I play $5-10nl, but could make a decent living at 3/5 as well. I've never been, but hear it's pretty amazing. How many games do they usually have running during the week/weekend and at how many different casinos? Is the cost of living pretty high in Lake Tahoe?

Overall better economy in Vegas.

Do that again and we will lock "your" thread. Bumping is sooooo uncool. Change your user preferences to show 99 threads per page and you wont have to be worried about your threads leaving the main page.

PS: If you are playing mid to high limits the answer is LA.

What about the best place to live and deal? Same thing?

My bad. After all this time I had no idea. I thought it was on the second or 3rd page and wouldn't be visible to anyone, anymore. Thanks for the advice. I'll change things immediately.

BTW, I'm glad nobody has mentioned anything positive about Florida because there is no way you can play professionally here at the moment.

I think if you are playing low to mid limits the answer is still LA. Just got back from another fun-filled wild night at the Commerce $40 NL tables, and Hollywood Park can match Commerce on many nights.

As for the lifestyle, OK, there's traffic, but really, this can be dealt with, and for poker purposes you won't be driving to the casino in too many rush hours anyway. And here's the upside:

- even you can't attract the top 2% of women, the dating pool in LA can match up with any city in the world. I'm no Brad Pitt but I've dated women and am about to marry a woman that I could only dream about meeting in my hometown of Sacramento, or San Francisco for that matter. Try trolling the personals at match.com or salon.com for LA women and see what I mean.

- whatever turns you on, you can find it in LA. If you're an artsy guy, live in Silver Lake or Highland Park. If you want to live the eternal frat lifestyle, live in Manhattan Beach. If you're a blue-collar guy, live in Long Beach or the Valley.

- more things to do than you possibly have time for.

- no established class system. you make something of yourself, you don't have to please or get the approval of any "old money" class like in Boston or SF.

Everyone says Vegas is a bad place to live

Huh??? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

I mean, I guess if you hate hot weather it is, but wasn't Vegas voted like one of the 10 best places in the country to raise a family a few years ago? When you get away from the Strip, it's actually a pretty conservative middle-class city.

IMO CA (LA or Bay Area) > Vegas > AC > CT farmland > Mississippi.

Um, no. Vegas is a horrible place to raise a family. I grew up in the midwest and after living here a while and seeing how kids are raised here, there is ZERO chance of me raising a family here. Anyone who has their kid's interests before their own would do the same, IMO.
