STRIKE!

What are the best States aside from Nevada for poker? Second, aside from playing what are the best resources? Books, Videos, Twitch Channels, etc.

I mainly play 3-5 and 5-10 no limit hold 'em. Been to the WSOP twice. My perspective:

*Oregon is terrible. Tiny card rooms, high rakes, nitty environment.

*Washington is not great. Most of the Casino's are about ~1hour from Seattle. High rakes. The 2-5, 3-5 tables are profitable but usually not great. 5-10 is terrible. Usually only 1 table a week if that. And it's generally really, really good players that only show up if one of the two massive fish shows up. Kind of surprised how bad the scene is considering how many rich workers are flowing into Seattle. Also Washington has a rule where the max individual action is 500.

*Los Angeles in California was decent. Big rooms, higher % of the population was slightly worse. L.A. has crazy cost of living though.

*Atlantic City in New Jersey was amazing. Most of the poker rooms at most of the casinos were poo poo. But holy drat Revel and one other were down right amazing. People swearing at each other, going on tilt, acting out of turn. I have not seen that many tables with such consistently lovely players in a loooong time. Unfortunately Atlantic City is about 2.5 hours south of Central and North Jersey, which is where you'd like to live if you want to move to NJ. Also the Mayor of one of the major northern cities recently established an outreach survey to determine community sentiments on allowing Casinos to be built there.

*Florida. Never been, but a handful of years ago basically every poker player I ever met was talking about it like it was a gold rush.

I tip the dealer as they sit down at the table and again as they leave. That's it. Unless I win some monstrous 100+BB pot or something. It's not personal but it cuts into my win rate.


Also last time I was at the world series was 2010, and even though it was a recession the cash games were juicy as hell. A winning pro player mentioned to me that he thought it was juicier in 2010 than it was in 2016, which I found puzzling.

Has the juiciness noticeably decreased since 2010?

I play live 3-5 and people often don't have more than than 175 bb in their stack.
