    I'm travelling to pennsylvania/Philadelphia in two weeks from the UK and staying for three months.

    I normally play live however tend to play PLO and PLO8 online on both 888 and pokerstars.

    Can anyone please tell me, being a UK citizen, will i be able to play poker on any websites whilst over there. I know i can't play on Stars while on US soil but are there any sites i could play on whilst over there and be able to cash out money into my UK bank account.

    Also would anyone please be able to reccomend any live places to play whilst there as this is the first time i'm travelling to the states whilst over the age of 21. I play £30-50 live Tournaments mainly however i do play £1/1 cash games in the casino with a straddle so information about this would be helpful in terms of what stakes to expect.

    Thanks for your comments in advance Chris/Pandick

    An hour drive to Atlantic City in New Jersey is a better idea and going to be a lot more fun on your visit. They also have cheap buses that will take you there too. Enjoy.

    No you wont be able to play online. But danny is right. You are one hour from Atlantic City . Super easy drive. They have
    tournaments running everyday. Cash game 24/7. Make sure to get a players card wherever you decide to play. I recommend Harrahs or Borgata.

    you could play on bovada, merge, Cake/Lock, or ACR while you are here. I doubt you have accounts on any of those being from the UK but you could create them and your cashouts will be much faster than ours over here if its going to a UK bank acct. Also you should definitely check out Atlantic City for some live action as has been suggested

    When you get to the Borgata (get your players card) & head to the poker room; it's much better than Harahs. There is more action for your money & decent comps for your meals while you are playing.

    as far as live play, the casino that's ~90miles west of philly is only worth going to on the weekends imo but you might want to check out the philly poker scene if you dont want to go the whole way to AC... i know the wsopc goes to Harrah's Chester (in philly) once a year at least...think there might be one called the parx or parks or something that might be worth visiting also but haven't been to either place myself.
