San Diego Cardrooms Rated Part I

If you play higher than 4/8, or if you play NL, then you really can't beat Ocean's 11. Huge, clean card room with no slots or smoking. The food is pretty damn good as well and dishes cost 2$.

thanks c-rooni,
do you mean that oceans 11 is the only place that spreads mid stakes limit games? i like the room and games at O11, but i could do without the drive from downtown SD during rush hours. are there any other options for games around the 20-40 range, even if the room isn't quite as nice?

The other card rooms in San Diego that I have been to are in the Indian casinos: Viejas, Barona, and Sycuan.

Viejas usually has an 8/16 game going, but I am unaware of anything higher.

Oceans usually has a few 20/40 games going and more on the weekends. On the weekends they also run 40/80 which usually has two tables.

Yep there are no choices for 20/40 and above besides O11. Luckily its one of the best run cardrooms in the country IMO. Unluckily, the games are tougher than those in LA by a decent amount - which is why I drive up to LA usually once a week to play 20/40 and up. Also, how have I not met some of you guys yet?

Of course, if you play in the 20/40 or 40/80 the food is comped. Before you know it, you have saved 4$.

[Spaded]

That's 5% of a BB at 40/80! You limit types should be going gaga over that.

I don't disagree, though if you're coming from near the downtown S.D. area as I am, the drive can get you down unless you can go at the right times. Otherwise, yes--Ocean's IS outstanding. Cheap eats, too. And HUGE jackpots, for a cardroom ($5 drop though, huh?)

[Still the Spank E]

I'm not playing that big yet, but I've seen 8/16, 10/20, 20/40 (I believe) and (max $500 buy-in) no-limit. Call 'em to be sure, though.
