Poker in San Francisco

[Dacoops3]

I am heading to San Francisco on Thursday and was wondering what poker clubs are accessible via public transportation? I am not going to have a car. I am going to be staying at The Fairmont downtown.

Thanks in advance, everybody on 2+2 is always so helpful!

I always play at Lucky Chances in Colma- you can take the BART there and they have a shuttle that picks you up (although I just walk most of the time)...but I go there spec. for the Omaha action...The Oaks is the only room in the Bay Area that has NL and I hear it's a pretty good room also...not sure of the accesibility to the BART but it's prob not too far...also Bay101 is in San Jose but have no idea of how close it is.

Write ups of the 3 rooms:

LC is very easy to get to from downtown SF on BART. I think the shuttle runs every 30 minutes from the Colma station to LC. If you are impatient, it is a $7-8 cab ride. Walking from the station is definitely an option as already stated.

They have Spread Limit, $200 max bet, 1/1/2 blinds. This is the closest thing to low stakes NL. The 3/6 limit game is typical Cali.

Lucky Chances.

You can get to Casino San Pablo, Artichoke Joe's, Lucky Chances, The Palace, and the Oaks fairly easily on public transportation. Link to a short guide I wrote about low limit games around the area without a car about a year ago. I live in downtown SF and don't have a car, so if there are any logistics questions I'm sure I could answer them. What games are you looking to play?

According to PokerWiki, Garden City Casino's 20-40 limit game "has a few solid players but generally is a better game than the 20/40 at Bay 101." Does this still hold true? I'm gonna be in the SJ area and will probably be playing 20-40, and will end up at whichever has the better game.
