Portland, OR
New to Portland, looking for a room to play at. Primarily interested in finding a 1/2 NLH game. Don't want to drive an hour or whatever to the closest casino. Anybody know of any rooms in or close to the city?
Googling has yielded limited success, the best thing I can seem to find is the Westside Poker Club, which meets several times a week in a restaurant in Beaverton and runs donkaments and sometimes 1/2. Anybody have any experience with this place?
Any info appreciated. Cheers.

Any up to date info on rooms in the area? I know there's final table in SW, the game in SE, meadows in NE and last frontier way up in La Center but idk much beyond that.
Current impressions would be nice, hitting up final table regardless since it's closest, will report back after I do.

You have the two bolded in the opposite areas (The Game is in SW, Final Table SE).
The only other place I know of is the Kit Kat Club (strip joint) that has poker every evening. Inner NW near Chinatown.

Oops yea you're right. One other question I had is what are expectations around tipping? What's typical pre/post flop? Don't want to stiff the dealer accidentally, know they are working for a living.

Tipping at the places I have been are pretty much the same as poker in other cities. Almost everyone gives a dollar per hand, some give bigger for bigger pots.
Going up to Portland tomorrow, anywhere to play 2-5 or 5-5?
Going to Portland and the NW for a month next week. Where are some places with the most players? Would assume thats $300 1-2

Portland Meadows is the best room imo. $20-25 door fee and no rake. Usually multiple tables running of $1/$2 $400 max and they get some bigger games running as well. All tables have a double board 5 card plo hand each orbit, some have 2 each orbit. These are optional. Only complaint is their parking situation isn’t great. If there are no spots in the lot you can park down the road at the Comcast building.
