  Is Poker legal in NC? I'm just curious. You don't have to answer if it gets you in trouble. I'm pretty confident it's illegal in South Carolina.

  Poker is legal at the Harrah's Cherokee in NC. It's about a 45-60 minute drive from Asheville. I've been there, it's a beautiful casino out in the middle of nowhere and you have to take a windy ass shitty road from Asheville to get there.
  
  Juice, what's the tourist area before you get there? I have never seen anything like that before, well that large, so many little motels.

  My favorite strip club is 15 minutes from one of the many poker rooms in New England. The dancers couldn't give a shit about poker unless you win big and give them money. While the average poker play (I consider myself one although I play 10 - 15 times a month) may "read" other average players, strippers are like poker pros and having recently played against pros in a $1,000.00 buy in tournament, their ability to play you is astounding.

  Reading people in poker is entirely different than reading people in social situations like a strip club. In poker you're primarily analyzing betting patterns, how they play according to position, etc. The whole notion of "ah, he scratches his nose and leans forward when he's bluffing" is highly overrated--that's Movie Poker kind of stuff. Very little of Poker Reading carries over to other life situations. But hey, if your poker skills give you confidence in outside world scenarios then more power to you.
