Bucharest is Romania’s vibrant capital. It is a city of contrasts where grand Belle Époque architecture meets communist-era structures and a thriving contemporary art and nightlife scene. Often dubbed 'Little Paris' for its elegant 19th-century boulevards, Bucharest has a distinct character shaped by its tumultuous history and resilient spirit. Bucharest is beautiful, rich but also rough and intriguing. It is one of the places where the East and West clash hard, where old gypsys live in run-down real estate located on top of luxury bag boutiques and where artist squats coexist next door to hype cafes serving overpriced fancy avocado toast.

After an intense season 2024 featuring a great final stop in Estoril shot by Alex in November, the second VPT stop of 2025 has been announced in Bucharest, Romania's capital. The first leg will be played in Milan, Italy.
The VAMOS POKER TOUR is back for an exciting 2024 season filled with old and new poker destinations featuring a 20-thousand-Euro guaranteed ranking package for Vegas.
Welcome to this new episode of POKER RADAR CHECK for November and December 2023.
The poker year has been hectic and it looks like it will conclude in spectacular fashion. This is a selection of poker trips with deals for traveling poker players. In this video, we are going to browse through some of our late 2023 poker highlights. Pack your bag, we're off to great places.
Hello and welcome to our November 2023 POKER RADAR CHECK. This is an English version of information we promote in German on POKERFIRMA.COM. We also recently started testing releases of our POKER RADAR CHECK recaps as videos on YouTube. The editorial contribution should remain monthly interventions. Regarding videos, we might increase the frequency depending on demand. Feedback is welcome if someone wants to help us do things better.
We hope you have seamlessly transitioned into the fall season and that you are all enjoying the occasionally temperamental weather out there. The weather is cooling down where the poker action however continues to heat up as we head into the winter weeks.
Multiple international Day 1s across Europe and a big Poker festival in Bratislava from 5th to 12th June 2023.
I am in a super lucky spot. I am relatively healthy, I mostly love what I am doing with my life and I have more than enough money to support it.
If money played no role at all, chances are I would be flying around the globe on late afternoon flights above mountains during sunsets :-)
I am a big fan of BLACK. Not only for black and white photography but I have also always liked to darken my colour photos a lot. Probably the expression of the dark side of my soul :-)
I have been looking into a bunch of colouring techniques over the last months. This posts features examples of recent photos published from Romania to illustrate what I am talking about. I am aware that I will not win any award with them since this approach goes against the grain for most photographers but I feel like it makes Poker photography a bit less hopelessly boring. Thoughts? Feedback? Live Poker rooms come in more or less organised ways and fashions. Some are very well run. Some are a complete mess. Mostly because of the human factor. One might like or dislike online Poker for the lack of social interactions but one of the biggest advantages of digital Poker games, is the smooth way promoters are able to run events with important numbers of players.
The massive 'Palace of the Parliament' in Bucharest, also known as the 'Republic's House' or 'People's House', is home to the Romanian Parliament of Romania. The mega building was ordered by Nicolae Ceausescu, designed and supervised by chief architect Anca Petrescu together with a team of roughly 700 architects who were kept busy over a period of 13 years (1984–1997) to complete it in Socialist Realist and Modernist Neoclassical architectural styles.
I flew from Luxembourg to Madrid on Sunday to meet up with my Spanish buddies followed by a flight straight to Bucharest for the Vamos Poker Tour on Monday. I'll spend the whole week here. Photos and useful links to follow us are available in this post.
The first two months of my new year are more or less taken care of when it comes to #allineverywhere. I'll start the year in Slovakia before a hop to Portugal for the end of January and I'll be visiting Romania and the U.K. in February.
February 2023 looks pretty packed with potentially non-stop Poker and travel action between the 6th to the 26th. Romania, UK & Ireland are solid options in my agenda with:
- the Vamos Poker Tour in Bucharest - the Festival in Nottingham - the Dublin POKER FESTIVAL The Poker Trips section is up to date. December is still a bit of a blur but I know more or less what I'll be up to during November. Beat the Rake promos and full schedules are online in the POKER TRIPS section.
Coming up: Slovakia - Spain - Austria - Romania ... and the usual last minute randomness :-) This is information I got from a partner in case someone is off to Romania soon. It's highly unlikely that I'll attend myself but I can help fellow players out with closing a deal if needed.
All details can be found below and you can stay tuned via the POKER TRIPS section for more #allineverywhere. Another major Poker event is coming up under my ROMANIA tag in February 2023. The Vamos Poker Tour will be off to Bucharest for its second leg. The Vamos Poker Tour is one of the latest additions to the jungle of European Poker circuits after a starting event in Bratislava during September 2022. Now, 2023 is coming up fast and the promoters have been busy since this autumn. The result is the next VPT leg announced in Bucharest, Romania in February.

> THE-ROUNDERdotnet on Facebook. --- In early December the Cash Game Tour will stop in Romania’s beautiful capital city. The choice of the location for this event was the Platinum Casino, the biggest casino resort in the country: a 5-star facility with great food, excellent entertainment, amazing gambling, shopping, sports, relaxation and full travel services. |
