Due to the Corona I have been playing poker in Korea for a few months and with a 1,000 dollars my poker bankroll is now around 15k usd. I expect this bankroll to increase to maybe 20k by December where I want to leave Korea. I was wondering if anyone could tell me which parts of the world and the U.S. is a good place to start playing 1/2,2/,3 and/or 2/5. I know playing 2/5 with a 20k bankroll (which will have to pay for expenses) is pretty swingy but I have a "liferoll" separate from poker so I'm ok if I lose the 20k. A friend told me games in Australia are much better than the U.S. but I would like to hear your opinions. Thanks!

Main poker centres in Australia are Sydney and Melbourne. They are shut because of the 'rona and no-one knows when they will open or what the poker landscape will look like when it does. Melbourne is under one of the longest, toughest lockdowns in the world and Sydney Star casino is open but the poker room is closed for at least the rest of the year.
Maybe check out the Live Low Stakes forum for the US, as far as I know mostly closed and what games there are, are nitty.
My guess is that most of Europe is either closed for cash game poker or likely to close at the drop of a hat.
