what do you recommend?

all the chilaquiles(best with chikin imo) ive had were amazing also loved the poblano crepes

You guys should have a Facebook group for sending out events if you don't already and if you do can I get an invite.

Eager to get back partying in playa.

just a skype group

Whats the best gym here in playa?(Price wise?) Evolve and "the new gym" are like 750 pesos per month, which isn't horrible but I'm sure theres some ones with pretty much the same stuff for cheaper. Might just go with evolve.

Hi there,

I am going to be living here in PdC for a while. I am Dutch poker player, from Amsterdam. I've been living off poker for the last 5 years and traveling for 4 of them.

I hung out with the 2+2 Buenos Aires community two years ago. It was awesome back then with daily dinners and activities (football games, go karting, paintball etc). I just went back to Buenos Aires, but the community was pretty dead. There used to be up to 30 players at meeting and now there were maybe 5-6 at max. I used to be awesome, so I want contribute to setting up something similar here in PdC

Anyway I am up for activities here and will organize things myself once I am set up.

IMPORTANT!: can anybody send me a link to the skype group (PM)? Thanks a lot,

I'd send you a link to the Skype group if I knew how. It's pretty active. Looking forward to getting there in 12 days

So what is the best way to cash out here in PDC? In Rosarito it was easy because I had a USD account, but I can't get one here. I just did a bank xfr from PS to my mexican account and just got raped so hard in fees/conversions.

in rosarito could you transfer from MB USD acct --> USD (mex)bank acct?
also you have found the cheapest way to cashout in playa afiak.

Seems crazy that you can't use that same Rosarito bank account in PDC

Yeah thats what I used to do.It was sooooooooo easy. I just lost like 10% on my cashout going from stars bank xfr to peso account

Also do you think going from USD Stars to USD MB than to Peso I would lose less? Maybe the exchange rate is better from USD to Pesos instead of Euros to Pesos?

I am organizing a meeting tonight at restaurant "Origenes" (Calle 38 y Flamingos), at 9PM. Food is mexican fusion, I went there before, very good stuff. Probably going out for some drinks afterwards.

Let me know when you are coming: 0449841672037 Or let me know here on the forum.

I doubt you lost 10%, I think 4-5% is standard

I think the stars-->MB--->Peso acct is very close in terms of vig, I believe Shaniac made a post in the mexican banking thread showing the different vigs

bolivar said he cashed out 4k US and it cost him roughly 25 US, and that got him pesos. Stars -> Peso Bank Acct.

Yeah, is there some Mexico nuance here that doesn't let you change your address to a different State?

supposing you make more than your living expenses, is there a reason to send MB $ to Mexican bank instead of an offshore bank (where you would def have no problem getting accounts in whatever currency you want)?

if you do that try a european bank acct since stars withdraws in euros...prob least expensive root..then u could use oanada or such to get it to states...just make sure u claim fbar and whatnot if your USA and >10k accounts

Hey, just curious why you can't use the same account you used in Rosarito to withdraw from Stars? You've already established 'residency' in Mexico w/ Stars, so they shouldn't care where in Mexico you are. And I imagine your ATM card would still work.

Well Rosarito and playa Del carmen are like 2 different states or something. So my Santander account is no good here at all. I even tried writing a check and cashing it at Santander here and they dont recognize it. In Rosarito when you get a USD Santander account you only get checks,no debit card. So when I'm here I have no access to my account there what so ever. I tried to wire money from my Rosarito account to here,but you have to be in person :/.

I'm American, so I cant link my MB to my US account because it has to do with gambling.

@Sinner, am I able to just open an offshore bank account in USD?If I'm not in person?

yes, not gonna list bank names here, and please nobody do, but im down to chat about it.. however all of them hate poker/gambling.

eh i told my rep who opened my BA what I do

Well can you guys PM me how to/who to open an offshore bank account with?

Could someone send to me as well?

Thanks,

Kyle
