Tunica, Biloxi, Vegas, AC, Foxwoods Area, LA, Phx, KC, Florida, Shreveport...any others...lets hear it.

Depends on games and limits. I will say that the quality of life in MN is better than just about anywhere in the US (assuming of course that you can tolerate a bit of cold). The games at CP are about the best LIMIT games anywhere, but are capped at 30/60.

Need NL? Go somewhere else.
Need high limits? Go somewhere else.
Want a great quality of life and phenomenal LIMIT games to 30/60? Consider Minnesota. Better yet, stay the [censored] away, it's too damn cold here (and I have no need for a winning player to join in my very fishy game).

EDIT: If you are 30+ and have a family, don't even consider going anywhere else. If you are in your 20s and single, this may not be the best place to live.

I live 20 minutes outside of AC in an amazing neighborhood. It's very rural, neighbors are great. Shockingly, property taxes aren't as high in this neighborhood as others in NJ.

When I first moved to the area (I didn't move for poker), I lived two blocks from the beach in another good, safe neighborhood.

I personally love the area as their is always something to do. Wawas are the best and if you like sandwiches, subs are the best around here.

I'm originally a New Yorker, and while I miss it, this is definitely a great place to live.

Wawa. I just dont understand why they dont want to expand. They could put every mini mart in America out of business in less than a week.

I grew in south jersey, and would probsbsaly committ suicide if I lived there again. Im joking, its not so bad. I still hang with my friends alot when I go back , and they are all about AC andthe Borgata, etc. Its way different scene than it was Iwhen I lived there.

North San Diego county or South Orange County. Better weather than LA; better schools. Lower crime. Less traffic. BUT: LA action easily accessed, and Vegas is only 4-5 hours away.

ANY place else: not enough action and worse weather. ANY place else.

Yes, Jersey has Wawa, and real diners, but SoCal has In-and-Out Burger and...everything else.

I'd say Tunica, MS would be a really great place to work and live.

Most likely though, you'd be living and working in Memphis, TN, as it's about 40 miles from Tunica.
