Re: Poker in Seattle?
[ QUOTE ]
I guess the bottem line is that there are many "mini casinos" up and down I5 and Hwy 99. Most of the players are pretty bad and it is difficult to find stakes higher than 6/12. They are mostly 3/6, 4/8 & 6/12. [/ QUOTE ] Parker's in shoreline pretty much always has 8/16 and 12/24 (sometimes long waits for the 12 game). Diamond Lil's in renton has 8/16 and 20/40 consistently (no idea about waits). |

Re: Poker in Seattle?
Both Parkers and Diamond Lil's have hideous waits for the bigger games--more than 3 hours, typically.

Re: Poker in Seattle?
I'm telling you guys, the 2-40 spread at Hollywood/Drift is a lot of fun, and still full of "action" [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I think it's $300 (or $400, i can't remember) every 2.5 hours. The extra drop sucks, but I've been a fan of high hand payouts ever since the hideaway days. |

Re: Poker in Seattle?
I played in Seattle recently, and they have the highest "effective" rake of anywhere I've played. $5 per hand (most hands) including a $2 jackpot rake. This is even the case in their bigger games, where in most locations, jackpots and high hands aren't played.
Higher stakes players don't usually want high hands or jackpots, but Seattle seems to be the exception or it's just a case of the house making it mandatory. What's the point of a $300 high hand every two hours in a 20-40 game? Every hand in that game is a "high hand." |
