Re: Which poker city is the best?
[ QUOTE ]
live in San Francisco. play there during the week. get a Southwest Visa. fly to Burbank and Vegas out of Oakland on Southwest every other weekend. Oakland and Burbank are really easy airports to deal with. (McCarron sucks.) that way you don't have to live in Vegas or L.A. [/ QUOTE ] cause flying to Vegas and LA and staying at hotels is cheap compared to the real estate in San Fran [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: Which poker city is the best?
I say if youre an east coast guy, living in Jersey a half hour west down the AC expressway is a decent place and not at all as scary as living in AC itself.

Re: Which poker city is the best?
Live in Philly... great town, low cost of living ($1000 a month for a baller 1 bedroom but you can find very decent accommodations for less), close to NYC. Atlantic City is a 45 min drive away or an hour or so by bus or train. For full disclosure, I don't know [censored] about any other area.

Re: Which poker city is the best?
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.

[/ QUOTE ] Don't get cause and effect reversed. I can personally speak to the East Chicago/Gary, Indiana area being a hell hole well before there was gambling there. It's probably the case that gambling is approved in areas like that because they are desperate for some revenue influx.

Also, I've heard/seen it's a cesspool of hot Asian chicks..

If you dig up ancient history, Vegas was a poor dump before the mob made it a rich one. It would seem that putting gambling in a depressed area keeps it that way.

I just heard some woman from SF on the radio the other day (Howard Stern show, I think) say that it is a great place for straight men because the women have a such a hard time finding guys that aren't gay.
