Don't laugh but Pauma's Wednesday Night tournaments are actually pretty decent if you are looking to have some fun. The turnouts are always great on Wednesdays.

Since Pala and Harrahs don't offer any tourneys on Wednesday Nights, they always fill all 5 tables well before the tournament starts and usually have a lengthy waiting list.

$25 buy in with optional $20 add-on, and 1st place often pays $800+.

Friendly environment too, there are worse ways to spend a Wednesday Night.

I really can't recommend Pauma for anything else tho..

Pauma add the 6th table on Wednesday.
Wednesday they always sold out with alternative list
(Wednesday is their casino drawing day (no idea on the drawing it's for slot and table player)
So one can easily looking at a 1600-2000 prize pool

Signed up at Pauma on Wednesday by 6 pm for 7 pm tournament, so I didn't get placed on alternate list. Then drove to Harrahs for Earl of Sandwich dinner and picked up some magazines at Harrah's poker room. Drove back to Pauma for the tournament.

Rinsed and Repeated that each Wednesday for a month..chopped 2 of the 4

Anyone know the catalyst behind the 10/25 PLO that has gone at oceans this week?
Only Palomar game players?

Also, didn't realize there was an Earl at Harrahs. Maybe have to go there for the next video poker trip instead of Barona.

Good job stu
It would be interesting to figure out who u r

Yep the only Earl in San Diego.

Only other Earl in SoCal is at Downtown Disney afaik..

Thanks, not really a Pauma regular like most of the tourney players.

Mostly play Pechanga and Oceans 11 tourneys and 2/2 and 2/3 at O11 and 1/3 at Pechanga..

I'm not sure what the catalyst is but all the bigger games have been running more often lately including NL, PLO, and mixed games

Tax returns

The people smart enough to have the money to play the bigger games don't get returns.

Hello guys I need some help. A dealer from my room in Nevada has a brother he has lost touch with. He knows he was dealing at Viejas the years leading up to it's closure but has no idea where he is now. I don't want to use names here so if any ex Viejas dealers or floor or anyone who knows them can help me out I would appreciate it. Please PM me.

Thanks

I suggest that dealer go to Sycuan and barona Casino. Most if not all Viejas dealer and floorman went to those places

I'm going to be in Carmel Valley for a few days. Any advice on close places for 2/5?

5/5 at oceans only option.

It's about 45 mins away from pechanga which usually has a 2/5 going

How would you guys rate the rooms here? I've only ever played at Barona in the past and it has always had good action. Thinking about moving back in a few months once I finish my military service to go to school here/pursue poker.

I have the same question as I will be moving to the Pendleton area in April

Been to Sycuan and rarely go to Barona the poker scene there is lame.

How often does the 8/16 go?
Ever notice PLO going?

I wonder if I have ever seen you at Palomar (back when they were still open) or at Seven Mile. I see you post a lot itt.

Anyways, let me give you a rundown. I have been playing anywhere from 3-5 days a week for the past few months. Lots of times I will be there early in the morning to help start the 4/8 omaha 8/b. That game usually starts anywhere from 9:30am to 10:30am.

8/16 has run every time I have played in the last few months. It usually will start around 11:30am to 12:30pm. Lot of the players who start the 4/8 are also on the 8/16 list. So sometimes the floor will wait till there is a decent list for the 4/8 before opening the 8/16, as to not break the 4/8. Other times, the floor doesn't give a damn about the 4/8 and will start the 8/16 like 30 minutes after starting the 4/8 and breaking the 4/8 in the process.

Some days, the 8/16 will break due to people going broke and/or players hoping from game to game. There are at least two old regulars (one is 89 years old, the other 93 years old) who will jump from 4/8 to 8/16 to 4/8 etc.

I have been there at night and the 8/16 has always been running. Sometimes it will get close to life support around like 7 or 8 pm. I think the full kill makes the game's regularity very spotty. Often times it will get down to like 5 or 6 players plus a prop. Minimum buy in is $80 and I often see lot of short stackers in the game.

Other times, I have walked in around 8am to see that an 8/16 game from the previous night is still running, though that only happened a handful of times.

There's a decent player pool so you'll get a wide range of tables. Sometimes all nits where every pot is either chopped by the blinds, raise and all folds or occasionally a 2-4 way pot. Other times, you get guys who are voluntarily killing it every hand or straddling when there isn't a kill or blind raising.

For a while there, the dealers were mentioning how every other pot was $1000t and how crazy the 8/16 was (this was when I had only played the 4/8). If it gets capped every street in a kill pot, each person contributes $384. Five ways, that's a $1920 pot. They were having crazy pots like this left and right.

PLO goes every day. I never played it or pay any attention to it though. Think it starts most days around 1pm or so, after the daily tournament is done.

Thanks, unfortunately I didn't get any poker in this trip...

Thanks? This is for oceans 11??

7 mile

Omg. I have not been playing much poker, but 7 mile has 8/16 and PLO which amaze me (they only have 9tables?)
