Default what cities are good for B&M Casinos

Hello all. I've been honing my skills over the past year in live home games around town, and have been doing pretty well. The problem is I live in such a small town im not able to make a legitimate income. I am now looking to move somewhere with B&M Casinos so I can make a regular income doing so. So, my question to you is, what cities have good casinos where I could make a regular income playing in the games? Now of course we all know Las Vegas and the big names but was wandering if there are any other good spots. Would love to hear what you guys have to say.

Aw, aren't you cute.

LA is probably where you'd want to end up due to the number of people/tables.

Anyway, good luck. You might want to talk to some people who have tried playing for a living before you make a big committment though. Small town home games probably isn't much of an indicator of anything.

Two guys I know who are pros make their dollars at Sandia Casino in Albuquerque, NM. One often travels from Amarillo just to play there (hey SirFelix, if you're reading.) We also have Isleta, Route 66, and Santa Ana nearby, all with poker rooms.

I would probably take a look at Tunica MS. someone else with more experience can jump in and set me straight if I am wrong but the cost of living is low, you could eat really good for free.

I don't know if you could rotate through the three hotels with poker room rates for an extended period of time but I would think rent would be reasonable.

I wouldn't sleep in my car at Tunica, at least in summer. The mosquitos are big enough to carry a can opener.
