Spread limit in the Bay Area

[bema03]

I play 1/2 NL ($100 max buy-in) on the East Coast and want to get a sense for what spread limit game is a good equivalent. Suggestions?

Also, I'll be in the Bay Area in a couple weeks, staying in Burlingame, so if there are any good spread limit or no-limit games there, any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

4/8 or 5/10 depending on table type

Where do you play NL with $100 max on the East Coast?

Also, I'm not too sure about your question... spread limit is a completely different game. It's closer to limit, really. I've never seen spread limit other than 1-3, 2-5 or 2-6 so it doesn't even get that high as far as I know. Although, I know there's some games somewhere that are "spread limit" from 5-200 or something that are basically NL. I forget where those are.

I play at Foxwoods, and from what I've been reading, some Bay Area casinos have large spread limit games to combat laws against no-limit. I'm just curious which ones are best and within a 100-200 max buy-in.

Bay101 was spreading a $2-100 spread limit game with a strict $100 buy-in limit. Lucky Chances started spreading one and I guess Bay101 thought they had to compete.

I have no idea how it was playing.

Let's hope it fizzles.

Why do you want it to fizzle?

Dries up other games, burns out bad players quickly.

We probably have the 'largest spread' spread limit games routinely....spread here in washington. Given our $500 max bet at tribals depending on the buyin they are anywhere from 2-500 to 10-500 spread limit.

I don't think there's a true 1/2 game in the Bay Area. The lowest is $100 max buy-in, $200 max bet, 1-1-2 & 4-to-complete blinds.

Lucky Chances, Bay 101, and Garden City are probably your best bets given your location and stake preference.

1-1-2 (an additional small blind is posted on the button) $40 min $100 max buyin, $4-$200 spread limit at Lucky Chances is what most approximates what you're looking for. It is about a 15 minute drive from Burlingame in the town of Colma.
