What island &/or country would you recommend for a quick poker vacation?
I live in Florida & can often get very cheap airfares on Spirit Airlines, so I'm looking to take 3/4 day weekend trips.
Went to Paradise Island in Bahamas last year & HATED it--no poker @ the Atlantis casino. Did a shark dive that was kinda cool though . . .
Went to Puerto Rico in October. Played 2/5NL at the Ritz & Intercontinental. Very easy games & loose players--netted $1,900 in 3 nights.
Is there poker in the Dominican Republic? Also considering Costa Rico, though I'd hate to go there for such a short amount of time.

You must be smoking some really good stuff, tokeweed!
As stated in my post, I'm looking to fly from Florida for a 3/4 day long weekend-style trip, so I'm thinking the Philippines is just a little too far away . . . I do, however, have many happy memories of the two months I spent in the Philippines, mostly in Palawan & Cebu. Beautiful country, lovely people, great scuba diving.
Aruba might be a good choice . . . thx I.M. Baked! (is it just my imagination, or do a lot of poker players smoke pot? Or would it be more accurate to say "a lot of pot smokers play poker?")

WHAT?!?! Since when does Phuket have poker? There aren't any casinos in Thailand, but the goverment should change some laws & allow developers to build a few--full on casinos action in Bangkok would be great!
