Shootings? South of Seattle? You don't say!

My friend was carjacked outside of Diamond Lil's. I play mostly north if at all possible.

That makes sense.
Nothing bad ever happens north of I-90.

And the norway 92! Super sad Saturday.

Pretty good analysis of rooms. I was at the muck also on Sat night. Left about 30 mins before shooting. Too many crazy people out there. Hope the victims recover . Of the big 3 the muck feels like it has the highest potential for dangerous stuff going down.

Agreed.

But regardless of where we play poker, we should always be careful.

Ever since I heard a story of a Commerce regular getting mugged almost 3 times in a short time, I've definately kept a look out. His story goes, two times in a row he gets mugged at his car for thousands. The third time he walks out with a cashiers check, screams at the top of his lungs, "I HAVE NO CASH," walks past the SAME MUGGERS to his car and leaves.

If I remember the story correctly, the muggers got caught and it turns out that they were sending spotters into the casino poker room to identify/describe the higher stakes players to the muggers outside. Then they waited. Which after a couple of days would be easy to know these players leave during this period of time.

I just want everyone to be careful.

Was at the muck for the first time in a while and they had a 5/5 $1k buy in game with first action being $10. Looked interesting but I had a nice 3/5 table so I didn't play. How long has this game been running at the muck?

Probably going to Tulalip this Sunday for a $225 BI, 10k stack, 30 min round tournament.

Let me know if anyone wants to carpool from the eastside.

from my experience so far, tulalip seems really soft, which is great. is it true you get 50% off food if you're playing poker? what's good to order? does their rewards card get you anything if you play poker?

Haven't been up there for a while but I don't ever remember getting 50% off food. Prices were pretty standard for a casino though.

$7.50 chk parm. Whatever.
Seattle poker rooms have terrible food all round.

Parker's used to be pretty good when I was playing on a regular basis (3 years ago). I went back. Food's not very good anymore; Pan-Asian stuff is the best of the worst.

Last time I was there, I was really tempted to get the Prime Rib as the dude next to me ordered it and it looked and smelled really good. I think I overheard $28 on the menu so $14 with the discount.

Can't go wrong with pork fried rice at these places. I mean it's just fried rice but it's always at least decent.

man actually i kinda want to go play at Club Hollywood right now just to get some...

How long's it been since I've seen you? Has to be at least 4 years. We should definitely play some poker soon.

The food at the Palace in Lakewood is excellent. And generally free, too.

yo let's do it. 4 years ago sounds about right -- i think it was when we helped Dids move out of Lake Forest Park. and then i had to run off to school right after that and couldn't stick around to hang. but things are a bit less crazy now that i'm out of my first couple of years of my program so i should definitely be able to play some cards

Diamond Lil's food best poker food! Good steaks.

For you guys that wanted a HORSE game what were you thinking? I was talking briefly to a poker room manager south of Seattle. He said he would have interest in spreading the game but it would take some work on his part but he would ideally want to do 25/50 game, no JP drop, buy time instead of rake. If any of you know more people in the Seattle area that would be interested PM me and I will give you the details. I am too broke atm to play that :x

Just wondering is 10/20 NLH ever run anywhere in puget sound area, ever? If so what are the players like.

Also how's the 5/10 @ Snoqualmie now compared to a year ago... what do most people buy in for.. $1K? The bad players, how much do they go through in a 5/10 session on the Monday?

Thanks

there is no 10/20 nlh that I'm aware of..

Just moved to Seattle for a job and looking for a fun home game. I was playing 1-2 NLHE at Foxwoods back on the east coast, so 1-2, 2-5, or 3-5 NLHE is what I'm interested in. I cant commit to any schedule (moved here on Wednesday), but im looking to play once a week or maybe once every other week.

Shoot my a PM if you have a home game looking for a player!

10/20 doesn't exist here. Never will with the gaming laws. Most people buy-in for 1-1.5k. Some buy-in for 2k. Heading up there now to play actually. Most "bad" players are good for 2k. You can easily tell who they are. I usually buy-in 1.2-1.5. It's more than enough in that game, because some people will try to take shots and buy in $600.

The $8 Salmon @Tulalip in either the salad or with the vegetables is pretty darn awesome at that price.

Thanks, just wondering, these days do ex-online players bother with that 5/10 game at Snoqualmie or..?

Don't have much choice, or you'll have to move out of the state.
