For fun, I liked the Limelight on Alhambra between J and K. It's a decent bar with 4 tables in back, with 3/6 and 4/8. It's got nice atmosphere, good beer, and horrible players.

The biggest room in the city proper is Capital Casino on 16th downtown, with about 10 tables. They have higher limits (12/24?), and is more like a typical california card room in feel. For NL I've heard good things about the Lucky Derby in Citrus Heights, but I've never been there.

Any of these places in the Sacramento area (besides Jackson Rancheria) 18+? or are they all cardroom/bars?

Jackson is the only 18+ casino that I am aware of for several hours' drive.

Thanks for the info ya'll.. I've now got several places to play poker while I'm in town. I'll be there three nights in a couple of weeks.

Any good blues bars with live music I should check out?

The bingo hall is 18, the attached poker room is 21. They used to have a great game, but last time I was there (almost a year now) it was 2/4 100 max NLHE with a $5 drop taken pre-flop. They also had a $100 + 20 tourney that was short stacked and blinds went from 400-800 to 1k-2k in a single leap. There are better NL games and great deep stack tourneys in Oroville with great blind structures. As for Colusa - it is absolutely horrible. I have not been back becasue it was so bad. I hope they change it.

Capital plays up to 9/18. It's probably the nicest room in Sacramento, but nothing special. 3/6 and 4/8 games are full of awful players, but then again, it's 3/6 & 4/8.

Not the best of neighborhoods, but be careful and you'll be OK.

Nothing wrong with the neighborhood. In addition to the listed rooms, there is also Phoenix Casino located in Citrus Heights. They have 4-8, NL, Omaha, and 10-20 going most nights.

Capitol runs a 12-24 on Fri-Sat also.
