You could do much worse than get yourself of to the Perla Hotel & Casino, in Nova Gorica, Slovenia.

Cracking 5* Hotel for about €100 / night (dicounted rate for poker players).
Good cardroom.
Good casino.
Friendly people.
Very cheap.
Fly to Trieste with RyanAir... Hotel provide free transfers from/top airport.

Contact cardroom manager, Bojan at pokerroom@hit.si
Checkout their website at www.hit.si

If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.

The Paris Open next month should be good. At the famed Aviation Club de Paris on the Champs Elysee, they have €100 rebuy, €1000 freezeout, €500 Freezeout, €150 rebuy super sat for main event and €2000 Main Event. Cheap to get to by train or flying and a nice city to boot.  ;D

This was the event where Tony G got stuck into Surinder, see here  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rN_Dvtr7alw

Can definitely recommend The Venetian Deepstack tournament.  Hubby and I went to Vegas to try our luck and play in some of the lower buy in WSOP tournaments.  But with a buy in of $1,500 and a starting stack of 3k they didn"t seem as such good value as The Venetian"s Deepstack of $500 10k starting stack (weekends), $300 6k starting stack (week days).  During their two week festival The Venetian had between 500 to 600 entries for each of the tournaments and you had to register the night before to guarantee entry as that was their capacity.

Outside of "The Festival" the tournaments are still run but attracted around 100-120 entrants.

Of course the main attraction is still the WSOP and "mega" satellites are held with a buyin of $500 or $1000.  These are a mini tournament in themselves.  The $500 buy in I did had 610 participants.

Las Vegas is a great place to visit.

I have to agree... but they were specifically looking at Europe.

your best bet is to check the hendon mob site"s festival database - http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/festival.php?a=l

A glance at March reveals an Olympic Poker Series in Warsaw (750 euros) and the Vienna Spring Poker Festival.


Not to mention the APAT European event which I see is being held in Na this year..........


Typo? NORWAY begins with NO not NA. That would be a great idea at this time of year...

Oh, looking at the diary I seem to be in Norway about then...
