I speak no German and just want to make sure that I'm not about to get angleshot by some local language stuff. Any other weird Germany stuff/rules I need to be aware of? Hypersensitive after the Spain/Anksy thing.
(Also, does the Spielbank casino run cash games around the clock?)
Well, I do not know but to be quite honest I wouldnt be so sure of either of these things. Eng/Ger: As far as cash games my best guess is they are played by the normal house rules meaning chat is allowed in German and English (and there are frequently some Russians or other Easter Europeans who think this does not apply to them, on the positive side they are usually terrible)
24 h: I do not know either but I doubt it. Normally the casino closes at 3 am and they would need to get permission from the city council and reschedule a lot of stuff to be running 24/7. Could be wrong but I dont really see this happening, if you're very lucky maybe at the weekends.
Other than the absurd rake limits no too special rules Im aware of, IRCC UTG is first after a button straddle.

- now word is the staff cannot say if there will be seats available in an event after players travel hundreds and thousands of miles
- WSOP Spokesperson missing to provide guidance or direction
God save us from the chaos at the cages!!!
Well yeah, you're probably right, but I cant say Im too surprised. At this casino there are normally no more than 10 tables going on at peak times. On the positive side its still in Berlin, so theres always something else to do.
