Contact a thai embassy in your home country and apply for a 60 day tourist visa. When you arrive in Thailand, you can go to an immo office and extend it another 30 days.

also, anywhere else in thailand > phuket imo
the reason why phuket is so expensive (by thailand standard) is because its so westernized

Depends on what you're looking for. Samui is very nice. A bit more exotic, but much the same as Phuket. Bangkok is the place to go if you want to party. I definetly recommend spending at least a few nights there. There are a ton of other small cheaper islands around, but the nightlife usually sucks and the internet is ****.
Just come to Phuket since myself and around 10 other 2+2ers will be here in the fall

.
Edit: If I were coming to Thailand to play poker I would live in either Bangkok, Phuket, or Samui (and maybe Chang Mai). You can always island hope from any of these places if you're looking to get away from everything.
Edit 2: And BKK, Phuket and Samui are all relatively expensive compared to thai standards
