What is the best NL game in San Diego on a $2000 bankroll.

I live in San Diego. I like to play 2/3 NL at Oceans 11. Sometimes I get out to Sycuan. But I haven't played anywhere else.

I have a chance to play a lot of cards this weekend since my wife and kids are going on a YMCA camping trip without me.

So, my question is, if I have a $2000 bankroll for cards this weekend, where is the best (as in most beatable) NL game in San Diego?

Is it 2/3 NL at Oceans? Or is there something else?

Personally, I'd recommend the $5-$5 game at Pechanga. Good action, nice atmosphere. Or call ahead to Harrah's and check on them offering either the $3-$5 game or the $5-$5 no cap NL game. While their poker room is small, the game has some regulars that are pure calling stations.

Gotta love the weekend of freedom, huh?

Addendum: Given that you haven't been anywhere else, it's worth the drive to Temecula to at least see Pechanga. Nice, big, poker room, lots of monitors, and a great casino besides (with the round bar, the nightclub, etc). Good food options, people-watching is great (especially when the nightclub gets going), and guaranteed action. They'll definitely have several $1-$3 tables going ($100-$300 buy-in) if you want lower blinds, but generally you'll see a lot of tight/conservatives at those tables. I think the Harrah's game is softer, but they'll probably have only 1 table going, and it's in the middle of nowhere.

Thanks.

Pechanga sounds like it's worth checking out.

I appreciate the info.

I live in Temecula and can agree that if you've got $2000 to put into poker this weekend, the 1/3 game at Pechanga is definitely going to be your best option. Very, very often people will buy in for $100 (as it used to be 1/3 $100 max), and will stack off with top pair or similar.
