San Francisco, CA Bay Area
I think it's about time there's a thread for the bay area outside of SJ. Not everyone play at bay 101.
This thread is for California Grand, Oaks, Palace, Livermore Casino, Lucky Buck, Bay 101, Garden City, Artichoke Joe's, and Lucky Chances. I know I'm missing a lot of the smaller cardrooms, but I think I named all the big ones.
TR, BBV, ruling, etc all goes here.
I'll start with a little bout me. Last year I was a reg at Oaks. I went so often people would occasionally ask, because of my age, whether I'm in school or not. This year I've been going to Garden City more often under a different board name. Despite the extra 40 minute drive, they got true no-limit and the 8/16 is a lot juicer than the 6/12 at Oaks. Nowadays whenever I decide to go to Oaks I get greeted by "hey long time no see" and "where've you been?" Makes me feel like a true degenerate 😃
btw, CaliGrand's daisy-chained force move tables suck balls.

The thing missing in Bay Area cardrooms is fun. I played in another state this weekend where there was the ability to run it twice even at low levels, bomb pots, laughing etc. Does management at local rooms just not care about catering to these types? Or is it a legal thing preventing these types of things?

No one neither agrees nor disagrees with this?
It was posted by you. Bayes' Theorem suggests that most people think that it's bullshit.
People slowing down the game to run it twice does not sound like fun, and it takes some of the gamble out of the game. Most fun tables are full of people who want to gamble, not to get a chop.
How's it going everyone.
What venues have NLH 5-10 or bigger? Is it mostly just Bay 101?
Does Bay 101 have one most every day?
Thanks
First time at Bay 101 and played in the $250 Monday Mystery Bounty tournament. They had 92 players. Busted out 49th.
I'm very impressed with the staff and how the tournament was run.
Tomorrow is the $300 Christmas Eve Turbo starting at 9:15 A.M. It should have over 100 players and a nice size prize pool.
You can follow all Bay 101 tournaments on Poker Atlas. They even do chip updates at the breaks.
