Also - looks like Pete’s 881’s cardroom is opening soon (according to their website)!!! (Looks their bar and kitchen are already open). Very awesome, I’m super stoked!!!! 🎇 - love it!!!
M8trix is open indoors with plexiglass and spreads 1-2-3 and 2-3-5. They seem to have fewer tables than bay101, which is still in the tent and doesn’t have 1-2-3 (which has rake that’s probably close to unbeatable anyway), but does have a fair amount of limit tables, and usually will get a deepstack/mandatory straddle 2/3/5 game. Bay101 seems to have better list wait times but also won’t allow you to table change (supposedly because of COVID), and it’s easy to get stuck at a bad table
Do you mean the rake at Bay 101 and/or Matrix, or do you mean 1-2-3 in general?
And thank you for the post/information.
M8trix and bay101 both drop $6 on the flop no matter what. That's beatable if your 2-3-5 game is decent but your game would have to be unusually good for that to be viable, i think
I’ve heard about this place (Ace and Vine) - it sounds awesome, I haven’t been yet, but would love to check it out. Do they get much no limit?
All they run is 2/3 NL most of the time. Usually 1 game on weekdays, and 2 games on Fri/Sat nights. Games are full of action, they allow straddles for up to half you stack from any position, and matching of the biggest stacks. They just have 2 tables, and are still on a probation period before they are allowed to go 24 hours, in about 2 more months I think. Beautiful restaurant with a full bar next to the cardroom.

Okay, but that’s not 1-2-3 . . . (just confused because I thought that’s what you initially posted about/what I asked about)

When is Omaha (and tourneys) coming back to the Oaks???
Not an official answer, but as case counts are continuing to go down, the state is scheduled to lift statewide mandates on June 15th. Individual counties will vary, and I do not know what Alameda County department of public health has in mind.
At 25% capacity, the Oaks is only keeping seven poker tables running, and they are prioritizing hold'em, I would guess because that's what keeps the lists shortest.

Gotcha, thank you.
Alameda County seems to take its sweet a** time so I’m not holding my breath.
- love it!!!
