How does the action in new england compare to other parts of the country? I've only played in CT, MA, and NH. I've heard the action in places like florida and texas is much splashier.
i've noticed almost no difference from place to place - a few places are tighter or splashier but has more to do with table draw and whether they allow for bomb pots and matching stacks more than the innate nature of the average rec - which will always be upon a spectrum of bad - but generally making bigger mistakes in games that have matching stacks, straddles, bomb pots, etc
Can only speak to 1/2, but IME have found weekend MGM Springfield games were comparable in looseness/splashiness to smaller-room 1/2 and 1/3 games in Fort Lauderdale/Miami
No limit action has been down considerably in TX and FL since their post covid heyday and have been snuffed out by lots of Euro and South American pros. NE action in NLH is quite good in comparison, albeit lower stakes.

In terms of FL, I believe that at Hard Rock, but I can't recall seeing a single Euro or South American pro at any of the smaller FTL/MIA rooms - there were a few early/mid 20's American regs, but most didn't strike me as crushers
^youre 100%. Correct it’s not uncommon to get 4 or 5 euro/ South American pros at each 2/5 game. Hard rock holly is overrated for 2/5 because of this. Tampa/jax/bonita>hollywood not close either
Also boston encore 2/5 is amazing even with bad rake those games are way better than pro fest in Hollywood 2/5
Heard someone from DR got cough cheating in the Manchester Revo. Something about sleeving cards for PLO bomb pots
