Live Poker in Alaska
There are no live poker rooms in Alaska. Depending on where you live within the state, your best bet for live poker is to travel to neighboring British Columbia, Canada for live poker action. There are a couple small poker rooms in the northern part of the province, however for significant live poker action you would have to travel to Vancouver, B.C. and the surrounding areas. Due to the extensive travel time and costs involved, playing online poker is a logical choice.
