Default Re: I may be moving to Austin Tx. Any good card rooms there?

No doubt Austin is a great town. I'm a native Texan and spent the last 4 years in Austin before relocating for work to Minneapolis, MN. I played in a few games and heard about many others so if you want some live action, there's plenty in Austin. No f'ing way it's 3.5 hours to OK. If you want to do a B&M trip, the best action is in Lake Charles, LA although that's 5.5-6.0 hours away. However, I heard they just opened a brand new place down there which means there are at least 3 poker rooms now - possibly 4.

I loved Austin, but the traffic is so horrible for that size of a town that it really takes away from the quality of living there. I had a 15 mile commute each way into a NW Austin suburb and on a good day that was a 45 minute drive - most were close to an hour and God help you if there's a wreck.

That said, I liked it so much, I'd move back in a heartbeat - although I'm finding that I'm really enjoying Minneapolis - especially the spring/summer/fall. I moved here in November, so I got here just in time for the winter - which totally sucked. But, it's nice to enjoy low 80's high's in late June when my folks in Austin are boiling at near 100 with 60+% humidity.

Have fun in Austin - you'll love it!
