Any of you guys know of a good place to catch a nice little tournament in france (excluding the Aviation club)?

France is big.
Maybe you can be more precisely where in france.

I know there are some tournaments in Deauville, cannes etc
There is also a partouche poker tour http://www.partouchepokertour.com/site/

I would check the Partouche web site where you ll find a list of the Casinos from that group.

As a side note, to avoid surprises, cards are a bit different there, the A K Q J is in fact A R D V ( for AS ROI DAME VALET ).

Is this the only place in the world the cards are different?

no, the dutch cards have AHVB.

Must be pretty fun to play in a lot of different countries and have to figure out how to say all-in or raise. I actually don t know all the words in french as I learned in the US.

For example in france ( for what I know )

call= paie "pay"
fold= passe "pass"
All in= tapis "tah-pi" this means felt or mat
chips= jeton
donk=MrD or Vit depending the table you are at.

No, the typical American would have said it was stupid for other places to use other cards and they should all conform to the same as us.

I was asking to be educated...but thanks for the typical british insult anyways!

Plus, never on the WPT or anything have I seen them use different cards!

And after doing my research, I have found that even the "suits" are different among different countries!

I think we've seen a picture of you on a bike where all you were missing was the trucker's hat.
