Moving to Vegas

#1 10-25-2005, 02:30 AM

Ok we have a first timer here so be easy on me. So I've been playing poke online for a living for about 9 months. I've made over $100,000 and i've decided to make the jump to vegas. The main reasons are to play in live satellites for the wpt events ect... And also because of taxes... I'll play just as much online just want the live action... I've been to vegas 3 times (once for 2005 wsop event 2 and once for the 2005 main event).. So i know the city a little... Ok finally to the questions... If anyone could just give me feedback on what they think of the idea and if there is anyone that has made the jump already... Simple things like where to live.. Where to play... Weather.. Meeting people.. Anything really... Thanks

If you want to play live poker move to Los Angeles. If you want to win a WPT seat play online.

This makes much more sense to me. There is a much better selection of mid to high limit games in LA. I don't know if it is more expensive to live there though????

How does LA offer a better selection than the gambling capital of the world?

the only action above 20 other than a rare mirage 40 game and rare wynn 40 games is bellagio. Commerce alone has more selection.

I thought Mirage 40 was a pretty regular game, no? I'll be in Vegas for 10 days in December and figure I'll spend most of my time at Bellagio playing 30-60 or some 80-160 possibly as well. I like Mirage and Wynn also, but would prefer 40-80 at those places.
