Shark Tank Poker Club (Columbus, OH)
Anyone been to NST? Do you pay $20 bucks every time you go play cash games there? Is there a rake?

Tank focuses on tourneys more than cash games, so especially early in the day a cash game can be a little harder to come by. But if you do get into a cash game, the Tank tends to play about one level up in stakes as Hollywood (e.g., the 1/2 game at the Tank often plays like the 2/5 game at Hollywood). No booze or real food at the Tank, so HW has the clear advantage there, but in the same strip mall as the Tank there are restaurants and bars, so you can duck out during a break for either. Both are clean, neat, and professionally run. Hollywood takes a rake and promo fund, while Tank is skirting that legal-ish line of no rake but charging an up-front "membership fee" for the day, which if you are planning on a long session is a much better deal than rake for the player.
