Same thing in Alaska. High alcoholism rates too.

(the women are slightly less attractive than the moose, however there are about 10 for every male.)

Cripes, wtf. Reverse that. Sorry. That's why ugly women end up there.

What limits do you play to support yourself there?

PS - have you been to any casinos and played poker with swedes, do they bluff alot?

[/ QUOTE ]

Theres only like three official casinos (stockholm, gothenburg, sundsvall), government owned. High rake, slow dealers. Live pro's are really really rare.

5% up to ~15 US$

But you don't pay taxes on winnings. Apparently the games are very beatable if you're good.

Id guesstimate it would be about 2-3x more expensive than living in the states.

The US is cheaper, but the difference is not that big. My general expenses, rent, food and all the other necessitities run at about 1500-2000 US$ a month, for me and my gf.

Very expensive and taxes are about 50% of your salary. Id guesstimate it would be about 2-3x more expensive than living in the states.

A beer in a bar cost about $7 USD.

No poker so far on this trip... Havn't stumbled upon any casinos and I don't really feel like tracking them down.

The one thing I have noticed are a ton of -ev games everywhere in Europe. (Keno is all over Hamburg Germany, as well as sex shops)

Must be a bunch of degens here.
