Re: Cardrooms near Seattle airport
 

It may seem like people are colluding or cheating in some cases, but the fact is most of these players play much to poorly to profit by cheating this way.

A lot of people at the local rooms here just like to build big pots pre-flop. It's very common for someone to limp in then cap it pre-flop if it comes back to him 3-bet (even with trash).

It's also common for a pre-flop cap then have the flop checked through and finally someone bets his Pocket 6s on the turn.

This actually makes for a very good game.

Goldies on Aurora (by the Drift On Inn) and Kenmore Lanes near Bothell have 18+ poker. Both are pretty far away from the airport.

There are tons of cardrooms in renton/tukwilla/seatac, but I think they are all 21+, they don't seem to card too much, but I'm 28 so I don't get asked too much anywhere.

I cant pull off 21. I can barely convince people that im 18. It sucks for things like that but ladies dig the baby face.

GoT got into mucks. He looks about 18. Though because he's asian, he'd less likely be carded in some places, imo. Asians tend to age well.

I loved the look on his face when I came up behind him and said in a deeper firm voice, "Excuse me, son..."

Point taken. I still assert that your average visitor to the Pacific northwest would have a perfectly pleasant smoke-free experience at Tulalip. Even though I don't have a sample size of 10k tourists to justify the statement.

Perhaps if you personally visited 10 thousand different cardrooms, you might realise that in the grand scheme of things people could do far far worse than Tulalip. Consider yourself fortunate that Seattle has so many different rooms to choose from. [img]/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img]

But we're talking about seattle and in the grand scheme of seattle cardrooms the suck-ass floor and so-so dealers at tulalip are going to ruin more nights than the floor or dealers will at any other cardroom in the area. If you have to have non-smoking though they are unfortunately the only real option in the seattle area. They still aren't close to the airport though, and i think someone here for a layover can have plenty of fun at any of the casino's that are 5-10 minutes away instead of driving 40 minutes up to tulalip.

40 minutes at midnight, maybe. Easily double that if it is anywhere near rush hour. Traffic getting through Everett is hellish.

Traffic getting through the convention center(downtown seattle), Lynnwood (around 44th st) AND Everett is hellish. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Even the weekends aren't safe now they put in the designer outlets.... You know, everyone in Everett HAS to have a discount LV handbag.

It takes about 40 minutes to get from the parking lot to the poker room at Tulalip.
