Holland Casino, Amsterdam

ghostface ste

Heading to Amsterdam in a couple of weeks and was wondering does anyone know what the poker is like in Holland Casino there? Is there tournies as well as cash? Cheers

worked right next to it ( in hard rock cafe) and saw it was always quite busy. i'd reckon there would be a few poker things going on in there. its pretty huge.

I did notice that on previous trips alright...

Theyve 2/4Limit with 100 person waiting lists. Other than that theyve a fairly soft 10/20 Limit game, didnt bother playing the NL games - was on a list was happy in the limit game when the seat came up. I THINK it was 5-5 NL but may have been 5-10. They have tournaments aswell but no idea of schedule.

Mont

Cash 5 -10 NL, was there last year, min buyin - 250, average stack when i played was 800 approx. so not too bad a game, genuinely youngish looking players with the odd token old fella/asian guy thrown in

standard beatable

Take a break from poker imo.

Vodka, weed, brazzers ftw. (not in that order, well maybe)

I didnt think of a deck of cards when i was there anyway

Generally find its weed, vodka, brazzers in that order 5th trip so thought might try the casino one of the days. Cheers for all the info everyone

Mr.Plough

weed over there is lethal imo.

I payed a waitress in the bulldog 5 euro to stop looking at me. She wasn't obv

ghostface ste

She prob was staring at you in the Bulldog alright!! Favourite coffee shop over there is Rusland, bit out of the way but well worth a visit for anyone heading over

my 4 roommates worked in the greenhourse coffee shop when i was over there. barneys and damp ring not bad either.

I was there last november, played in the master classics tourney, good-action cash games, pretty soft. Probably the best run casino in europe, watch out you dont get knocked down by the army of bicycles, also check out the banana bar, dodgy but good fun.

Met a mate of mine from my old job last night and he was back from the the dam a couple of weeks, said he had to eat one of those bananas from a certain part of the female anatomy, he was like wtf? One of his mates then got the leather belt treatment. Seems like it's worth a spin over there.....

lol I was there, didn't know it was the same place. My friend woke up the next day and had "THE END" written in poor handwriting across his chest with a permanent marker.

sorry for (slightly) off-topic,

kashmir lounge ftw jan pieter heijenstraat between kinkerstraat and overtoom.

mattresses on the floor, beer on tap and good music being spun by a dj in
the corner. best place for chilling in the city.
bit away from the typical tramping zones.

trip report please when you get back steve. I'm moving to Amsterdam in September.

Once you see what €50 buys you it's very difficult to sit there making several hundred Euro river donk bluffs with a busted flush.

Never was a QFT more deserving imo.

Is this the least poker related thread in the poker forum? A mild pretence doesn't count

kebabfest

Did you poker then ?

Mr.Plough

Do people not think you're a creep when you tell them you're moving to amsterdam?

It's not good imo. I stayed away from the old mushys but weed over there is so much stronger than what you get here. Having some weird dutch dude stare you down doesn't help one bit if you're likely to be paro.
