2+2ers in Seattle
 

Ok...so I am just curious...
How many of you guys are in the Seattle/Tacoma(or just the Puget Sound) area? And where do you guys normally play?
Any of you guys play at Goldies or Drift on Inn on Aurora? Red Dragon? Crazy Moose?
I've seen quite a few posts by people who play at Lil's, Muckleshoot and Tulalip...but I want to get an idea of how many of you play in the smaller B&M...cuz sometimes while sitting at a table I will notice someone who might be a Poker literati...who also probably posts here.

Re: 2+2ers in Seattle
 

I used to play at kenmore, silver dollars mill creek and renton, tulalip and the muck.

Now I'm almost exclusively playing a random game at lil's.

Re: 2+2ers in Seattle
 

I just moved up here to Mill Creek. When I play live it'll almost always be at Tulalip in large part because it's non-smoking.

Hey do you know Mr. Lee? He's like there almost all the time.

I've only been up there twice sine I moved up here ~a month ago. The only person I've met is some rich older guy who's apparently there all the time who I talked with about possible starting up a regular HU game.

Most of the higher players know of Mr Lee. I heard he was playing up north now.

As a side note, with GoT back in town that's going to make the local game a little tougher.

Welcome back.

One of my last trips to Vegas/LA, I ran into a "Mr Lee" 3 times, none of them the original.

Re: 2+2ers in Seattle
 

I used to play at Goldie's maybe 4 times a week during a four month stretch last year. I moved to Portland, but my fiancee is up there still and I pop my head in there every now and then. I love their staff, probably the #1 reason I stuck to them. If I were still up there regularly, though, I might be more inclined to hit the 6-12 at Hollywood, I've heard it's quite juicy...

Re: 2+2ers in Seattle
 

I would play at Hollywood to...but the same people that play at Drift and Parkers play there. I don't like the people who play at those rooms...at least the ones that have been playing there recently....everyones gone over to Red Dragon or Goldies.

I haven't been to the Red Dragon yet, but I tend to avoid the Parkers-Drift-Hollywood Triangle. Its completely irrational, but I'm like 1 for 15 at Parkers, and while Hollywood does have a juice 6/12 game, I can do better at 10/20 at Tulalip or the Muck AND with less stress from the crowd, who aren't all that much fun to spend an evening around.

Re: 2+2ers in Seattle
 

I'm not a 2+2 poster (1st post) I'm just a lurker...
I play almost exclusively at Wizards in Burien south of Seattle. (4-8)

Has anyone played the 10-20 at Midway on pac highway?

Re: 2+2ers in Seattle
 

I play at the Muck a few times a month, usually in the 20/40 game, although, I'm considering starting to play in the 30/60. I play in the 4/8 and 10/20 when waiting to get into the 20/40 game.

Ocasionally, I will play 20/40 or NL at Tulalip... but imo, the games *much* better at the Muck. However, GoT, please stay up at Tulalip. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: 2+2ers in Seattle
 

I live in shoreline and I'm a regular at club hollywood, parkers, goldies, tulalip and muckleshoot.

Not sure what the gripe is with hollywood. the 6/12 or 8/16 game is usually very good. especially right after the nightly NLHE tourney.

Re: 2+2ers in Seattle
 

I play occasionally at Tulalip up north and at Wizards down south.

Some old guy (Gary?) was complaining about this when i was there friday night. There were two open tables at the time...I don't play there enough to care if it expands or not, i just want Gary at my table all the time. He loves to make 'i'm bored' cold calls of my EP raises.

Howdy neighbor! I live in Lynnwood. I also play Tulalip. But when I just feel like going someplace close, I go to the Royal or Castle.

We'll have to get a Tulalip road trip together! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Haaaaaa

I laughed so hard at this I just sprayed milk all over the monitor. Jeez, who in their right mind has ever heard of $10 cheques. Nickles and Quarters only, and yes most of them can't declare a 3 bet, they just keep stacking nickles until they get there. I normally estimate what they are doing by looking at my watch.

15 seconds of stacking is just a call.
30 seconds is maybe a raise or a call with some thinking.
45 seconds they are definetly trying to find enough nickles to raise.
60 seconds they have fallen asleep waiting for the other three people in front of them to call.

Dude, you are forgetting the white chips. You have to love watching the dealers try to figure out the side pot when someone is all-in preflop for $37 in a raised pot.

Re: 2+2ers in Seattle
 

Hey, does anyone car to elaborate on their dislike for the Parkers/Hollywood/Drift triumvirate? I go to the Muck occasionally but being a Seattlite it is just so much easier to hit the Aurura card rooms. Over the past 6 weeks I have been having a great time taking money from drunken players at the Parkers 4-8, so I guess I have no reason to not really like them. Plus the odds are 50-50 that someone gets escorted out of the 8-16 game shortly after last call (hmmm, this might be why people don't want to play there).

Ya think? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Parkers I don't like the floor guy, and don't really like the dark, creepy parking lot (or the single guys who sit in idling cars next to the strip club... oi, its creepy). I've actually never been to the Drift, but I imagine its about the same. Hollywood I just don't find myself enjoying the people, and don't find the 6/12 to be terribly exciting. All three of them share the "bingo players anonymous" syndrome that I can't get a handle on, either [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Hmm... Maybe I should go there tonight..

Re: 2+2ers in Seattle
 

Hmm, I'm making my monthly trip to seattle (office) and was thinking of playing at parkers tomorrow night. Either that, omaha at lil's, or the tourney at the muck if I get out of work in time (I think it runs on tuesdays?)
