If you move to Dallas, there are only 2 (legal) options for playing, here - Winstar, and Choctaw. Personally, I perfer playing at Winstar though I have played 2 tourney series at Choctaw and there is nothing wrong with that place. But since this is the Winstar thread, and I have played there WAY more, we should stick to Winstar for this discussion.
Cash games at Winstar are good in my opinion. Depending on when you want to play, you can always find 1-2 and 2-5NL on Fri Night - Sun night, and often a 2-5 PLO. There are natuarally 1-2 and 2-5 NL during the week, just not nearly as many tables for it. I havent played during the week enough to notice if there are ever PLO games.
On the weekends at least, there is also usually 5-10 NL, and 4/8 Limit, and some other Omaha variant. I forget what though since I dont really play Omaha. Surely there is someone else who plays Omaha there that can post info on that (or Dealer-Guy might comment for us).
However, Winstar doesn't spread Stud or Razz (or anything else not already noted above) at any stakes. I suspect the same is true for Choctaw as well.
Now, once you are down here, if you get in with the right folks, you can look at getting in on some of the "unoffical" games around the Dallas area. The action can be pretty good in those and your drive is MUCH shorter. I have played in a few in the past, but have fallen out of contact with folks for long enough that I don't get invited to those games anymore. And, you pretty much have to know someone to get invited.
Good luck when you get down here.
