I'm in the Bay Area. My home club, the Oaks in Emeryville, used to have a rocking good 30-60 LHE game, but it never came back after the lockdown. The 6-12 game , though, is firing on all cylinders Bay 101 apparently has an "occasional" 20-40 game, and an 80-160 that goes all the time.
It looks to me like the middle- to high-stakes games are trailing off, but the lowest stakes are thriving. What is missing are the levels that can feed into the bigger games: no 9-18, no 15-30, very little 20-40. NLHE, particularly the 2-5 level, has almost completely taken their place.
