    Poker in Vilamoura Portugal

    Going on Honeymoon for a week to Vilamoura in Portugal and just wondering if anyone has any tips on where to find local cash games ... Always like to play a lil when away on hols and thankfully have a very understanding missus who will have no issue with letting me play a few hours one or two nights while we are there!
    Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes; after that, who cares?! He's a mile away and you've got his shoes!

    There is a casino there but last time I was there (6/7 years ago) there was no poker only table games. May well have changed by now though. Neat dress essential (no shorts, sandals) and you'll need your passport.

      Unless your new bride plays poker aswell I think i'd skip it, understanding or not.

      Tis a long road.

        Its a honeymoon and from what she tells me its when the groveling starts, you'll never be let off the hook for playing poker and leaving her alone for a night on HER honeymoon

        loads of time to lie about having to work late or away on buisness etc etc for poker when your home

          There's a really cool casino there but alas you will probably struggle to find any poker unless your honeymoon coincides with a local festival.

            see these links





            think there might be a €60 game on a Tuesday night.

            What was said above is correct the last time I was there, dress code is very very strict & you cannot get into the main part of the casino in Shorts, Runners, Open sandals etc.

              I've been in Villamoura probably 15 times. There is rarely any poker in that casino, mainly table games. The one time I seen a game there its was €5/€10, when there was an EPT (or something) running there, there was one table, and 20 people on the waiting list. Waste of time.

              There is a few bar games mid-week though if your industrial enough to go looking for it. Having said that the algarve has a great amount of other things to see and do, just make sure you get your ass out of villamoura, its a ripoff. Car hire is pretty reasonable, just do lots of day trips, the full area is great and 2 hours will get you pretty much to any town.

                    Me and the wife went on a cruise for our honeymoon. She was really tired one night so went to bed and said she was fine with me playing the tournament that was on in the onboard casino.

                    So I get there, $100 buy in, nine people sitting at the table.

                    They give us all 1000 chips. Starting at 25/50, 15 min blinds.

                    Four of us got up and demanded our money back! Started a cash game.

                    20 bbs ffs lol
