Which poker city is the best?

[Tyler13jack]

After 5 years of playing semi-professionally live and online, I've decided to move to a city near enough to a cardroom that I can play full time. My question to all of you is if you could pick up and move to a city with a cardroom within 30 minutes to an hour at the furthest away where do you choose? Vegas? Mississippi? Florida? Atlantic City?
Keep in mind i'm a 25 year old guy so a city with nightlife and not just a hole like ...Lake Charles Louisiana or Biloxi

Vegas? maybe
Miss? no
FLorida? hell no for the games
AC? hell no for the area (maybe 30-60 minutes away)

Go with a suburb of LA for the best game selection and most games available.

vegas period.

Vegas is much more of a town than Atlantic City. You go right outside the casinos in AC and it is basically a slum. Vegas is much more of a town than AC is, but AC has nice areas that are not in the immediate vicinity. Between the two Vegas is much more of a town with more of a nightlife than AC, plus there are more places to play. Strictly between Vegas and AC, I would say Las Vegas. If you have never been to AC or Vegas I would suggest planning trips to both to see what you like first.

where do u live now?

friend of mine moved to LV (from NYC...but not to play poker) 6 months ago and she is dying to get out of there. its a cultural wasteland and people are just 'wierd' there....too many degenerates, lowlifes, dirtbags, someone always has an alterior motive there. it might be ok to go there for a weekend, but after a while that city just kills you.

AC has no nightlife really (if u compare it to NYC, LA, or LV) and the city itself is just shambles...living just 30 minutes outside of AC would be awesome if u werent 25...though some places are good in the summer (jersey shore), in the winter theyre ghost towns. you can always try philadelphia (about 45min to 1hr away).

First of all it's ulterior, second the guys a poker player, he deals with folks that have ulterior motives all the time, so that shouldn't be a problem.

OK, she doesn't like degenerates, dirtbags, lowlifes and angle-shooters, but wants to go back to NYC? Am I being leveled?

Hey, I wasn't sure, is Vegas a town??

[Diana Ross Fan]

A lot of people would find Vegas to be a slum. I was appaled when I drove around the north part of town. But SoCal has its rough spots too.

Perhaps anywhere there is a lot of gambling depresses the surroundings.
-Vegas
-AC
-SoCal
-Detroit

But there are some places where it doesn't

-East Chicago
-Southeast Connecticut.
