Just want to clarify...so there is no rake right? The 100 that goes to the 'tab' can all be used towards drinks/food?
Thanks |

No rake. 100 goes to whatever you want to use it for inside the restaurant.

Had a great time playing poker last night at Red Beat. 100 buy in, with an option to a second and last buy. More than 10 people played, I was up to around 300 but lost in an all in move.... he had a low straight, i had a pair king, the river killed me. They were still playing at 11, when i left. |

there was 5 of us and I went all in at 11.30 and lost. We both had 2 x Jacks but he had an ace kicker. I imagine they went till past midnight.....i was too tired to continue.
Next time, we really should raise the pot because 1 and 2 chips blinds takes too long. Some people have to work on Monday mornings.
I think the pot was 2,000 Y. |

the 1-2 chips blind is good enough for a fun game...just need to start early. I think they plan to start at 5:00 this coming sunday. Well, i wish i could go, but will start my May holidays this week-end..
I am sure i will join when i get back.. |

Does anybody knows about the oliver's game and how i can get to it?
I've heard that the main organiser of oliver's game is called alan and so does anybody know how to get to him? please advise ^^
i'm eager to hop into a holdem house games rather than pub's because you can't really concentrate with all the babes around. |

Oliver's game is the Beaver Lodge. It is run by Alan who also runs expatpoker.com
Be careful though, one place (Max's) was recently raided, and all cash in the place was confiscated, the owners also facing some jail time. |

| Post subject: Live Poker Games? |
Hey guys, I just recently moved to Shanghai from the states. I was wondering if anyone could fill me in on the poker situation here. I was browsing through the site and found some interesting posts but not really any information I was looking for. I want to find a decent NL HE cash game with buyins from 500-4000RMB. I am hoping to find a game for every night of the week but I'll take what I can get. Hope I can get some help! You can pm me or email me at adamxiyu.yang@gmail.com. Anyhow appreciate the time guys, take it easy!
Adam |

Off the top of my head - Racks (some evenings), Bubba's (weekend), Melrose Pizza (wed)
I think iLoveShanghai was doing poker at one point too.
There are some real money games with >5k minimums, but you need to know people. |

yeah, no ones going to allow a stranger in at the moment after some of the things that have been happening in the past month or so.
Be careful at the moment everyone. Especially in open places like bars and restaurants. |
