hi monkey, guess I will swing by in the casino if I am in dunedin. but will take a while till I come down!
I was in the casino, but didnt play the main event. some smaller turneys arround. but no good results.
about the homegame thing. would prefer to play a really home game. better then some crapshot turneys in a bar. the stakes dont have to be very hi. 10/20 gummy bears. unfutunetaly I cant offer my place to play. but may someone else? looking forward!
Man.. I shoulda posted here.. I was considering going in to watch some APPT action but couldn't be arsed.. missed an excellent excuse for a beer (or to try Monteiths new cider).
Home game I'm cool with but am unable to host either. Ah well, hopefully someone will come up with some options.
[ ] extremely optimistic. 
c'mon guys, auckland is such a big city! even in my home twon in germany (50k people) we had a regular home game round every month!!!
Was anyone at the stadium tonight for the NZ v Bahrain World Cup qualifier? HOW AWESOME WAS THAT!!!!!
Hey Kiwis ;-)
maybe you can help me to find a place to stay in New Zealand in January. I am from Germany and I study business engineering. I am at the end of my studies now and I have to write my bachelor thesis. I want to combine this task with new experiences. It would be great if I could write this thesis in NZ. NZ is a country I wanted to visit for years now. For me it is better to get out of my familiar environment to concentrate on the things I want to do: Writing the thesis, playing poker (NL50-NL100) and experience NZ. What I need is a place to stay and internet connection. Maybe you can help me?!
Thanks, Thomas
G'day GameAndWatch. 
January is a great time to look for accomodation in New Zealand as everyone tends to move around this time - given it is our summer holiday period.
These sites should be useful - bare in mind I haven't looked for a flat (apartment/house) in a while:
Hope this helps!
If you're looking for a flat in Auckland, I'll keep an ear out in case I hear of anything.
Good luck! 
Thanks alot, Waiboy!
There should be no problem to find something with the given links, but if you have something proper, please let me know! A poker player accomondation would be perfect I think, to get the most of it :-)
Hey guys, I just signed up here and I'm from Auckland!
Just here for the holidays though, go to uni in Dunedin.
gdjonline and my good self are likely making one of our periodic trips to the Casino between Christmas and New Years to donk off a stack or two with AA.
So if there is a chance you're in the 'tron on the 27th or Auckland the 28th give us a yell and you can buy us both a beer and tell us how this NL thing works exactly.
And if I don't see you before, have an OARSOME Christmas yous fullas! GO KIWI!!!♠_cool:
Aucklander here too, uni student, though not old enough to blow half my bankroll at skycity just yet. Anyone play thursdays at citygolf? Probably not, I've been there once and like 3 people there could play. They had some (annual?) freeroll there, which I was card dead in throughout and still managed to fold my way to $190 for 5th!
Hey Genkidesuka!
What's this freeroll? Sounds awesome!
Hope the new year treats you well and we'll catchya around the forums.

Oh god I hope not... I'm a DotA purist, and I hate the little, subtle changes they've made to HoN. I'd so much prefer it if all they did was give it a direct graphics upgrade, and all the reconnection/stats/lobbies etc the client gives.
As for the freeroll, its biannually as far as I can tell. You gain access by winning a 14-18ish man $15 BI SnG, with $10 rebuys/addons. $10 + rebuys go to the prize pool and $5 funds the freeroll at the end. Still ridiculously +++++EV as the players are awful.
Escobario, you're not MrEscobar from BA/MCity/etc are you?
yea thats me ,i was talking about a 30000k dota tourney too not a freeroll. quite a large sum indeed
