Poker in New Orleans

[MicroBob]

His name isn't Bob....but Patrick is more qualified to answer.
I live in Memphis which is about 6 hours away.
Get down there 3 or 4 times a year I guess...but since I go with my GF I usually don't play any poker. There's too much other stuff to do in New Orleans.

But when I have played there I have been up against some of the drunkest tourist/donks ever to play.

If you swing up to the Memphis/Tunica area though you'll probably dig the poker action. Not quite as 'touristy' but the players are fishy enough at all limits (up to the insane 20/40 game at the Horseshoe) to keep a good 2+2 TAG happy (or even a mediocre one like me).


And I imagine you would be VERY confused by their willingness to just throw comps at you.
But northerners/midwesterners like myself do stick out as foreigners in 'theez here parts'.
