Going to the US. Where to grind NL 2/5 besides Vegas? Going to the US. Where to grind NL 2/5 besides Vegas?

Hi there!

I plan on going to the US and grind some NL 2/5 and NL 5/10 this year. I plan on staying for about one month every trip and I also plan on making 3-4 trips in a year.

I have already been in Vegas and I would like to go somewhere else this time- maybe Florida or California? But I am thinking that renting a place to sleep in maybe will be too expensive?

So...it there a place you would suggest for me? 1) cheap rooms (airnb or similar) 2) close to the poker room so that I can grind everyday without paying too much for transport 3) poker room should have good games every night

Any recommendations?

Thank you!

There are plenty of areas to go and play 2/5 that have plenty of action and table selection. You didnt give any other criteria. If all you care about is poker, I would go to Gainesville, Texas. There's nothing to do there but its a small town that is about 45 minutes north of the Dallas area and only a couple miles from WinStar casino in Oklahoma. In my opinion, WinStar has the some of the softest games in the country. They have a huge brand new room. I believe its like the 3rd biggest room in the country.

Its a very low cost of living area so Im sure you can find some place reasonable to stay.

If all you care about is going to the US and playing poker, there are legal casinos and cardrooms in many states all over the US. Start with pokeratlas.com. Choose an area you want to travel to and read the reviews on casinos in the area. Then go to google maps and find a motel/hotel nearby. Again, read the reviews as quality can vary quite a bit in cheaper places.

All the information you're looking for is out there - you just have to spend the time and do the research.

Some places I would recommend: Oklahoma (pretty much anywhere in the state has casinos), Chicago/northern Indiana, New Orleans, Maryland, Atlantic City (only for the Borgata), anywhere in California or Florida, and Connecticut/Massachusetts (Foxwoods/Mohegan Sun).

I wouldnt even put Vegas in the top 10 for this. Worst games in the country by far. The only places that are worse are the places without games.

Those places don't exist. Or did you mean legal games?
