The quest for the best poker action in North America has sparked conversations among players. With comments pouring in from various regions, players are weighing in on whether cities like Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Austin, or Tampa offer the most lucrative environments for serious cash games.
Las Vegas Dominance: Many players report that Vegas sees the most players during cash game series, although there can be a noticeable drop in competition during the summer.
Other Notable Locations: Hard Rock Tampa and even surprising spots like Poughkeepsie and the Philippines were mentioned as having great action.
Game Dynamics: A player noted, "3/5 is great, I make $70/hr at it," suggesting that for some, lower stakes can be more profitable due to the presence of "unsuspecting fish."
"The best games are hidden like in the south. Think random places that have oil money," a source pointed out, hinting at alternative markets where cash game opportunities thrive.
That said, not everyone shares this optimism. Some players feel that the higher stakes, like 5/10 games, are not worth the effort.
Feedback from the forums reveals a mixed sentiment:
Optimism for Local Games: Many players enthusiastically support venues like Hard Rock Tampa for their solid cash game scenes.
Disappointment in Vegas: Despite its reputation, Vegas appears to disappoint during off-peak months.
As the gambling market shifts, players need to know where to find the best opportunities for profit. This ongoing dialogue reflects the volatility and competitiveness of cash games across different cities.
It's clear that players are looking for venue options beyond traditional locations. At this point, the gambling community will be watching how these cities evolve in terms of cash game density and player satisfaction. As competition heats up, will other cities challenge Vegas for supremacy?
