I've been in contact w both Mario and Miguel. I can't remember which...cali medical has got me jammed up , but one of them said they only work properties at Bobby's by the Sea. Does anyone have a specific recommendation for someone to contact for places at Club Marena?
I'm here in Encinitas w my buddy chillin it up and will be looking for a spot on my down time. I'm also a little confused as to best way to find a Roomate or someone who needs a Roomate.

Just booked a unit at La jolla de Rosarito for 3 months. Looking to meet a fellow grinder to get a place at club Marena once the high season burns off. If anyone needs a place between now and then lemme know. I've got the guest bedroom open.

Also, I've been grinding the 5/5 at oceans 11 while in San Diego. Let me know if you'll be up there this weekend so I can meet some locals.

Obv it depends on your lifestyle. If you get a roommate or two your rent will be less than $500 unless you want a baller place. You could live on 1 K a month if you weren't going out much and really pinching pennies. You can live very good here for 2 K a month, eating out a ton and drinking, etc.

Yo Yo Yo,

I've driven 4 days cross country, surfed every day for a week getting my tan up in San Diego, booked a place in Rosarito for move in Monday.... and still cant get an invite for the Rosarito Skype chat.

If it's still live, can someone please bring me into the circle of trust.

Anyone been spun around trying to get from Rosarito back across the border and inadvertently ended up in the Sentri pass lane. Those screwdriver wielding terds kept threatening to take my car and fine me 5k? Fun 3 hours... I must have been distracted by all that was the spectacle of my first time in Mexico.

Also crossed food poisoning off my list. Thanks Vince's.

On an up note, the surf was BLASTING down there. CAN NOT WAIT to get it in on the regular.

They're supposed to warn you once, and if you do it a 2nd time, they probably will fine you $5k or take your car. Literally. FYI.

WANTED: Room to rent for part time use.

I'm looking for a room to rent. I will be coming down from So Cal every other weekend with my wife. She is fluent in Spanish. I can play locally live but want to play online to win some seats in bigger live tournaments.

I'm not interested in a party house. We are both in our late 30's and don't mind a few beers but I'm looking to come and grind during the day and have a nice meal out at night. Not party.

If you got a room or know of someone with one who wants an extra $150 a month in their pocket get in touch with me.

Should have been a bit more specific. Would prefer a place in Rosarito so my wife isn't stuck in TJ while I'm playing.

Room would be $400/mo +sec. deposit, utilities would be split. I am talking with another member and he is potentially locking it up, I will let you know if it is available as soon as he lets me know.

Hey guys, Anyone have any experience with "Quick Speed" internet in baja?
I"m considering renting an apartment just south of Rosarito but the only internet available would be "Quick Speed".
Apparently its satellite internet that is transmitted through antennas.
Sounds like it could be problematic, does anyone know if this will work or is it a deal breaker?

Stars and FTP your rakeback depends on what your VIP status is, which is determined by how much you rake. So the only way to "get it running" is to grind. A lot of the time theyll reinstate you to the tier you were before BF so just mention that in your communication with site email, and if that doesnt work send a PM to one of the sites reps on 2p2.

Euro sites have standard rakeback sometimes. Depends on the network, skin and whom you sign up with.

If what you are talking about is the same thing that I've heard about, then it purportedly works pretty awesome and costs about 3k.

Looking for opinions on best grind hours. I'm mostly going to be multitabling middle stakes full ring until deposit bonuses are cleared. After a few months of settling back into online, I'll start playing sngs and mtts again.

Stopped by the immigration office after crossing border from san diego back into mexico. He didn't really ask many questions and helped me fill out the short form for a tourist visa. Cost was $25 or 306 pesos. I asked about the F3 and F2 docs and he said they don't do those anymore. He seemed pretty certain that the 6 month tourist visa would be fine to get me a mexican bank account. I'll find out tomorrow! Anyone got an opinion on opening an account anywhere other than Banamex?

I don't know anyone that didn't use either Santander or Bancomer, or like in my case, both.

Tourist visa should be fine to open a bank acct, I talked my way into opening my Santander acct w/out one at all, but this was nearly 3 yrs ago and I know the banks procedures have changed a bit in that time

So, I went to Banamex and Banknorte, they both need an FM3. The guy at Banamex told me that Bancomer can open an account w a phone, electric, or water bill (no cell phone or cable bills allowed). So now I've got my realtor, Mario Navaro (recommended on this thread and a nice guy but doesnt know **** about poker players needs) trying to get the home owner to switch a utility bill into my name. I guess in the mean time, I could try Santander or go to the immigration office and see whats up w getting an FM 2 or 3.

FML, wasting so much time from following ignorant advice.
