Best place to live in the US that has a cardroom?

Where would you consider the best place in the US to live that has a poker room? Not in terms of the games as much as the crime rate, cost of living, quality of life, ect. Thanks.

montana, washington, northern cal.

Quality of life, Montana, particularly if you fish and hunt. My second choice would be northern cal, north of Garberville. I haven't been there since the 80's so that might have changed. Had some fun on the coast of Oregon also.


Games in the small towns of Montana tend to be low limit.

Scottsdale. Also, parts of LA.

Speaking as someone who doesn't smoke, I can't allow Washington to be on the list. While Washington is a great place to live and I love it here, living in Washington with the intent to play poker in a card room on a frequent basis is not kind to your lungs or long term health.

I heard its nice there with all the mountains, and I heard the action is good, but have never been. Just wondering what anybody thought of it?

well there is two casinos in oregon thats non smoking. plus you can live in northern wash. and go to vancover and thats non smoking. but i have to agree with you. if i was to be a full time player at any level and didnt like to smoke i would certainly live in california.

ive lived there and loved it. it is one of the best places to live but they over cater to smokers and that will end up killing you and them.

Ray,


That is pretty much an absolute statement. I believe being a Pro poker player sitting down for 40 hours a week (or more) with little excercise is more harmful to your health than smoking. At least I must walk around most places to smoke and get some excercise.

im not sure its worse than smoking. ive had so many of my long time friends die recently as they are (were) in their 50's and 60's from cancer from smoking that i cant believe anyone would still do that.

plus who says thats all you so in life is play poker. there is so much more.
