Also, playing from shoes (as opposed to playing from CSM) in AU usually means you have to play from a HL room (again.. that $100 min..) but you can't just wander in there, you have to play rated, and use your card to get in the room. As an International guest that shouldn't be too hard to get sorted - get in touch with one of the hosts from any of the Casinos should be able to help out.
All casinos in AU are Variations on ENHC - in Sydney for example, if the dealer gets BJ, you only lose one hand if you have split or doubled. Surrender? LOL.
TBH, conditions in AU are shit.

Having said that, I'll be over there next week myself.
How about poker games, any idea? (No limit Texas hold em and pot limit Omaha)
