Gonna be in SJC in a few weeks.
What's the min/max buy-ins for these NL games they spread???
Never played in NorCal before.

Went in there for the first time tonight while waiting for a Bay 101 seat.. It does have a lot of flashy lighting and crappy music like in Vegas. Doesn't make me want to play there though. Also, I didn't see any eye candy, but one man's eye candy can be another man's "ugh".

1-2-3: $50 min/$300 max
2-3-5: $100 min/$500 max
5-5-10: not sure, but around $300/$1500

The waitresses are eye candy, outfits are pretty revealing. Lots of cleavage, and some of them have lots of it. Don't know your standards, probably higher than anything you can actually get, but you wouldn't turn down the vast majority of the women there. Stop acting like you would.

Thank you, I'lll be stopping by there in 2 weeks.

I didn't see anything that appealed to me. Not everyone has the same tastes, like I said.

pig4bill confirmed racist

does casino m8trix have tournies yet?

I am in the Bay Area this week and I took my first trip to M8trix. I was excited to play in the new 9/18 game I read they had in this thread. Unfortunately, the game had long been changed back to the 8/16 half kill game they ran at GC because that is what the players wanted. Not liking kills I just played 6/12.

I'm not trying to write this to vent, but I must admit I was very surprised by this. It seems strange to me, now that M8trix and Bay 101 are practically walking distance away that that the 3 low stakes LHE games (3/6,6/12,8/16) are all identical. I would think it would be better for the South Bay players if the games were a little different at the two card rooms. For example those preferring 9/18 could have played at M8trix and those preferring 8/16 w half kill could play at Bay 101. Or something like one place could use $3 chips for the 6/12 games. Or one spreading 2/4 (assuming neither do.)

Anybody agree or disagree?

next time call ahead to confirm.

A) The casino doesn't spread what the players want (necessarily). They spread what they want, which sometimes takes into account what players want, sometimes not.

B) Players don't necessarily want what is good for them.

C) 4-chip/8-chip with a kill tends to generate more action than a 3-chip/6-chip game.

D) Playing 9/18 necessitates a new chip deonomination (3-dollar) which slows things down as it's an additional color they have to stock readily, color-up/down, etc.

E) There are probably like 5 other reasons I'm not surprised the 9/18 didn't stick around.

1. 10/20 LHE isnt that far off from 9/18...prolly y rite?

dont why get this place gets so much hate. room seems pleasant with slight perfume smell and has a nice noodle bar. went on friday and saturday night and still some parking available.

but not that many poker tables

A) M8trix spreads what the players want. They spread a 100/200 limit on occasion because some players want it. Same with the 10/25 NL game.

B) Agree.

C) Agree

D) They already had red $3 chips, dealers use them for drops.

They originally added 9/18 for 2 reasons. They assumed it would drop more, because its a 3 chip game. Also, word was they wanted to get away from "Garden City" games. At least that was what I heard.

What they didn't count on was nobody wanted to play 9/18. The customers wanted 8/16. So they went back to 8/16, but unfortunately for them their customers are already at Bay 101. Loyal GC players are now Bay 101 customers. Brilliant move management.

I loved the 8/16 game at GC, and would love to play it at M8trix. I now have to go to the other place to find that game. If it aint broke, don't fix it. Some people just don't get it.

They lost their ballot initiative for more poker tables, and they will not be running tourneys for the foreseeable future.

They need to pick a color. I hate the color changes. If you want to see some people who do not know how to play, go play the 1-2-3/NL. They need to mix in some aquariums or something, feels like I'm playing in a hotel lobby.

Food is good, but high dig. Waitresses rarely get your order right.

Overall, worth it, but not for a 12 hour session. I have to limit myself to 2-6 hours or I go mental. Probably better off that way anyway. The ceiling blobs will get you.

I'm not quite sure who is posting misinformation about the 10-25 game but it goes Monday Wednesday and Friday and it is a hosted game so you need to contact the host Eldon. On Monday (like yesterday), we got 2 games going. On Wednesday (last wednesday) we got 3 games going and Fridays we usually get 4 games going.

does anybody know whatever happened to this guy?

you have a wikipedia page that's hella baller

Cross posting from the Bay101 thread:

The owners of Bay 101 just purchased the San Jose Airport Garden Hotel, a property located next door to their card-room competitor, Casino M8trix.

How has the action been on the 5-5-10 lately? I remember it being quite good when the place first opened up, but I haven't been there in a while.

When it goes it good. I prefer it to the 2-3-5, same style game but plays bigger obviously.

I've banked before like he did and I was not barred? but I was losing some good amount of cash

It seems as though M8trix isn't spreading 5-5-10 anymore. Replaced it with 2-3-5 deep stack, $500-$1500 buy in. Anyone know what the deal is?

5-5-10 game very rarely ran so they decided to spread deep stack instead. Personally I generally wanted to play 5-5-10 but this will likely result in game that is between the regular 2-3-5 and the 10-25 being spread everyday which is definitely a good thing. Afaik 5-5-10 only ran regularly on friday and sporadically late on other midweek days.

anyone feel the games arent much softer on fridays and saturdays than weekdays? feels like the same regs are playing and new fishys cant get seats from the long list.
