Hello everyone, im new to twoplustwo, but wanted to ask if you guys knew of

any casinos that the minimum age is 18, and is not to far from san francisco?

Note: im willing to drive like 1-2 hours away if necessary.

Please don't. I know it seems like a quick and easy way to make money, but it's not. You have less chance of being a TV superstar as someone in a community college play has of winning a Tony Award. Maybe you're some hot stud online or something, but this job is a goddman grind. It's not worth it.

Spend your youth and money going out and doing fun things with people your own age, not holed up in a smoke-filled casino with middle aged degenerates. You will have plenty of time to visit casinos while you're still young, I guarantee. But your brain right now is a sponge. Fill it with better things.

At the very least it just doesn't make financial sense, and this is the age where your financial habits will shape the rest of your life. If it's just entertainment expense... well, there's a lot more and cheaper ways to get entertainment. None of the young adults I see losing at blackjack at $5/hand seem to be happy with themselves at the end of it, regardless of how much fun they're having at the start. Think how many apps that buys. How many visits to Yosemite. How many dinners of high quality sushi.

There are so many better things to do in San Francisco as a bright young person than go off to gamble.

I know you won't listen. Nobody ever does. Good luck.

No. There are not.

Get in there, and mix it up!

You could be the next superstar!

pfapfap's post is a little bitter and angry but it's worth re-reading.

Unless you're already set for life, you have no business gambling recreationally at this point in your life. Finish school strong, become financially independent, and then gamble if you want.

And if you're already set for life, please go celebrate your 21st birthday by getting drunk and playing the largest poker game you can find.

I think they're all pretty old, at least 30-40years old.


And if you wanna have a little fun go for it, keep it in moderation.

Bay101 is only 20 years old (unless you consider the age of the license going back to Sutter's in Alviso).

Lucky Chances is sweet 16.

Thanks for all the replies, just wanna make it clear that i plan on getting my mba in business and management so i plan on finishing school trust me lol , just wanted to know if there were any to have a little fun on the side. But thanks guys.

Meetup.com home games

Rather than write an essay I'll answer your question:

No

Let's see: member of the leading poker forum since 2006, more than 22,000 posts on said site, giving advice to someone not to play poker. Weird.

LOL, if I didn't personally know you, I would think yer an old man.

Not that I necessarily disagree.

M8trix is only a year or two old!

he has a lot of experience according to his profile

Biography
I have been playing poker for about 5 years but serious poker for about a year , im 18 years old

rub rub it's good you are putting school as your top priority. dont ever let anyone get in the way of something you are striving for, and if you do go busto, it's a lot easier to go busto at 18 than at 28.

M8trix is the old Garden City with a facelift, tummy tuck, and boob job but the soul surgically removed.

Thanks man , well i found one near yuba city its called GOLD COUNTRY CASINO. Any of you heared of it? I just called them and they accept 18 years old, and i got fam in yuba city so looks like ill check it out .

Thanks for all the replies everyone.

Gold country will have one table of 1/2 max. As far as 1/2 goes, it's not juicy, little action, the fish are decently educated, and is mainly populated by old nits and young internet tags that aren't 21 yet. Definitely not worth your time. meetup.com like PA said is your best bet. If you want I can connect you with stanford/berkeley/san jose home games. Holdem/PLO/dealers choice 50nl-200nl deep (100-400bb buyin normally).

Otherwise just play bovada nomesayin

well thats disappointing to here but thanks for the feedback, and i dont think im comfortable with going to home games not yet anyway, but thanks.

Nothing depresses me more than seeing some bright young kid get the poker bug, go on a bit of a heater, and then waste away his hours and his youth on a fruitless pursuit. They never last. A fresh group of young faces every year, and then a few years later they fade away broken and dejected.

An 18 year old does not yet have the mental capacity to make these kinds of decisions. Your brain isn't even done growing until you're 25. Fill it with anything other than poker. It's a dead end for a young person. Cherish this time while you have it. Poker will be there later. Your youth won't.

I understand where youre coming from, but poker isnt my life , its a hobby and a dream. I dont spend all of my time playing poker, i have a girlfriend,family, friends, and school that takes most of my time. Poker is just a stress reliver for me and its a passion of mine, but anyways thank you for looking out for me i appreciate it.

Not even close. It's a different casino. It doesn't matter if some of the owners are the same, his question is "casinos", not casino owners or license holders.
