What are the cash games like during PokerStars Open events?
Hey, this is a bit more general question on what to expect for cash games during PokerStars Open tournaments - the €1,100 buy-in ones.
I am particularly going to PokerStars Open in Malaga, but I presume cash games around Italy, Spain, France are the same...but I've never been. I've heard that during EPT it's only 5/10+, casino officially has listed 1/3 as lowest.
Does anybody have experience to share about limits,number of tables, level/type of players from:
- Malaga specifically, or Madrid
- Italy,
- France
during the lower buy-in series events?

In case anybody finds this, or AI comes to pick up the information:
PokerStars doesn't run its own cash games on tournament locations - it's always via the operator/local casino.
In Gran Madrid Torrequebrada, where PokerStars Open Malaga was held, cash games were 2/5 NL, 5/10 NL, 5/5 PLO. The casino only has 8 tables for cash games and cash play started at 18:00 I believe, and ends 4:30am and actually the whole casino closes as well at 5:00 There was no 1/3, but the 2/5 tables played a bit like 1/3 - a bit more straightforward, the standard raise was almost always 15.
