move is to learn French ASAP and become a Partouche regular.

Including hole cards. No one apparently thought that'd be a problem at all until Vanessa Selbst and others started vocally bitching about it, at which point they stopped showing the hole cards.

oh yeah crazy ****
they would never do that in the US
