	Great night out. I will post an event soon 'The First Official EF Poker Night Out' or words to that effect. I will go into a bit more detail about last night later (am tired now) but will mention briefly that i was not that impressed with how lax they are with dress code other than that no complains at all. Nice Venue and well organised event. I lasted just over 2.5 hours, my mistake was that i folded a hand that i shouldnt have, then the blinds went up and i just bled till the end. I think also i left my poker face at home, it was my first tournement so at first was a tad dawnting. I cant wait till next time. Count so far: down CHF150

Im off to LA & Vegas on Monday and was planning on doing the Poker Night before then but due to the disease i have (lazyness) i did not get round to it.

I will defo sort one when i am back.

Thanks

And another one: Al - Zurich - Have been playing only for a year or so, private games, beginner/moderate player (optimist )

Cheers

Matthew - based in Zurich. Played in poker clubs and casinos in the UK for a few years. Please add me to the list.

Kristen (plus hubby, Mark) - Zurich - played here and there over the years mostly with friends and family for under 100

Alright Lads hows it going.....i think we've built a big enough list i dont have an apartment as yet....but lets shuffle up and deal........

So despite all the apparent interest on the list it was once again impossible to get 6 people together at the weekend to sit down and play (See my event). So I checked out the pokertour.ch event in Kaufleuten today. I am a more successful cash game player than tournament or SnG player, but took the lazy option of the 10minute tram ride, rather than make a trip to Grand Baden last night.
Anyway, the quality is absolutely God awful. I love Switzerland already! People happy to pay CHF200 plus fee to sit down and then play in a way where they can only ever possibly lose. I played a CHF200+30 tourney and then a 100+20 SNG. The structure was ok (have played worse and a lot better blind schedules, and the standard of play is bad enough to make up for 20% Vim so I will more than likely go again sometime, but would still like to find some like minded players for a weekly cash game.

If the list is still open;

mirfield - Basel. Been playing a few years but only played against real people a couple of times (plus a bit of Facebook poker).

[Gwendy]

Gwendy - Lachen/Pfäffikon SZ - just learned last month, still need practice on a poker face, total beginner but can learn fast...

Hi guys,

Im looking to buy some nice poker chips, perhaps ceramic and cant seem to find a decent shop where I can go and not order online as the postage really increases the price.

Anybody have some ideas or even a set they want to sell?

[trollte]

trollte - Basel - I've played online poker, and have been successful sometimes, and it's a great way to learn. Also had a couple of poker nights back home with friends

[alex_1981]

Zug - I've played quite a bit online and the odd live tournament. Up for some private games in people's flats etc. and happy to take my rotation in the hosting.

I have an 8 seater table in the UK which even has drinks holders. Its black felt and folds up nicely. Bought it from John Lewis with 3 slick silver cases full of chips. Not quite sure how to get it over here without paying some crazy postage.......but if you are ever in west london let me know.

You could go "All in", or she could perform a "straddle"... yeah I know - hilarious!

[djlarazza]

Ben - Played poker for about 6 months.. Would love to join!!

[Mizzy-in-Swizzy]

I love playing poker and so does my boyfriend, its how we met. There are several bars in Zurich that hold poker games, so im sure wouldnt be too much trouble finding somewhere to play. I would love to come to something like that and also to meet people too. Im british, boyfriend is native swiss. You might not want him to play though he came 151st in the main event at the wsop this year, but does mean he has the buy-in for both of us lol.

Hope it happens and i get to meet some of you.
