Hi man, I lived in Lisbon for 5 months 5 yeara ago and will be returning this summer for a month. It's an awsome city all in all, from local people, food and the atmsphere. At that time when I was there, there was only a 5-10 game in the Casino, so you are saying that there is also a 1-2 game played all the time?

I was also wondering if somebody knows, are there any underground poker rooms?? Maybe Portuguese could answer that. Does anyone have any info regarding that?

Tnx guys
