Default Re: Jackson Rancheria, CA - Trip Report

I normally play at Lucky Chances but I've been watching my parent's house in Placerville which offers a bunch of crappy casinos at long distances. I tried this place out about a week ago and played the 1/2 NL.

I completely agree with how poorly run the place was. At one point there was a woman who wanted to switch from 1/2 to 3/6 and there was a 3/6 seat available, but the woman clearly wasn't about to move and so the floorman said something like "You need to move now" and she said she wanted to stay, so the floor just backed down and let her stay. This ended up causing extra hour of waiting to get in the game. So someone finally leaves the game and then they call the second guy on the list, since they crossed me off to take the 1/2 seat when the woman "moved". I caused a big fuss and finally they let me take the seat, after talking to two different floors and one dealer about it since two of them clearly didn't understand what I was saying. The visit was intensly frustrating for me.

The players were so terrible and slow moving that the game was awful. I love bad players, but when the dealer has to remind them the action is on them and why their hand lost, every single hand, it gets kind of old. At the entire table there was only one player other than myself who saw less than 50% of the flops. The standard raise was a minimum one. I ended up down 100 dollars for 8 hours of time. I got my aces cracked, all in pre-flop. I had A4s on the button and flopped topped two and just moved all-in to a checked pot for about 80 bucks and got called by a gutshot and lost that. So, potentially there is tons of money to be made there if you are willing to wait it out. I would just advise going somewhere else entirely though if possible.
