Moving to the US..

[PokerSwede]

Hey,

Well, in a couple of months I'll be moving to the US (bye bye sweeeet Euro sites) and I have no idea whatsoever what's legal/illegal and what is not, how to handle payments etc if I'd want to continue playing over there.

So thought I put the question up here and see if you guys could give me some good advices.

Thanks!

[will641]

imo, you should wd everything from your euro accounts and put whatever amount you want onto the american site(s) of your choice. it will just be way easier to do it from europe than it will from the states.

where in the us are you moving?

[mrhappy333]

where in the US?

[PokerSwede]

Ok.

New York

[Pythonic]

Prepare to pay tons for gas and cigs, lol.

Hehe, you might not believe it but our gas prices are double the price you pay :P Sweden might be a good and friendly country but general prices on pretty much everything, taxes and medical care suuuuuuccks.

Don't you guys pay per liter over there for gas? Cigs in New Yorks are like $7 per pack. Ouch!

[BigPapi]

lol in Holland cigs are like 6,50 euro, so almost 10$?

gas (well, unleaded 95 I mean) is per liter yeah and over here it's 1,50 euro a liter. It is said it might go to 2 euro per liter within a couple of years.

a gallon is something like 3,5 liter right?

[sauce123]

u cant drink till ur 35 here and only then with mixers

[BigPapi]

you win. uhm wait... lose

legally we can buy beer at 16 here, but even when younger it's not that big of a problem usually. We're pretty tolerant regarding those things

[shazbox]

According to a road sign I saw, Statutory rape is ILLEGAL there...

Almost as expensive as England then?! Robbing bastards!

[PokerSwede]

aren't the women in sweden hotter than the women in new york

So I've heard. I've never been to New York before so I don't know, but judging from other European countries like Germany (sorry XTR) and England (Brrr) we're pretty far ahead in that area

So in that way, it suuuucks to leave...

[zook]

The women of Manhattan are hot hot hot. It may be the number and the fact that I ignore the ugly ones, but damn if I don't get in trouble every time I go to NYC with a gf. (And almost get run over.)

[Halv]

gas prices passed $3/liter in norway the other day. Cigarette prices are insane. I don't drive or smoke so it's not a big deal, but don't get me started on liquor prices..

[mrhappy333]

do you use public transportation? how do you move around ? walk, bike?

[Halv]

What is this "move around" of which you speak?

[jyms]

3.8 liters to a gallon. Americans pay some of the cheapest gas prices in the WORLD. But don't expect them to know that.

$1.30 here in Toronto x 3.9 = $5.07 a gallon

True.

Still though, in the last few years gas has about tripled or so in price over here and it's almost certainly going to keep going higher. It's all relative. It doesn't affect me but I guess I'm one of the lucky ones that make enough money and I don't drive particularly much. I'm almost always within 5-10 miles or so from where I live. Somebody who was already struggling to begin with and drives a lot probably doesn't take much comfort in the fact that gas has always been much more expensive in most of the world.

[flomo]

go USA
lets bomb the rest of the world


welcome to America!

Whats wrong with our medical care? Sure, it might be better elsewhere (like in Norway) but it sure don't suck.

[PokerSwede]

Seems like the gas prices are the same in Sweden as some other European countries (Norway etc)..

Regarding the medical care, I believe it was ranked among the lowest in Europe a few years ago. If you have to visit a dentist, for example, it's sometimes cheaper to fly to Estonia or Latvia and get it done there and usually with better results.
Although, I haven't had problems with it myself, medical care that is, but this is what I've heard/been told and what the general opinion seems to be.

Maybe I shouldn't be too hard on it. Guess I had to find reasons to leave when there are quite a few good things about our country - beautiful women for example

What's wrong with English girls? Mind you, from what I remember of the pub last week, you may have a point. Even with beer goggles, some of them still looked bad. There are some fit girls in England though.

Of course I'm not saying they're all bad :P There are hot women everywhere, but if you say 7 out 10 are hot in Sweden, it's maybe 4/10 in England. Or something like that, just my estimation.

[Rage2100]

I must admit, most Swedish girls do look fine. All the ones I've seen on TV anyway.

[will641]

pikes?

[yourfather]

I live in Manhattan. Gas prices dont matter since no one who actually lives here drives. There are hot women, but not overwhelmingly. When I visited LA the women were much hotter.

[PokerSwede]

[will641]

nice...

[wufwugy]

afaik gas in europe or most european regions replace a lot of taxes like income tax. so they're not necessarily paying more for gas than US. in fact they may overall be paying less if other taxes are low enough.

[Jack Sawyer]

holy crap

now I want to move to sweden, and get some nice chick to teach me the language

i actually want to move to sweden and colombia at the same time. crap, I can't choose...

[will641]

yes please dont sell your house yet. i will buy it!

[wufwugy]

non-US women are hotter than US women. this is because of how fat US women are. however, certain key areas of the country with beaches and high social demand for hot women, have tons of them.

i imagine that when i go on vacay to europe one of these days i will never leave

[wufwugy]

million dollars is waaaaay too much for thailand

40k/year is supreme balla there afaik. if i felt like i didn't like white people and our society and like third-world asia's i would be there in an instant

Vegas and LA are pretty good for this.
Washington wasn't even that bad. Probably amazing if you're into freaky hippie/goth/pagan chicks.

