Hey buddy, sorry but cannot disclose at this time. I hope you understand. will let you know soonest.

sure.. no problem.. really looking fwd to it!

Can anyone on this forum shed some light on the general poker scene in Goa. If I were to plan a 2-3 days visit (maybe a weekend getway), can I just show up in Goa anytime and count on finding a game that runs thru the whole day/night? If yes, please share the game/casino details and what's the closest place to stay. Primary purpose being Poker and not touristy things - any place that gives max flexibility to catch a game without being heavy on pocket!

The poker scene is Goa is picking up, only casino royale offers holdem.. the casino is opne from 8:00 PM to 8:00 AM.. u can definitely find a game there.. however not too many players, 1-2 tables runnin at the most.. casino royale is on a ship n u need to get on a speedboat which u have to board from panjim city.. the best hotel nearby is Marriott n these guys offer a free pick n drop from the hotel.. the game is 10k min buyin, blinds 100/200 NLHE.. the game normally picks up arnd 11:00PM n goes on till 8 in d morning.. at the end the players generally raise the stakes to 500/1000 if everyone agrees.. all in all its good fun..

cant wait to get on that boat near the 26 sept weekend

There are quite a few events...you could go to www.iprt.in and click on the IPRT members forum button on any page. All the details are listed there...If any trouble finding it then let me know..

Jim, I am interested in playing in these Sep events; but to be able to plan my travel etc - it will help to know the whole finalized schedule / event venue and all the other details such as preferred hotel rates/arrangements right now. Earlier you freeze those aspects - the more time the players will get to plan their trip.

i agree to that point...wud like to know how big is the event in september in goa...wht is the buyin for the tournament...etc etc wud help us to plan our schedule..!! as u said all the details r on the forum i did go thr and cant see anything..!!

Raj, i agree with you, however, we are going to wait till mid August to get a feel of the response. We have to spread the word about the IPRT event in Sep 09 and get members interested to participate. We would like all of us to invite friends to the event.
We have spoken to hotels etc but we need more participants to make this event into a big one. Otherwise, it may not be economically viable.

Jim... Can you at least confirm which week are you looking at? Is it Sep 19-27 or Sep 25-Oct 4. I want to plan time off from work and start making bookings!
