Hey!

I´m swedish guy travelling around in South America at the moment and looking for a good place with live action in Bolivia, Peru or Colombia. I´m new to 2+2 so maybe I´m missing a obvious thread about this subject but I´m travelling without computer and internet is quite bad so if that´s the case just direct me there, please. At the moment I´m in La Paz and have been asking around abot casinos in the city but the people are telling me that all of them are shut down.

During my trip I´ve been entering some casinos but all of them have just been having this ****ty video poker-game or something like that, that´s been in Chile and Argentina. What I´m looking for is some texas holmem cash games or tournaments.

Thanks in advance

tjena fan! (the extent of my swedish language )

well, no. - never heard anything in bolivia (never been but highly doubt there is anything legit/normal stakes that runs regularly).

Chile and argentina actually have action, but buenos aires and vina del mar is all I know about specifically. Chile LAPT final table tomorrow btw, glgl Johann!

Lima - Peru has plenty of action at various stakes. Trujillo has a casino but pretty much an absolute joke/scam from everything I hear, including a tourney they just ran that got like 20k prizepool, but casino directors decided they wanted like half of that for themselves and just took it out of the prizepool. Also many accounts of scamming/softplaying/collusion in places in Lima.

Colombia generally has very low stakes, although ~50NL runs in bogota and medellin. I know cartagena has a casino, no idea the action.

Brazil prob has the biggest poker scene, and for tourneys LAPT is basically all that runs that is worth it to play, as well as alot of BSOP events.

Basically if you are looking to play for profit and not just recreation, ur out of luck besides Lima.

Hey!

Sorry for my late reply and thanks for the info! That swedish is good enough for be fluent up north, we usually dont talk so much.

I'm in Lima now and are leaving for Bogota on the 5th so I 've 2 nights were I could hit a casino here in Lima. Which one is the best do you guys reckon? Seems to be plenty of them. And also, where the best place to go to in Bogota and Medellin? These are the two citites I'll visit in Colombia before goin to Brazil and the world cup.

Thanks in advance

atlantic city and fiesta in lima. gl not getting scammed/colluded against/raped with rake.

Bogota - rockefellers is all I know of - oscark iirc is on 2p2 and is the manager of that casino. mention 2p2 and he might give ya a free drink

medellin has very low stakes action. As de espadas (google or look on fb) is a poker club run by friends of mine that is legit...but stakes of like 100NL basically. On calle 33 iirc in laureles. Also Casino Allegre weekend nights may have bigger action - located close to poblado in a big shopping mall - open plaza maybe? It's been awhile - you should be able to google all of those casino names for phone number and location.

honestly just wait for brazil where you are much more likely to find something above micro-limits for cash games and something bigger than a $50 tournament.
