Thanks all.
The terminology used to describe Portland's poker scene is misleading. There are variations in how rooms handle the game (at PDX Poker Room, formally Encore, you are only allowed to cash out during five minute breaks which occur every hour), but the games play like cash. You buy in for 40-300 blinds, depending on the room, and you play.
I've only been to two clubs, but PDX Poker Room has cash games running every day, starting at 5:00 PM. Usually 1/2 NLHE, but we started a 2/5 NLHE game last night (Tuesday) after enough players requested the game. By 11:00 PM there was a full table of 2/5 and two full tables of 1/2.
