Have been looking for info on Barcelona poker. I am here now, so this info should be of use to anyone thinking of going.


One casino in Barcelona: Gran Casino Barcelona

poker runs from 4pm until 5am.

10 cashgame tables and 25 to 30 tournament tables.

4pm usually 5 full tables or so open and continue thro out.

2 by 1 3 NLH tables, 2 by 2 5 NLH tables,

1 by 1 2 Dealers choice (4 card PLO or NLH only). Effectively this is a 1 2 PLO game.

They get a 5 10 PLO started maybe 6pm.
Maybe a 5 10 NLH.

Rake 5% capped at 10 Euro, and 5 10 games: 2.5% capped at 20 Euro.
English is fine as it is understood by dealers and staff generally.
9 handed tables. A person sitting out gets a missed blind button, but a second person sitting out has to pay the blinds while absent.

need a passport for casino entry every day.

Poker room is very professionally run.

Dealers choice is plenty of action, the 1 3 NLH mostly regulars.

Sounds like a poker destination to check out for sure, thanks for the info. With that many tourmament tables, does that mean there's a daily tourny?

Their tournament schedule is available on their website.

a great city to visit, went there for EPT a few years back, that was chaos (200 names on the wait for cash games) but outside the festival a few locals said its decent action/value

Anyone going to Barcelona for the PSC?

Good report! How often is the NL 5/10 running? Is value good at nl 2/5 and higher?
