I mainly only play online poker, but if I had the opportunity to take part in a big tournament offline, I would of course join the WSOP in the city of gamblers “Las Vegas”
Merry Christmas
 
Well.. I would search for some live event with Omaha and/or Omaha H/L. In last time are this kinds of games interesting for research. Thanks...magic bottle....
 
Asia Pacific Poker Tour (APPT). In 2025, the APPT was held in Cambodia. I don't know yet where it will be held in 2026, but it would be interesting, and it's one of the biggest events in the world of poker.
The action takes place in luxurious but rather exotic locations, so a three-day visit to such an event would be interesting, regardless of the results of the Main Event.
 
When I started reading the question, the WSOP immediately came to mind, but that's ruled out by the 3-day rule.

Then I realized that I'm not familiar with any other tournaments (besides Main Events like the EPT).

Anyway, if it were just a matter of wanting a specific travel destination/country where poker is played, I'd choose the Bahamas.

If it were a specific poker format, then it would be a high-roller tournament... that's obvious😏.
 
Irish Poker Tour Festival, 1-4 January 2026 in Dublin. I live in Europe and the tournament is nearby.
 
EPT Malta
I would choose Malta. I would really like to visit there. I had plans, but then the war started and I canceled everything.
 
that i would definitely check out the wpt series but no idea if they offer tournaments
 
I also asked ChatGPT to help me figure this out, my dream is to play in the Casino du Monte-Carlo but I couldn't find any tournament that fit the bill.

I did find the Triton Series in Jeju, and I've been looking for an excuse to go to South Korea so this seems perfect. They've got a 10k Mystery Bounty from March 7-9.

If I truly had the genie I might pick a high-stakes one but maybe at the lower stakes I actually have a chance to walk away ITM and then I'm already in Korea to celebrate my wins after! Now who do I talk to about redeeming the trip? 😉

Spin & Go Championship Live
Festival Dates: February 23-24, 2026
It's very soon, and it seems that it won't last more than two days. I think it's suitable 🙂
 
If I won a trip and an entry into a poker tournament, I would choose the Irish Poker Open. I would want to try playing in the highest buy in tournament at the series that meets the 3-day criteria. I love Ireland and would love to visit there!

I'd like to be at the LIPS💋 (Ladies International Poker Series) Women in Poker Spring Festival at South Point in Las Vegas. Since I'm limited to three days I'd like to play in the: Mini Main, US Ladies Team Poker Championship, Nevada State Ladies Championship, and if knocked out of the state championship the Pajama Jam.

Definitely someplace warm and by the sea. I'd blow off the tournament and enjoy the 3 days away from -20C temps, biting winds and heavy snow. I don't want to go to the US while you-know-who is still President, so Europe or the Caribbean are at the top of the list. But while you-know-who is still President the Caribbean is a non-starter too. Wouldn't want to get blown out of the water while on a go-fast boat tour.

I have a friend from Malta, so that's where it will be.

That is the spirit! 🙂

Years ago we'd take summer day trips on the bus to Atlantic City from Easton, Pennsylvania. If I remember correctly it cost either $20 or $25 dollars. Your fare got you: round trip transportation,, a roll of quarters which is worth $10, a ticket to the casino buffet. A lot of our co-riders were just seniors off to enjoy a low cost day enjoying the sun and sea air on the boardwalk.

This would be interesting and wild if i had the opportunity, Personalty I would what to got the the Triton Series this year in Jeju island is south Korea. Where else and how many chances would i have to go play in a elite High roller series with the truly best players in the world. While the odds of wining anything would be nil, the opportunity to play against this level of poker players wold be worth the trip.

I would choose a turbo tournament, and with bounty, the place could be in Las Vegas, since I don't know that place.
 
I think the obvious answer is to register for the most expensive tournaments with the biggest prize pools possible.
 
It would be to take advantage, and enjoy the opportunity, to accept the free trip, anywhere.
