Hey Guys,

I'm looking for a room in an apartment or house or 1 bedroom apartment for a month from April 18- May 18, dates are flexible, but around that general time in the bay area. Please pm if anyone might have some info on a place. Thanks.

Reminder:

$4/8 Stud-8 (Hi-Lo Stud) with NO KILL will run EVERY THURSDAY at 7pm starting March 6 (i.e. TONIGHT).

Call LC now if you don't yet have your name on the board: (650)758-2237.

The bad beat jackpot will be doubled to $79200 on March 6. Quad deuces or better beaten by a better hand.

As with other "by appointment" games in the Bay Area, sign-ups begin one week in advance.

Try Craigslist or AirBnB.

I find myself near Oaks Card room for a few days. How often do they have NL bigger than 1-2 running? Like if I show up on a weekday at noon, will there be at least one 2-4 NL (or spread NL or whatever the **** they have) running?

The Oaks has 100 max and 200 max SPREAD LIMIT.

The maximum bet for each betting round in 100-max is $100.

The maximum bet for each betting round in 200-max is $200.

The 200-max game should start around noon each day, with one or two props if necessary.

If you prefer no limit, you'll need to go to Lucky Chances (shuttle bus from Colma BART), California Grand (in Pacheco), or Graton (in Rohnert Park).

The $4/8 Stud-8 (Eight or Better Stud Hi Lo) game at Lucky Chances will run on Thursdays at 6pm starting March 13.

LC management requested an earlier start time due to a staffing issue.

Call LC now if you don't yet have your name on the board: (650)758-2237.

As with other "by appointment" games in the SF Bay Area, sign-ups begin one week in advance.

The Stud jackpot at LC was hit last Friday afternoon. Assuming that it isn't hit again before Thursday, the jackpot will be doubled to $48200 on March 13.

A player reported that despite having 21 call-ins, the $10/20 Limit Omaha 8 game at The 101 in Petaluma did NOT run this past Saturday March 8. Only 5 players out of 21 actually showed up.

Be aware of this if you are planning to check out this game in upcoming weeks.

Hey dude private message me. Im in oakland and open to sharing gas prices to nearby casinos. I currently play at oaks, but enjoy new environments.

Not surprisingly, The 101 Casino in Petaluma has replaced the $10/20 Limit Omaha 8 game with a $2/5 Pot Limit Omaha 8 (PLO8) game on Saturday at 5pm.

I suspect that a handful of action junkies (i.e. Tony, Justo) pushed this onto management.

I always hear the structure for the lucky chances Sunday is really bad but does anyone actually have the blind structure. I would like to see it because I am driving from sacramento and want to see if it's worth driving so early in the morning for the last Sunday tourney. Thanks

The Lucky Chances $245 buy-in structure is not that good.

10000 chips to start. 20-minute levels. Blinds will be rolled back at the final table so that the average stack size will be approximately 20 times the size of the big blind.

Ante-SB-BB

etc.

================================================== ===============

If you want a better structure for a $240 buy-in tournament, try The 101 Casino in Petaluma next weekend (Friday March 28-Sunday March 30) if you don't mind playing against a smaller field of players (probably less than 100) and having the tournament spread out over two days (Day 1A/1B on March 28/29, with Day 2 on March 30). 15000 chips to start, 30-minute levels, $22000 prize pool guarantee (9 players paid: 1st place $10K, 2nd place $4000, 3rd place $3000, 4th place $2000, 5th place $1000, 6th-9th $500 each)

The $4/8 Stud-8 (Eight or Better Stud Hi Lo) game at Lucky Chances has been pushed back to Thursdays at 7pm starting March 27.

The players have convinced LC management to push back the start time to 7pm, as 6pm was too early.

LC will now take advance signups over the phone: (650)758-2237.

As with other "by appointment" games in the SF Bay Area, sign-ups begin one week in advance.

Assuming that the stud jackpot isn't hit again before March 27, the jackpot will be doubled to $57200. Quad deuces or better beaten. 50% to losing hand, 20% to winning hand, remaining 30% to be split into table shares.

Thank you brother, yeah it looks like I am going to miss the 20000 first place last sunday tournament. It misses to many levels but the 101 to far.

The $350 buy-in tourney at Lucky Chances has 30-minute levels instead of 20-minute levels plus a 30-minute dinner break at around 5pm. Otherwise, the structure is the same as the $245 buy-in weekly Sunday tourney.

Hold'em jackpot at the Graton was over $300,000 as of Monday March 24.

- Quad deuces or better beaten by a better hand

- Both hole cards must play

- IMPORTANT: For a hand with quads to qualify (winning or losing), hole cards must be a pocket pair

Example:

A board of JJJTT with AJ and TT as hole cards would NOT qualify at the Graton because the hand with quad jacks was NOT made with a pocket pair

Question for fellow grinders, are there casinos in reno or tahoe where they offer compd rooms for poker time on the felt. I know they do it alot on east coast or vegas. Thx!!

Peppermill will give comped rooms for playing their biggest games, 20/40 limit or 5/10 NL.

Ok thx. Anynore?

Any card players here interested in carpoolin to different local bay area casinos ? We can split gas. If so message me. Thx!

Both Lucky Chances (in Colma) and the Oaks (in Emeryville) offer shuttle buses from BART (Colma and MacArthur respectively). No need for a car if you don't have one.

Graton in Rohnert Park offer lots of buses from different locations around the bay.

Lucky Chances has released its 2014 "Battle of the Bay" tournament schedule for the month of June.

3 changes from 2013:

- The $1080 buy-in no limit hold'em championship event with $100000 first place guarantee will have 2 starting flights (1A and 1B), on Saturday and Sunday at 9:30am. "Day 2" will be on Monday.

- The $600 buy-in "partners" no-limit hold'em event will move from Saturday afternoon to Friday morning.

- No more Omaha Hi-Lo tournament due to low attendance (only 55 players at the Gold Rush in November 2013.)

Hold'em jackpot at the Graton is over $320,000 as of Thursday April 3.

- Quad deuces or better beaten by a better hand

- Both hole cards must play

- IMPORTANT: For a hand with quads to qualify (winning or losing), hole cards must be a pocket pair

Example:

A board of JJJTT with AJ and TT as hole cards would NOT qualify for the jackpot at the Graton because the hand with quad jacks was NOT made with a pocket pair.

Graton's poker room tends to be packed to capacity (18 tables, 9-handed for cash games) on Friday and Saturday evenings. If you don't have a seat by 7pm, you won't get a seat until after the 9pm cash drawing.

Pepp comps rooms for all poker players if you play 6hrs a day I believe. Id also try calling Atlantis poker room and asking, I know they are proactive in trying to get poker players. I know I've seen a Reno/ Tahoe thread on here as well, I'd check that out.

Thx, im gonna look into it

Can someone tell me the status of PLO games in the Bay Area? Regularity, location, as well as stakes/buy ins/how big games play would be appreciated.
