Bay 101 only has about 1/2 the gambooling Cal-side games that GC has. GC Cal-side games are superior to Bay 101 as they offer the bonuses. They have a ton of sucker bet games with lots of bonus bets: for instance, GC blackjack tables have Buster Bets, Reds bonus bets, 20 bonus bets, etc. that have a progressive pay structure up to 1000:1 so lots of fish love that.
They also have 3Card and 6Card poker and Fortune Pai Gow, War, Pokara, Texas Hold-em table game, and I think they do some bonus stuff with their Bacarat as well...
So, its a Cal-side gamers paradise. Bay 101 on the other hand only has non Bonus Pai Gow, normal Blackjack, and 3card poker. If you look the tables at Bay101, the tables are worn and dirty. So when the Cal-side gamer goes to the M8trix just to "see" what its like, they are never going back to Bay101. Tables are clean and brand new, and there is more variety and it will be in a much better setting. This is the area where M8trix will absolutely CRUSH Bay101 to the point where Bay will be forced to incorporate a wider variety of games...

FWIW, I hate a 3 blind structure on any game.

Its not so much that i'm saying 1-2-2 is unbeatable. What i'm saying is ANY no-limit game that caps buy-in at 50bb and then routinely has players buy-in short at 25bb is going to be unbeatable. And that is the majority of 1-2-2 at Bay. Now, on Friday nights when that average chip stack at the table gets up to 100bb, then absolutely, the game is beatable. But that isn't the game. Usually, its full of short stacking short money-ed players.
A 1-2-3 game that allowed you to buy-in for 100bb like GC does would be much better. I made the suggestion to the middle managers there but didn't press it since I refuse to play 1-2-2 there and would rather go to GC to play at that level if my bankroll is hurting and I have to drop down from the 2-3-5 game.
incidentally, I like the 3 blind structure, ensures a lot more action

Yes, if you are Big Money and play the big games, Bay is more amiable to suggestions, but not so much for every other aspect of Bay. For instance, they have a $120 Friday Tourney that routinely sells out. We've been suggesting for months that they turn it into a $200 buy-in and they won't do it. To be fair, they are polite, its not like they tell you to intercourse off. But next time you are at Bay, ask for a comment card. They are always out of them because they don't bother to restock them next to their little suggestion box on the North side of the casino by their HR department.
Another suggestion that falls on deaf ears is getting them to put table changes on the board. They refuse to do that and every single time I play there is always some drama about table changes. A simple problem that could be fixed by doing what everyone else does... simply put the table change request on the board.
Anyways, overall Bay 101 management is better than GC (hard not to be really) and it will be interesting to see what happens when M8trix opens.

I tried that once in Vegas and I got a never ending string of 23 and 58 in the sb.
