Going to be in Downtown SF for the weekend of the 29th. Which card room is the most convenient via Public Transit. If there is a line from SFO, I might head to the card room first before heading downtown?

Two choices from the airport:

1) Take BART south to Millbrae (five minutes), transfer to Caltrain, north a single stop to San Bruno (five minutes), walk one block north to Artichoke Joe's

2) Take BART north to Colma (dunno time, check http://bart.gov), walk a quarter-mile or so to Lucky Chances.

I take Caltrain to AJ's all the time, but if you're up for it I don't think anyone would dispute that LC is a much nicer cardroom.

Late edit: Once you're in SF, BART south to Colma (for LC) or Caltrain south to San Bruno (for AJs).

I left stuck a grand at the 10/10/20. Not really any big hands or anything, mostly just got blinded off. Haven't been that card dead in a long time. I'm going to go back friday though.

I tried looking for a 'jewish' guy but had no luck. We need to figure out a good way to spot each other.

If you don't feel like walking, LC sends a shuttle to the Colma bart station every half hour (slightly after :00 and :30) to pick up playahs. They pick up right in front of the station in the back of the taxi pick-up area. However, their van will only fit 9 passengers at a time, but they will come back if they can't get everyone in one trip. White van with LC logo on the side.

I spent a couple days in LA and got a chance to play at hollywood park Casino... it seemed like they had a lot more limits than most places in the bay area. It was a good trip all in all. Some times it's fun to get away from the local cardrooms.

I just went to Cal grand casino saturday night and they have the most insane blind structure for 3/6. 2-2-3...so each round of hands is basically $9. Seems like a -EV game for a tight player over a long period of time...but good for a quick score.

Anyone going to the bay 101 midnight tourney tonight? I've never played spread limit before, but looking at the limits, it looks like it's virtually NL. Any pointers on how play adjusts with this v. NL? Thinking of going with a friend. How early should we be there and any newbie tips? (I really have little/no experience with B&M play, only played limit twice ever in a casino). :P

[KornGeek]

Sorry, but you already missed it. The midnight tournament is at 12:45 Thursday morning. They also have one at 12:45 Monday morning as well.

[Meatmaw]

shucks.

well for future reference, the correct move here is to rebuy immediately, is that right? I haven't played any rebuy tournies before.
