blonde poker forum

Depending on various opportunities that may or may not happen in the next few months I may end up having 3-6 months off work to sort my life out and have a bit of fun. For those who have travelled around, where in the world would you go to play some poker, have some fun and relax. I've been to Vegas plenty of times, so I guess I'm just trying to find out if Vegas really is the best bet or is there somewhere else that could be worth investigating.

I went to Barcelona a few months ago and the 20/40 fixed limit game is full of total donks so this is one option. All suggestions welcome and why please, or is Vegas unmatchable?

Thanks

I'm told gibraltar (of all places) has a nice poker scene these days..loads of STT's and MTT's in the pubs and of course `cash games afterwards..and not expensive to stay

The ass hole of Europe!


VOC

I thought that was Wales?..or was that the armpit?

and what does VOC stand for?!!!!

That's no way to speak about Boldie!

Woodsey in answer to your question in terms of poker there is no way you can beat Vegas.

If you want to have fun and relax and also play online then your options are endless

lol

I was speaking to a Las Vegas based pro and he said the best poker action was in Los Angeles at the Commerce and Bike.  I find Vegas a bit too much OTT and after a couple of weeks it becomes quite tiresome.

I have the same problem with Vegas actually, much more than a week there and I've had enough TBH. I've thought about LA, but the casinos are in the worst bits of town, I'm not sure I fancy that if I'm on my own. Having said that I could do a bit of flying over there and be within easy reach of both.

Anyone been to Melbourne? Or is there a scene in South Africa anyone knows of?

Do some flying in CA and you can rent a plane to vegas on the weekends :D

don't fancy my chances of getting home safely ;D

spot on advice.

aruba  superb  too

europe     the ACF paris on the champs elysees      an incredible experience too.

On a recent trip to the states a few guys told me tha action in Tunica is the best anywhere. I didn't think anyone here would have been, but out of interest has anyone? What was it like?

Aruba - now haven't been, but that has to be a good shout from portfolio.

Sun, sea and sooted connectors.

Melbournes poker room is as big as anywhere in vegas and players seem to think they are better than what they are. Always plenty of action

If i had a few months off and playing live poker was a priority i'd head there.

Great food, great standard of living. Plenty of top quality sporting action year round. Near Danni Minogue (unless she lives in the UK, which she probably does). All good

Have you thought about Spain, you could startat the top and work your way down. The main plus for this is the cost of living an.d the size of games needed to cover your costs.you can find lots of short term apts  booze and cigs cheap very good weather so you are not always under the cosh to find your costs every day.If you do not have to find car hire and hotel bills every week you can have a very pleasant 6 months with no stress.New rooms are opening there all the time so if you are adaptable and can play most games at a reasonable level you should be OK and if things run bad yuo can always pop into barca to build the float back up.     I am beginning to sound like the Spanish tourist board sorry.... ;goodluck;

6 months r and r and looking for action-may i suggest some remand time care of h.m.p. services though u should be looking to secure a place asap as theyre often overbooked. all sorts of advantages to be gained,the obvious free room and board,no travelling expenses and if u play kalooki lots of action,most of it loose aggressive but the screws cant help it,i think its a requirement of employment.

Costa Del Sol area has a great poker scene with new bars, clubs appearing all over.....

Any info on where to play in spain, other than the casino in Barcelona I wouldn't have a clue where to start?

I am trying to get a seek and destroy itinery sorted for the back end of April to cover a month or so. I am doing this with the intention of shifting the boat down there permanently. So far I have managed to identify 3 or 4 places in the Fuengirola Marbella area. Further to the north Cabo Roig  nr Alicante. The biggest problem I am having is getting info without actually being there. It is illegal so ti is understandable that people do not wish to advertise. I have been trying to get info from the marbella kids web site but there is nothing there.  A mate went down there last year 20 year pro not heard much since so he must be having it off. I did speak with a dealer in the Concord last september who had just returned from the south he said a new place would be opening down theresoon  and he would be going to work there well he is no longer in the ccc. The Spanish poker association web site doesnt have much info either. here are supposed to be 49 poker clubs in Spain that was last years figure so its a case of tracking them down. If you get anything solid pop it on here thanks....
