If you don't like the city of New Orleans then you probably shouldn't bother. Since you've already been there you should have some idea of whether it is a good fit for you or not.
New Orleans happens to be my numero uno favorite city. If you want non-poker/gambling entertainment options then New Orleans is far and away the best choice.

If you just want the best poker then Tunica is the best choice but there is NOTHING else there at all. A nice steakhouse at the Horseshoe casino and another nice one at Gold Strike. Good comps and a good buffet there...blah blah blah.
But otherwise if you want ANYTHING else to do other than poker and steak then you will have to go to Memphis.


Also - it's not like either one is especially close to the panhandle of Florida.
From Destin or Pensacola or so it will be roughly 8+ hours to get to Tunica. It's a pretty good hike.

Also note that you might not find much 5/10 NL action. But in Tunica that's kind of a different animal because the 2/5 NL has no cap on the buy-in. So you are playing 2/5 but there might be several players playing live-straddles before the deal to already double things for you. And some players will buy-in for several thousand.
I believe it plays significantly deeper than the kind of 2/5 NL many are used to from elsewhere in the country.


Another option would be Biloxi, MS. The new poker-room at the Beau Rivage is especially nice. There isn't exactly a ton to do in Biloxi other than gambling but at least it's not as long a hike from the panhandle.

Thanks MB [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I meant to put Biloxi as one of the choices, but just forgot. I might just donk around at Ebro next Friday or Saturday and spend the winnings at Golden Nugget or whatever that dive stripper joint is lol
