Re: Moving to Buenos Aires discussion

I am definitely in the "pizza sucks here" camp, but I have heard good things about El Cuartito, so lets give it a try. Tuesday 9:00 PM.

I live in the U.S. and have been hooking up with an Argentine for the last few months and she gives the most loving head I have ever had fwiw.

Pretty similar. There are tons of restaurants in Palermo Soho / Viejo but more spread out whereas in Las Canitas they are densely packed onto one main drag and the road parallel.

Nearest subte is Palermo subte so the same in that regard.

I used to live in Las Cantitas but prefer Palermo because it's livelier / more bars.

Sorry gents, I have plans. But I've been there before, not a bad pie. Spinach pizza with salsa blanca was very good. I'll try my best to make it next week.

Im an argentinian 22 years old. I`ll try to start participating in this thread, maby I can help you guys with some doubts. I play full tilt 1/2 1/.5 nl my screen is lrpoker.

I own a house at Punta del Este, I vacation there since I was born for 1 month or so every year.

I can tell you that the good days start with the summer, but specially after chrismas ( weather and people ). You should expect at least 20 days with lots o movment and night life, and maby 15 / 20 more days after 15 of january but far less people.

The high season has shortned a lot in the last years, and I can tell by my experience ( and I know a bunch of people wh live there all year ) that Punta del Este is a gohst town 10 out of 12 months.

Not comparable to Bs As in any sense. It is a small city with no infraestructure or any kind of social / cultural life beyond summer.

I'll recomend going a few days for New Year,, lots of partys going on and you`ll see argentinean most beautiful girls all together there.

Luis.

Anyone have any experience of the casino boats in Puerto Madero?

Do they offer poker? If so, what type, blinds and level of players?

Re: Moving to Buenos Aires discussion

I have been back to the states for a few weeks now. But I spent 1.5 months in BA and then backpacked through Uruguay, Chile, Bolivia, and Peru in another 1.5 month span. It is cool to see a new thread on this as the last thread was what motivated me to live in BA. Maybe I will post a big trip report and start contributing in this thread a little bit.

last time i went there was a horrible structure with a 20 pesos ante and a 1000 peso max buy in. rake was 10% uncaped.
if you want to buy in in the middle of a match ( every 2 hours they cash out and start again ) you have to do it with the average of the table.
play is very soft. there are some regulars, but they are donks. The play usually goes prety slow.
Not good imo.

Re: Moving to Buenos Aires discussion

Hey,

Two of us got in today, staying in Palermo Soho, but we can meet up anywhere. If anyone wants to dinner, or go out, or walk around and show us some places give us a call at 1558770915. We are a little hesitant to do too much exploring on our own after nightfall.
