Seattle

Will be in town August 15-18. Any further info for mixed games in the area? Especially looking for Friday and Sunday.

What's the rake (or time fee) in the 6/12 mix and 15/30 mix?

1) call the room and find out
2) why does it even matter?

For 15/30, it’s $5 with rake reduction to $4 for 5 handed and $3 for 4 handed. Enjoyed playing with everyone last night. Still no Dramaha games but good mix with a lot of 1 winner games. Good food half off as well. And free fresh cookies at 3 a.m. brought around to the tables.

What games were played? Is it the same every time?

No straight A-5 triple draw otherwise same as games listed above but also included stud high and limit hold 'em

Burger at Aces poker was just about the most mediocre burg I've had in recent memory

Good plo game, bad table management. Started a new table, then ours lost two

There you go!

+753 1/3 PLO [ 2-3 hour session]

Usual suspects at Ace's poker. I hadn't played in here in a year or two, last time I played poker was at Caribbean like last November. Notable hands:

[hero buys in for $200, donks off $80, then adds another $200)

TT77 suited. $10 straddle on button, i call in late position, button makes it $50, like four people call. Flop is AJ7. Lady "J" UTG bets 200, I go all in for 270. Everybody else folds, "J" calls. Turn is a T, river a brick. "J" had two pair, AJ
AAxx double suited worked out a couple times for a few stacks

Needed more servers working the floor.

Went to WinCo for some groceries, stopped at Dicks. A deluxe is $5.30 now, geez! They'ye not even that good, I'd rather have a big mac/qpc at the same price.

edit: overall, the 1/3 PLO at Aces is a fun, low-stress game. We had two people call all in flop/turns with nothing but a gutshot. I'll be going more often in the fall/winter.

Parking can be tough, however at 6pm on a Saturday there were a few primo spaces open.

Some of the regs, i.e. "J", can be annoying, but at this point most everyone in the room is aware of their tit so there's less drama.

Sadly I think a Big Mac is like $8 now, so I'll still solidly choose the Deluxe even if it costs too damn much. My fat guy meal of deluxe/cheeseburger/fries/shake is now over $15, smh.

I've only played at Aces twice, but both times barely found a spot in their lot. And, I've wondered if it's 100% safe if you were to head out to the further spots with a thousand or two cash in your pocket (not that that's been a concern of mine with how I play, har har). Anyone ever heard of anyone having trouble in the parking lot? And, are there secondary options if you get there and the lot is full, other than waiting for someone to leave?

$6.49 for a big mac in my part of town. The MCD's down the street from Dick's has to be open late?

From what I've seen at Aces, people just start parking on the yellow striped curbs, in the driveway of the little coffee stand, etc. I've never not been able to find a parking space, you'll just be parking in the way way back on a 70s era light industrial park.

Just keep in the back of you mind... houses here are mostly in the 800k range, how bad could it be?

Also the PLO regs I'd imagine always have big bankrolls and still play. I've always imagined casino parking lots to be safe; I'd be more worried about accidentally dropping my cash rather than being mugged in the 1-5 minutes it takes to get to your parking space.

I think people ordering shakes is what slows the line at Dicks. Dude in front of me ordered like 3 of them

Maverick increased rake again on the 400 mtt. Originally 400+50, then about 6 months ago 400 + 60. Now 400 + 70 and they call the extra 10 dealer appreciation like they never paid the dealers before. I am about done with poker in Seattle. The weekly is 150+50. Perssons is raking mtt to death.

Live at Ace's poker, Lakewood. 6/12 Omaha. A couple of the usuals from way back are here.

I remember when this place was an actual casino. Better bathrooms than Ace's Lynnwood, McDonald's across the street.

Got 3/4 of a massive kill pot with nut hearts and nut low, was almost $400. Raised/capped multiple streets until the last. Fun!

Just one server available, and a bartender

Both days, sat/sun, the 6/12 o8 game barely lasted a couple of hours until it broke.

Shame, the Sunday game was fun while it lasted. The player pool for this game must be tiny; it also sucks because the list will have 3 people on it, you'll wait an hour or so, only to play two hours or so until the game breaks.

Guess the move is to start the game in the am. Not for me

Hey all,

I'm going to be up in Seattle on black Friday with some time to kill during the day.

Are there currently any places within driving distance of west Seattle that spread Omaha/8 or mixed games on Fridays?

Thanks

Forget it. Only options are driving to Lakewood or Kirkland, Friday Seattle traffic. Two hours minimum rt.

Thanks. That sounds awful. I'll find something else to do

Try going to Roxbury lanes, forgot about that place. They do dpankumemta, maybe call and see if they have a game going. Decent food,.they have some carny table.games
