Is the shangrila (spelling?) limit only?

Blitzy, what does "Macau is probably the easiest" mean? A genuine question as I am interested and kinda innocent too maybe! Also, can I ask what I should read into "there's all sorts of rumours flying around at the mo ........."?
Now another query if I may ............. I'm really keen on getting back to live poker after a few years -- does Macau have 7-stud and 5-draw tables or is it only Tex Hold'em (grrrr) everywhere nowadays? Thanks in advance for any reply.

Maybe I should add that money poker in pubs is actually illegal and "against the Law". Not that I have any moral issue against it -- I've played enough of it over the years. But, a publican could in fact be prosecuted and in the worst case scenario lose his licence for permitting it on his premises.

The best place to find a 5-draw game on in the city is the Garda club on a Monday night. If there could be better evidence of the Gardai not giving a flying about poker in pubs, I don't think I could find it.

The Macau is probably the easiest because it's in the same place every night . It's a pain to have to go looking for different pubs around the city if you're not local. Even with what the lads are sayinghere, it's nice to have consistent rules as well. I personally also find it difficult to be in a pub and not drink.

There's a full weekly tournament list on their website (afaik). It's all no-limit hold'em these days. They used to play Omaha but I think it died out due to lack of players and lack of trained dealers.

About the rumours - there's so many of them flying around I don't know what to believe. You can find most of them in the poker forum.

Excellent. Many thanks for that. Most helpful info.

Heh, that's some irony for sure re the venue on Penrose Quay.
