Default Sacramento card rooms

Looks like I might be kicking around Sacramento with not much to do on Friday during the day. Anyone got any cardroom recommendations for good 3-6,4-8, 6-12 or baby no-limit?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you kindly. Strangely, i had googled. And used the search function before you ask, which did not have much info on Sacramento cardrroms specifically but showed a number of 2+2s live in and around Sacramento. I was hoping one or two of them might give some qualitative information about which of the room was nice, general quality of the games, whether any of them had trouble getting games going early in the day etc. Perhaps I should have been clearer, but that would have deprived you of the pleasure of deliberately misunderstanding what I was asking to make an oh so witty response.

I'm from Sacrametno and you can play 3/6 at Cache Creek. The best all around card room in Sacramento is The Lucky Derby. They spread 4/8,6/12 Limit and 1-2-2 No limit and some stud. They also have some juicy tournies.

Thank you very much, sciencebeagle. That's really helpful.

Would you say that Lucky derby is better than the Capitol Club by enough to make it worth my while driving out from the centre of Sacramento (where my girlfriend has an all day meeting)? And i see they claim to spread 4-8 Omaha/8. Do you or anyone else have any idea if this usually goes during the day and where it ranks on the spectrum from loose-fun to tight-nitty?

you're right, i'm an ass, my bad. I hear capital club is nice, and Lime Light sucks. No first hand experience in either except that Lime Light is where we hold our Fanatasy Football draft every year.

If you are downtown, you may as well play at Capital. They have 3-6, 4-8 and 9-18. Games are fairly loose.

There is also the Limelight Card Room on Alahambra downtown. They only have 5 tables spreading 3-6 and 4-8, games can get pretty good as it is also a bar.

Thanks to everyone who posted. I played for 4 hours at the Capitol Club's 3-6 in the end. Few thoughts:

* nice enough room. All the tables were completely full with large lists by about noon. Guess the poker boom is showing no signs of slowing down.

* Very nice cafe by the standards of most casinos.

* Completely pointless kill rule on the 3-6. Kill bumped it to 4-8, with no additional blind expected from the person that won the pot. You have to wonder whether it is worth the effort of keeping track of who won the last pot.

* Why on earth are the 3-6 games must move even when there are 3 of them going and 15 people on the waiting list? Hasn't the main game got enough protection at that point? Or maybe the floor staff feel under-employed if they can't constantly move people from table to table.

* Everyone was buzzing about a missed bad beat jackpot earlier in the week, where a guy mucked his pocket queens on an A - A - A - x - x board when shown quad aces at the end costing him $2,500 for the small bad beat jackpot. D'oh.

I'm behind on this thread but you didn't miss much re: the LD Omaha8 game.

The game runs during the day, usually breaks around 6 or 7 PM when the retirees who play in it knock off for the day. Not exactly nits, they have pretty loose starting hand standards, but I gave up trying to beat them. They've all known each other for twenty years or better, and just feed on whatever stray fish comes along.
