Re: San Diego Cardrooms/Casinos
Oceans 11 spreads 2 1-3 nl 300 max games and 2 5-5 nl 1000 max games during the afternoon into the evening. Viejas spreads 2-3 1-3 300 max games and occasionally a 5-5 game. Sycuan usually gets a 5-10 1000 max game going by night.
good luck |

Re: San Diego Cardrooms/Casinos
The place I play a lot at is Chula Vista Card Club. They offer 8/16 LHE and O8b and a 5/10 NL game. The 5/10 NL is a joke, and it has 2k max buy in. I am moving to sanfran in a month...only reason iŽd broadcast this game to others.
edit: oh yeah...and it is a southern suburb in san diego. closer than all others mentioned to you. |

Re: San Diego Cardrooms/Casinos
I'll be visiting San Diego in November for a trade show and definitely will spending some time in a card room- I prefer 1/2 NLHE cash or small buyin tourneys $60 & under. I will be staying at the harbor and will have a rental car so driving an extra 1/2 hour is worth it if the casino/room is better than a closer place.
Would Oceans 11 be the place to go or would a local card room or Indian casino be better suited for me? TIA |

Re: San Diego Cardrooms/Casinos
For the games you request Sycuan is probably best for your tourney and 1/2. Oceans 11 offers 1/1NL (40 maxbuyin) and 2/2NL(100max) games. They also have tourneys in mounrings for the price you are looking for. Best place in San Diego County is Oceans 11 in terms of play and atmosphere.

Re: San Diego Cardrooms/Casinos
I played 2/2 at O11 last night, and it was one of the loosest games I've ever been in. At least 80% of the hands were raised PF, most w/re-raises. One sick hand about 10 minutes after I sat down and had grown my $100 to about $180 I got dealt pocket 9's. About $35 went in PF between 3 players. Flop is 2, 4, 5, 2 spades. Player 1 is the table maniac with about $400 behind checks. Player 2 bets $30, I call with my 9's, Player 1 calls. Turn is a red J. Check, $30 bet, I call, player 1 calls. River another 4. Player 1 checks, player 2 tanks for about 2-3 minutes & bets out $100. I figure my 9's are toast. Maybe someone was playing A3 or A4, or has a bigger pocket pair. I fold. Player 1 calls w/23... and WINS a HUGE pot.

Hey Brian, I'm going to be there in November for a conference as well. Which one are you attending?

I got carded once in the three years i played under age. hint: just walk around to the back where people smoke and go in the back doors. |

I like Viejas the best for two reasons (which seem to work for this guy also) : 1)1-2NL has a $100 max buyin. 2)1-2NL is the lowest NL game in Viejas. Oceans is cool, but they spread a 1-1 $40 game, so most of the newbie horrible players will be on those tables, whereas in Viejas, they are stuck playing 1-2 $100 max. |
