I may be on the market for a new place to live in a few months and I'd love it to be somewhere I can easily find a game. Anyone want to comment on a city they've been to with lots of tables available every night? I'm mainly looking at NL ring games in the $1-2 to $5-10 range, the more casual players the better. I've heard Vegas can be good on the weekends but I'm not sure I want to live there.

Well that range you described pretty much isolalates it down to every city with a casinio in it.
But depends how your fixed for cash on relocating.
I know in minnesota they run a pretty good lo limit games,its all limit,but for no limit you drive 25 minutes to wisconsin,lo limit games are everywhere.
They run a pretty good 1/2 no limit game here in tampa florida at the hard rock and at luckys.

New Orleans is great, some good games at Herrah's. Then there's Vegas (dirt cheap property now), the indian casinos in CT (Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods) are also pretty easy to beat.

Albuquerque, New Mexico is a great choice if you are also looking for inexpensive living with numerous low and high stakes games available at Sandia Casino and fantastic action.

Los Angeles is one of the best places in the country to play poker. All Limits, many casinos. The two problems:
  • with NL Cash, they have small max buy-ins compared to limits
  • Expensive to Live
San Francisco is another great place to play (well any Poker Casino in Cali is crazy good) but also quite expensive to live

San Diego is a good poker town and beautiful to boot. Slightly less expensive than SF and LA in certain areas.

Minneapolis is a fantastic poker spot (but only Limit and Spread Limit) and not to expensive to live...but your nuts freeze off

Tunica, MS is a fantastic poker town with great loose action and fantastic hospitality, not sure about living expenses (but I imagine inexpensive). Only drawback is there is nothing else to do but play poker and gamble.

I couldn't disagree more.

I lived in San Fran for about 8 months now, played in at least 5 different card houses, one of which I go to regularly, and the level of play in CA is WAY tougher than anywhere else I've experienced. Vegas is a joke compared to the card houses in cali - everyone here knows what they're doing, they're aggressive, and tough.
