If I can get a traveling buddy/roommate I might go. I can provide free room.

GOGOGOGOGO PEOPLE! That's a free room bitches! Let's get wasted on the beach while all those suckers in the Northern hemisphere scrape ice off their cars.

I would but you're a freak and a very weird dude. You're also quite young, so I think I'll avoid it.

Ok seriously now. I'm not in Sydney but my roommate for the last 2 years (hg18l7 on stars) is there and i'll direct him to this thread. I expect a good 2+2 showing on this one.

Any poker players still contemplating coming to Sydney, I can confirm the prizepool will exceed 3 million Australian Dollars for the main event, and most likely USD 3 million. Expecting 550 plus in this event.

Side events from $750 to enter start this Friday.

You are all invited to enjoy some Aussie hospitality and summer time downunder!!

don't worry, i'll be taking this role.

flying out of Columbus on the 10th, getting into sydney the morning of the 12th. Seeing as none of my friends can afford the 2k+ plane ticket, i'm traveling alone.. so i'm def looking to meet some cool 2+2'ers to chill/drink/party with. anyone interested in surfing? i've never tried before, but it's always been something that has looked interesting to me.

fwiw, the surfing conditions have been pretty average, but it's been raining pretty hard every second day

Well, I'm a "local", but I don't surf. In any case, as bazooka said the weather has be quite strange the last couple of weeks with nice sunny days turning into wet afternoons followed by thunderstorms at night. I'm playing the Thursday flight (at least that's what I've requested), It'd be good to catch up with some 2+2ers during breaks or to share bad beat stories!!

I'm here staying at Star City. The poker room's not very big so if you see me around come say hello.

So were any 2+2er's involved the biggish 25/50 NL game which was running Friday night/Saturday morning? Looked to be a bunch of local Asian dudes and another dude with a French accent. I was grinding 5/5 NL at a nearby table at the time. Looked like a couple of 20k+ stacks, and I'm pretty sure games like that don't normally get up at Star City.
