I decided to visit the new room Game Cube in Jersey City, NJ this evening. The owner was nice, and gave me permission to discuss his room here at 2+2.
I drove up at 8:30, about 45 mins into the tournament. I knew in advance is a room that mainly spreads no limit games, but the email I got from the room advertised 4/8 "by popular demand", but I was told that the limit game never got off the ground the prior week, and he doesn't expect it to happen this week either. The club room was nice, with posters of the Sopranos on the wall (what do you expect, its New Jersey!), a TV "den" complete with leather couches and board games, a kitchen with waitress service, and smoking allowed in the hallway. Although I think they have a total of 6 tables, only two were being used for the tourney, and another was waiting for the cash games to start. I decided to pass on the 1/2 NL ($100 min, $500 max) or $2/5 NL tables that were expected for the evening, party is my good friend with all the limit tables I want!
On a side note, the neighborhood sucks, but I felt ok leaving my car outside since there was a service station next door (extra set of eyes).
Rating time:
Room: 6 - not bad for a home run operation
Management: 7 - young guys, they seemed with it. Very friendly, not at all like the NYC rooms.
Location: -4 - Let’s face it Jersey City sucks. It attracts low lives, and bottom feeders. But it is just 4 mins from the Holland Tunnel
Air: Clean enough inside, the hallway smells like an ashtray
Hot Women Quotient: 0
Game selection: 2. Poker is not just NL, all the time, every day.
Game texture: Unknown - I left before I could find out
If you want the address and/or contact info, PM me.
