Bay Area players Unite!

[Benoit]

Hey so I was going to San Pablo tomorrow afternoon to catch the weekenders. It's my 3rd time there (5th time to a B&M poker room) and I still haven't figured out how much I should buy in with. I've always done 50 times the big bet online, but $300 in chips in person takes a whole lot of room I have quickly found out... Instead I've just bought in with $200, but does that sound too small (33.3 times the big bet)?

Also as you guys might know their 3/6 game has a $2 SB and $2 button in addition to the $3 BB. Weird, but I'm guessing they do that because of their $3 rake + $1 jackpot drop, to keep people from wanting to chop the pot preflop perhaps?

The Capitol Casino Club in Sacramento is a first class cardroom. 9/18 with a half kill is the highest limit though. JC Tran is from Sac and he plays there when his is in town. Welcome to the area.

The clarion call for Bay Area players goes out... but alas no response from one of our NorCal heroes... EastBay.

50 X?

Man I usally go 20 x and I still feel weird getting that extra stack. I would have to think that if everyone at the table is buying in for a rack or less you are going to look strange buying in for 2 or 3 racks

Then again I like to fly under the radar

Found out today that CSP takes the drop even without a flop, so chopping is out of the question.

The 6/12 uses $2 chips, 1 chip SB and 1 chip on the button, $4 drop. They just installed slot machines, so the place is a madhouse.

i live 5 blocks from chances, havnt been going to much lately due to a horrible down swing thats been tearing me apart, but ill usually play a tourny there or 1,1,2. although that game is about the same as playing 3-6 so sometimes very profitable and all the time very frustrating.

I just like having a lot of chips so I don't worry if I am $60 down because of some bad beats. I found when I have more, then I'm less likely to go on tilt, so I can just go back to playing the cards and not any different because I just lost 60 bucks.

Does that make any sence?

Been loving this game recently... Any 2+2ers playing in it that I missed?
