Bay Area players Unite!

If you reside anywhere in the bay area, meaning you play at the Oaks in Emeryville, Lucky Chances In SF, Cal Grand in Concord, Casino San Pablo in El Cerrito, Bay 101 in San Jose, Garden City, Cache Creek or anywehre else I missed please post here. I'm trying to start a coalition here. Post your thoughts, experiences, juciest games, stories, we want it all here. It would be great if we could keep something like this up so we could possibly do home games or carpools to tourneys and such. I know theres a lot of poker players in the bay area but how many are 2+2ers?

i play at bay 101, lucky chances and oaks. i dont know if i need to be in a coalition, but if you could get them to lower the rake a little bit ill be in any coalition you want.

Tell me about it...what limits do you play? $4 rake at 15/30 seems standard but raking the same amount at 1/2 is absurd (oaks).

I'm currently in LA but I'll be coming up north to go to school in Davis in Sep, which means no more Commerce [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Where's the best place up there to play 40/80 - 100/200?

There is definitely no action above 30/60..most of the casinos here are low limit and some have a couple mid limit games. I know that there is a 12/24 at california grand, theres a 15/30 at oaks and on fridays they have 30/60. Hope this helps.
just wondering...You're going to UC davis undergrad or for grad school?

bay101 nearly always has a 40-80 game going and at night usually an 80-160, too. LC's has tried getting a 40 game going on Tuedays for a while, not sure if it's going or not still.

Cal Grand is closest, but the Sac rooms are probably closer from Davis. Limelight and Capital Club are the two that I know of. IIRC, I think that 15-30 is the biggest game they spread in Sac...i could be wrong though.