The East Coast just sucks and Michigan has pretty much gone to shit.

[Fnord]

New York

I take that back. New York if you can afford to hang with the well-off is a pretty good deal. But that would be at least 200k/year.

ive lived in WA my entire life. we do have some damn fine women, but really theres only a lot of them in key areas, like large cities and near universities. i live in Puyallup and we have nothing here that demands hotness so we dont have a bunch of it.

dont get me wrong, we do have hot women, but let me put it in perspective. i walk into some random bar and its mainly men, there are a number of women yet the large majority of them are fat and/or homely, and the couple of 'above average' women are surrounded by men. however, we do have women as hot as they come, they're just hard to find, and when i do find them they have men crawling all over them.

WA is imo one of the worst places in the US (and thus the world) to find women. we seem to have more men than we do women, and most the women need to lose weight. also the weather is so bad and there's little to do that i have a theory that involves WA women being unable to be alone. i have known exactly zero women up here who are attractive who weren't in a relationship or between relationships (very rare since most relationships seem to end with the beginning of a different relationship) for more than a month. so even if we do have a lot of hot women up here, finding one thats 'available' pretty much takes an act of god.

I have friends who's lived in Thailand for 3 months or so and they say it's the best place on earth. I've never been there though but I've never met anyone who's been there and regrets it.
If you move there, I'll come visit you for sure!

[2_Thumbs_Up]

I was in New York a few years ago. I only saw one hot girl for the entire week i was there. When we walked passed eachother, i heard her speak swedish.

[pantherhound]

lol

did anyone see that film with Cuba Gooding jr called Boat Trip, and the swedish cheerleading team or whatver, led by Victoria Silvstedt?

worth watching just for them, although there are some other funny moments.

the german girls ive met and the swedish girls,... seriously there wasnt much difference in hotness between two countries german girls get a really bad rep lol.

[will641]

i love how this thread has gone from what pokerswede should do with his poker money to how hot girls are in certain parts of the world. baller.

[pantherhound]

btw rage the prob with english girls isnt their inherent hotness or lack of, its our general drinking culture and the chavettes which engage in it which make a lot of them so offputting. in the rest of europe women remain elegant but you see so many english girls just drinking themselves into a stupor and being scraped out of the drain.

i am so glad my girlfriend is well behaved because its often pot luck whether the sweet girl u meet turns out to be a relentless boozer even in upper middle class areas.

Having said all this, i am in Nottingham and some of the undergrads here are off the chain. Leeds near the Uni is good for hotties too

And some of them seem to have bigger beer guts than the blokes now.

Hehe yeah,

Which reminds me, I'm gonna do as you said - transfer all the money to some US site before I move how about withdrawals and stuff? From what I understand that's one of the tricky parts, no?

Ok, now we can get back on "topic"

[will641]

yeah im not too sure, cause ive never deposited online. afaik, its difficult to deposit any significant amount. i think depositing like $600 is the most you can do.

[wufwugy]

oh onto the op i guess, just deposit the max on stars, email them to raise it, they'll raise it, deposit max, email them to raise it theyll raise it, deposit max, etc etc until arr in.

[wufwugy]

oh and withdrawals are easy with stars. just paper check it to your address

[PokerSwede]

Sweet, thanks! Seems like that seem to be all sorted out, soooooo... I hear Croatian women are very beautiful - anyone can confirm?

[wufwugy]

eastern european women may just be the hottest in the world

[Jack Sawyer]

eastern european women may just be the hottest in the world

ex-Russia countries ftw (including current Russia)
then Colombia & Brazil tie

[wufwugy]

seriously i dont get it. like hungary and romania and greece. o m g. i love me some azn, latin, black chicks too, but there just doesn't seem like anything as hot as eastern bloc

They are beautiful but they are constantly on your back yepping and nagging. They also love their 50+ family more than you (always).

thats bollocks mate, just go to leeds or nottingham campuses during the day, incredible talent. if ure ever in headingley on the weekend, in leeds go to the original oak, no shortage of hot blondes. minor beat, they are thick as pigshit. and by night, well, if u want to scrape them out of the drain then be my guest.

The most incredible place for hot girls in one room I have ever experienced was when I was living in a ski resort in Italy. We were out the nigth before New Years Eve 2005 and all the Milanese girls came up for some skiing for the new year. I went to a normally quiet bar with some people i worked with and the place was swarming with the hottest girls imaginable. usually when I hear these stories I automatically assume they are exagerrated, but no lie the amount of talent was staggering.

unfortunately most of the girls were paired up with model-like italian guys.


cliff note, milan.

oh and about the croatian women, whoever said abouit the nagging is dead right. they are hot but they are sooo stern and mean. if u ever get with one of those, if u cheat on her make damn sure she doesnt find out because she'll cut ur bollocks off!

Most of the East Coast sucks. Right place right time its a goldmine. College campuses (Clemson, Auburn, Florida, Virginia etc.) are the place to be and Spring Break in Florida pretty much has an unwritten "no fat chicks" rule.

Mmmmmm, Italians... One of the best there is.

I'd like to see Miami/Florida too, if it's very overrated or not, cause my image of it, and most others I know, is that it's hot women only and pretty much a paradise.
Guess I'd be disappointed...

And guess I should stay away from Croatian's :P
