Bay Area Poker

Hey all, long time reader, first time poster

I'll be in the bay area for a few weeks and I'm looking to play a little live poker. I'm not exactly flush on funds and have played 1/2 whenever I've played live. Not that beating 1/2 is any sort of accomplishment to brag about, but I've avgd about +300 each time over about 10 sessions. I've done some browsing and it seems that "spread limit" games are the area's answer to a ban on NL. Basically I'm looking to find the closest thing to 1/2 NL (in structure/practice, as well as fishiness) around the area (specifically Palo Alto). I tried using the search feature but was unable to dig up an answer for my exact question, so sorry in advance if I missed something. Thanks

there is a wiki someone will give or that you can find on google, but basically you're going to end up playing at lucky chances.. they have 1-2 or maybe 1-1-2 and its 200 cap bet. there is a super loose game in san pablo at the san pablo casino 100 max buy in 2-2-2 blinds 4 to enter. i imagine its more profitable than lucky chances is on avg.. although there will be more tables at lucky chances and it's a lot closer to you

Hmm, okay, thanks for the tip; what about Bay 101? I've visited there and the facility looks nice, but that's about all I know.
