Bay Area(ish) Casinos

I'd recommend the 1/2 $300 max buy-in game at Artichoke Joes's anyway. AJ's is actually a litte more upscale compared to the other big casinos.

a friend of mine is there right now. he says there are 6 empty seats for the NL table. a fellow at his table played it last night and had this to say about it;

"almost everyone buys in for the absolute minimum, then pushes and gets busted by one of the big stacks. i played for 3 hours, saw two flops, and grossed 50$."

btw its not really a 1/2 game. everyone plays with 5$ chips basically and its 1-3-3, 5 to go. id call it a 3/5 game, personally.

why one would cap a 3/5 game at a 300$ buyin is mysterious but there it is.

regardless; AJ *is* a very nice place to play cards, the food is really quite good,there is tons of parking, and its easy to get to.
