Oh nice, I'm coming up to the coast next tuesday/wednesday with some mates, we'll definitely be hitting the casino. You should come if you have some spare time.

Brisbane is where the rake is too high, Melbourne is actually pretty decent if you're playing anything higher than 1/2nl.

I have a friend who works for some kind of management for queensland gambling and he says that they're in the process of bringing pokerpro machines to the treasury with no-limit holdem on them, and they have also been approved to have no-limit tables and may open some of those up in the future.

Yeah I've basically been playing constantly for the past 2 years. What stakes do you play?

5% isnt too bad, is your friend's name Josh by any chance? Low stakes, $50NL
