aucu 3 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 The only live poker I've been able to find are electronic tables at a casino chain called "Play City" but I don't think they are in Mexico City. The Hipodromo is supposed to have some of these tables but I haven't checked them out. Link to post Share on other sites

Gallo 1 Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 What a bunch of Nervous Nellies.You're from Durango, I figure that would be one of the worst places to be in. Link to post Share on other sites
silicon 0 Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 What a bunch of Nervous Nellies.Yeah really! Some people need to look up from their computer screen and realize the world is more than furtive trips to 7-11 and triple dead bolts on the door.This is my first visit to Mexico City and granted I'm staying in the Santa Fe district which I understand is one of the nicer ones but I have to say I've been very impressed with the city, the people and the security. There are security and police visible all over the place, shiny new office buildings with pretty spectacular architecture, expensive cars and great restaurants. It's also pretty reasonable compared to other large cities though hotel prices are pretty crazy (mine is $400/night and I would compare it to a Hyatt or Sheraton while the price is more in line with the Four Seasons).Take away the narrow zone along the US border that's dominated by narco traffickers and sweatshops and you have a huge country with a lot of history and pride as well as some pretty damn fine Tequila.Still no poker though I did score a suite at the Azteca stadium to see the soccer semifinals on Thursday.

At any given time you can be pulled over on some road or whatever. It's kinda like Colombia back in the days of Escobar. Link to post Share on other sites
PrtyPSux 0 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 The real poker clubs are illegal there. Underground are common and they play pretty big, huge from sometimes. I'm not a fan though, the police occasionally raid those places and take everything.I think Casino Life has some poker there with the electronic tables. They hosted a tourney there with pokerstars not too long ago. Anyway. Glad you're enjoying Mexico though. It's a really cool city, people usually won't think of going just because of the news and shit. It's somewhat dangerous in the same way a city like LA or NY is dangerous + kidnapping risk if you're rich and like to show it.That's cool you were able to go to Azteca, it's an experience that can't really be comparable to any sporting event you'll see in the states (even in europe). I took a bunch of poker players there last year to watch Mexico play and they all loved it.IDK if you're still there, but if you get a chance, visit La Condesa area. Imo it's the coolest neighborhood in the city, you can walk around everywhere and visit a lot of bars and amazing restaurants. Make sure to eat some tacos (El Califa- Rib eye with Cheese and some Pastor tacos, you can thank me later). The Polanco area is great too. Link to post Share on other sites
