Re: Casinos near Bremerton, WA
The Suquamish Clearwater Casino (just north up the peninsula from Bremerton) runs a 4/8 at it's small poker room. They also have tournaments as well. Haven't played it yet, but they had about 3 tables going the last time I was there.

Re: Casinos near Bremerton, WA
Bremerton Lanes Casino (collocated with a bowling alley) is less than 10 min from Puget Sound Naval Shipyard (where I'm guessing you're going, since you're in Virginia, so you're probably Navy?). BL spreads a 4/8 limit HE game with a half-kill.
Other local rooms are All Star Casino in Silverdale and Chips Casino in East Bremerton, both of which spread a 3/6 limit game. All of these are small rooms (3 or 4 tables). Action is typically loose, with aggression level based on the specific lineup of players. There are some pretty good players in the area (I like to think I'm one of them, but I'm sure others would disagree), but plenty of horrible players as well. Suquamish Clearwater Casino is about 25 mi or so north of Bremerton, and spreads a 4/8 game as well. It's a little bigger; 6 tables, most of which go unused except for tournaments. I don't play there much since BL began spreading 4/8, but it's usually a good game there too. The 4/8 games are the highest limits in the immediate area. If you want to play something higher, Muckleshoot Casino (Auburn WA) always has a 10/20 going, and often 20/40 or even 30/60 on weekends sometimes, while Diamond Lil's (Renton WA) spreads 8/16 and often 12/24. Both of these rooms are about an hour from Bremerton (on the other side of Puget Sound). One thing you WON'T find around here are NLHE ring games. Something about Gaming Commission licenses, I don't really know why. Only NLHE ring games in the state (that I know of) are at Tulalip Casino, well to the north of Seattle. Quite a hike from Bremerton. On the other hand, NLHE tournaments are pretty common here, as elsewhere. Each of the rooms I mentioned has a daily tournament around 11am or 12, with a weekly evening tournament (Tue-BL, Wed-Clearwater, Thur-All Star). The Wed evening 6-table Clearwater tournament ($25 buy-in, 2 $20 re-buys which you can get up front) is pretty much the highlight of the "poker week" here in Kitsap County. I've never seen stud spread here, and Omaha only rarely (at Muckleshoot). Hope that answers your questions! |

Re: Casinos near Bremerton, WA
Thanks for the excellent intel you both provided, I'm good to go. I'm a engineering contractor supporting the Navy, two trips to Puget Sound SY and a trip to Groton, CT in the next 6-7 weeks. It'll be nice to see Foxwoods again. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Bremerton Lanes J2o crowd....a wild ride
Spent an interesting evening playing in the local $4-8 w/half kill LH game. 6pm-9pm played like your typical $4-8 game anywhere, three decent players, four typical/bored players looking to mess with someones head (J2o), and at least two or three that had no clue/decipline. My favorite was the guy hanging around with FOUR overcards on the board to hit his two outer and beat pocket QQ on the river (Mr. I'm getting back to $160 or broke and go home). After 9pm got wild, stradles, stradles on kill pots, capping it blind and hitting a river flush, whew...very wild. Saw a guy hit runner-runner to win about $2800 with a Royal Flush jackpot which was fun. I started rough -9bb running into boats the first two hands involved with. Grade myself C+ for the evening, jet-lag and only online past six months had me "telling" a ton and losing track of pot odds/folding too much. Highly recommend the game, was a roller coaster of big swings and a hoot.

Re: Bremerton Lanes J2o crowd....a wild ride
Yep, sounds typical of the BL crowd on a good night. The J2o club; I know exactly who you're talking about. That game doesn't always explode into a super-loose straddle fest, but it does quite often. I've been out of town (and poker-less!) for about a month, looking forward to getting back to that game week after next!

Re: Bremerton Lanes J2o crowd....a wild ride
J2o!!! Me and a guy named Rich started that club. To get in, you have to raise with the hand pre-flop and take down the pot as a complete bluff (you show it). Don't try this if you are a known loose agressive type (requires pretty solid tight table image to pull it off). Of course, you don't attempt this every time (maybe once a night if I am up). It is a great action enticing move that stirs up the blood at the table when you do pull it off. We have at least 20 people who have pulled it off since. I agree. Best low limit THE game in town. The dealers are fantastic. Usually great action with a couple of maniacs and a handfull of calling stations ready to donate. See you guys over at the lanes [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Bremerton Lanes J2o crowd....a wild ride
I actually took the plunge last night with a bid for entry into the J2 club. UTG (a fairly decent player) raised preflop, I looked down at J2s and decided what the heck. I 3-bet it, and kept raising and betting it all the way. Nobody left when my river bet left uncalled. Unfortunately, I didn't qualify for membership because I had flopped a J and turned a deuce, so I was certainly betting the best hand on turn and river (no way villain(s) would have folded a higher two pair or better).
Obtw..it's the J2 club, not the J2o club. The consensus is that J2 is such a horrible hand that being suited doesn't help much, so J2s qualifies. I guess any perception I may have created here that I'm a halfway decent player is now completely blown.... |
