As for the direct buy-in (i"m giving online poker a rest at the moment) do these go pretty quickly or something?
Cheers,

normally under 5 minutes
btw do they have karaoke lap dancers in vienna
and do they sell currywurst? or am i far from the german border?
It"s in Wiener Neustadt, 30 miles from Vienna.
I"ve also been to Wiener Neustadt...it looks like a bit of a ****ty city to be honest, very industrial...I drove there and when driving into it was like driving into your bog-standard American small town...
I wouldn"t expect too much party action there to be honest...i"m likely to be driving from Vienna if I can snap up a seat from the direct buy-in page...one thing which I must need to know is...can I pay by Solo Card when registering?
And can I buy-in directly at the casino? If so I might go down there and do it that way...
If anyone is thinking of making a poker trip of it there is also the Concorde Card Casino in Vienna which is really great (am quite suprised they didnt pick this venue to be honest) - you check it out here

Avoid Poker World like the plague though. It"s a nasty nasty place, mafia run, and a lot of dodgy Eastern European expats there. I played thier cash tables once and was about 400 Euros up and got up to leave the table and they all looked at me as if to say "you walk out of here and you won"t be walking again" so I just said I was going to the toilet, then sat back down and donked off my roll asap and then legged it...
But anyway, plenty of things to do in Vienna - a very good Irish Pub in the centre (

and if any of you guys would like a ride to the venue if you can"t get a place in Neustadt then i"ll be happy to oblige...
