Live Poker Europe?

Hi!

Short story, I live in Norway. I want to go somewhere in europe to play live poker.

So I wanted to know if anyone could recommend some places with good action?
Country is not important, as long as it is in europe.

Also, I know that it is WSOP in the summer, and a lot of action in Vegas.
And I also know about Maccau.

Any tips will be very helpfull and appreciated!

what are you going to play? is it for living how many time do you inten to stay? how many hours a day will you play?

Forget portugal almost no action here, i hear madrid and london is the best for action but i can be wrong, london is problably better but it has a depressing weather and living expenses are bigger then madrid.

paris if you wanna stay in europe. i think everything up to nosebleeds you'll find super easy to find in london.

A friend of mine went to London last year. He said he found tons of action at lower stakes, but as far as he could tell there's a lot of action at basically any stake you want.

Barcelona is pretty nice.

I would recommend Barcelona and Wien in general (from what I've heard at least, no personal experiences so far).

I'll actually be departing to Wien in a few hours, so I guess I can tell you more tomorrow after I come back

For live games in Asia refer to this thread: http://www.liquidpoker.net/poker-forum/317630/Live_poker_in_Asia.html

:D


Austria has pretty good card casinos. Personally I have been to Poker World in Vienna (sort of shady people). When I was there, they offered tournies, 4/8 fixed holdem, and 1/2 NLH. Also there is a normal casino in Vienna, where the games are supposedly fishier. I think they play 5/5.

I can recommend all Concorde Card Casino. I know there is one in each Vienna (been there; they offer tournies and usually there are multtple tables of 1/2 NLH going and regular 2/5 and 5/10 games, very good service there), one is in Linz and one in Salzburg.

I have also been to Amsterdam Casino (which is in amsterdam :D) but that was some time ago. Back then they offered 10/20 fixed and 5/5 NLH up to 2k buy in if i remember correctly.

There is also a Casino in Prag, at the Hilton Hotel I think and various Casinos on the german-czech boarder.

Of course there are a lot of possibilites in Great Britain, mostly in London, but I guess other people can eloborate on that a bit more. I have only been to the Empire at Leicester Square in London. I think the Hippodrome (PokerStar Live Card room?) is also there.

hey I am interested in recommendations aswell, I play PLO tho; ) (not looking for places with huge ass rake)

Austria, amsterdam, i can agree those are good places but the majority of people want a cheap living place i assume, and those are super expensive living places, when you say you want to go somewhere to play live you should say if you want to go on vacation/work or you really want to grind your ass off, your stakes help to since if you play 5/10 the fishiness is way more important then living expenses.

When I was trying to read up on where there were good games, I found a bit of good stuff on Vienna, apparently 3 casinos, and a guy who lived there talked to me, sent me a pm on Reddit, said games ran most of the hours, and they had 1-1, 1-2 and 2-5. And it wasnt that expensive for hotells nearby. Sounds pretty cool. Since then u can grind from the evening till midnight, or a little over in the weekends, and have a pretty good rhtyhm.

Thx U guys for all answers! I only going to play in my vication in the summer, not going to live for a long time Also any stakes up to 5-10!
Been to London couple of times, okey games there, but dont fancy the city for vication

The best option is to aim for EPT tournaments in Europe, during that time the cash games running are juicy as hell - a lot of players just travel to play those, instead of tournaments.

Outside of that, probably most of the major EU cities with big casinos: London, Wien, Prague, Berlin.

Okey, EPT season is over and not starting up before late august.

Anyone have a good site with schedule over tournaments running in europe this summer?

Just check PokerStars - they run most of the series in Europe: European Poker Tour, Eureka Poker Tour, Italian one, Irish one, etc.

Besides that you also have WPT, ParadisePokerTour, Uinbet Open, HESOP/EMOP/GSOP, Betfair Live.

I think those are all main ones, but EPT is the biggest and juiciest obviously.
