Last month we took a look at some of the greatest places to begin your poker playing career. We touched on two pretty obvious ones in Las Vegas, Nevada and Atlantic City, New Jersey. Here we’re going to touch on three more great locations. Again, what goes into these selections is the amount of venues to play at, how large the venue is, and the type of games that can be played at these venues.
Baltimore, Maryland
In 2012, Maryland was allowed to have table games in Casinos which ultimately led to poker taking off in popularity. With so much popularity, Baltimore makes for a great location to kick start your poker playing career. Maryland Live! is the states largest casino and is just a short drive away from Baltimore. Maryland Live! has 52 playing tables which makes for it as one of the largest in the Atlantic area and a top 15 venue nation wide. At any point in the week, you can you can play in a tournament that costs anywhere from $80 to $230.
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
While it doesn’t have as many poker tables as some other locations on this list, Fort Lauderdale makes it based on the quality of games and not necessarily the quantity. With Florida late to the game in adding poker (1989), its booming growth paired with its high population makes for it a great place to find games. With many betting restrictions holding back players along the way, in 2010, Florida finally scrapped the idea of capping bets and letting players bet freely. To make playing matters better, Florida has no state income tax and a low sales tax.
Los Angeles, California
The Los Angeles area has more poker game options than any other location in the United States. Los Angels has over 60 daily tournaments played per week so you’re never at a loss for a game. Because they’re are so many venues and games to play, you can find all levels and buy in sizes to play in. California and it’s 38 million residents is the #1 most sought online poker market.
