Hi Chris,

The only regular hold'em poker game I know of in Cyprus is at the Celebrity Casino in Lapethos in the North.

They have a regular no limit tournament every thursday. The buy-ins are CyP 7.00 for 2000 chips. Blinds for the first half hour stages are 25:50, 50:100, 75:150. During the first three stages there are options to rebuy.

I know the Celebrity also stages cash games (pot-limit) as well. They also have a nightly 5 card stud cash game and a card room offering kalouki, Konga, Anathassi and Bogarize (rummy variants).

You can reply privately if you need any further assistance.

Hi Chris

I regularly play on Thursdays at the celebrity and can highly recommend it, there was also a game this Sunday, i didn't win but had a good night out for £15.

had to throw in my 2 pence worth here.

i cetrtainly wouldn' t live in the north.

firstly, i think there is definitely a moral issue here- why do you think the prices are so much lower? - because in effect they are selling 'stolen' property.

secondly, on our visit over there i was disgusted at how filthy the turks are, i wouldn,t live there if they paid me!!!
they have no self-respect, and obviously do not take care of the land, as they obviously feel its not theirs!!
they are happy to live in the squalor and filth because they didn't pay for it.

you may find work out there because they're too lazy to work.
and from other forums i have read they make their money by fleecing and cheating the tourists.
i'm not so blind to know some of this doesn't go on in the south, but it is illegal over here to build on or sell property that belongs to the turks.

This is what chrisp thinks of the north and TC's. I wouldn't waste my time with a moron like her.
