Re: Best Place to Live and Play
If poker is to be your life, LA is expensive, but it is Mecca in terms of variety of games and player pool 24/7 every day of the year. But...
traffic blows
casinos are in crime ridden areas (just be careful)
cost of living is painful
public schools suck if you have kids - had to send mine to private school
and
weather is terrific
if you have the $ you can do anything
surf, ski, fish, all within a day's drive of LA
I'm born and raised in LA. Know my way around town and make a good living at something other than poker. Like the guy from MN said - what are you looking for from life OUTSIDE of poker? Hope the issues are bigger than the quality of sandwiches as suggested by another poster. LA has everything if you can afford it and can handle the frustrations of getting to it. If you aren't in the 50K and preferably 100K and up income clubs, stay away.
