Are you looking at them on Poker Atlas? If not, you might just spot check them on there and see what they really get going every night. All of these places have a lot of games on their list of games they spread, but then nothing goes except a 1/2 nlhe at most of them. At least that's the way it is around DFW.

I am using Poker Atlas. Was on my PC, but now looking on my phone (I'm used to Bravo) and The Lodge is much better so far

I hope the closer rooms get a few good games going while I'm there.

Was also curious about play, room vibe, etc., but they are probably pretty similar. (I'm a woman and will probably be on my own, but I'm used to being the only woman at many rooms, and I've played in a lot of underground rooms on my own, so I'm not worried about it.)

Thanks, everyone.

I would say The Lodge comfortably clears all the other rooms by a long shot on those aspects, and would recommend the slightly longer commute to it.

I'm coming to Austin for a week of work at the Convention Center (Coindesk event). Any recommendations for nearby rooms I can walk or Uber to? I play limit and pot-limit Omaha, NLH up to 2/3-5.

Thanks.

Not great players and really good action. About a $10 - $12 Lyft fare from the Hampton Inn near the convention center. BYOB and there is a pizza place next door that sells beer to go

. $10/day membership and $12/hour to play. Very good dealers. I'd definitely go back.

Get Poker Atlas!

It is certainly the largest room in the area. All the other rooms just are too small in ATX. The Lodge could use a few improvements, but overall there is action there every day. Always good dealers there. Certainly a few characters that play there regularly.

LOL. The first time I played poker, my then-boyfriend (now husband) handed me $200 to play 2/4 limit. He said he heard loud fun and laughter at another table and went to see what was going on, and it was me and my table

(Lost the $200 in about 45 minutes, but hooked ever since!)

One of the things I love about poker is the camaraderie. I don't actually have any female friends, which sounds sad to some, but not to me. I've been a Tomboy since I was born and still am

My husband is my best friend and poker games are my "nights out." I have as much fun as possible!
