Hey guys, it's been a while since I've blogged. I'll probably make a big update in a week or two when I've got nothing else to do sitting on a plane or in the airport, but for now I have a question.

I'm gonna be studying in Sydney at UNSW this next semester, and I couldn't help but wonder what the live games were like. Are the best games found at casinos? Which are the best ones? I'm 19 so I can't play in casinos in the States, but I'm pretty sure you can gamble at 18 in Australia, no?

Basically I just wanna have somewhere fun to cooldown/unwind on a weekend or two and maybe play some low stakes soft games and pay for the next week's drinking while I'm at it.

Also if anyone wants to hang out or something I'll be arriving July 5th and I'm not gonna be doing much for the first few days except checking out the city. I'll be staying in Coogee Beach.

Uh I guess this is how blogs work:

the only live cash games are at starcity casino, and yeh u can play as long as your over 18

its soft but rakes ridiculously high, 10% cap at $8 + $5 per hour timecharge

aside from that theres pokerdome? (not sure if it shut down now though? and its not near coogee), which hosts live turbo sng's
