Really stupid letter to the editor... - Page 2

It's stupid not because of the message (although it's with which I don't agree), but because of the way it delivers the message. There's not really an argument put forth, it's just "gambling=bad, so don't promote it".

If you're looking for wisdom, stop reading letters to the editor. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I perked up at this. There's a cardroom in Portland? Maybe you're just talking about La Center...

Lemme know...

Do you guys play at La Center a lot? How are the games there?

I haven't played there, but both my brother and brother-in-law play there every now and then. They said the 2/4 is run-overable.

I'm not sure which cardroom they were in.

I play there a fair bit.

The games can be very good. They always have some sort of high hand jackpot and that attracts loose "jackpot" players. They also have a $10,000 bad beat jackpot.

The cardroom is decent at the Last Frontier and has 7 poker tables. Usually they spread 3/6, 4/8 and 10/20; and sometimes 6/12. The 3/6 and 4/8 games are "kill" games. The downsides to the place is the smoke and unless you're there at the right time there can be very long waits. "Chips" casino across the street from the Last Frontier has 3 tables spreading 3/6. It too is smoky, but seems to attract more newbies.

One other thing...last week I was in the Bay Area and played at Artichoke Joes. I thought the 6/12 game I played in there was a LOT softer than the typical 3/6 game at Lacenter.

Either of you guys play at Spirit Mountain?

That's where I usually end up, and on the weekends the games are usually unbelievably good. (At least, the 3/6 games I usually play in.)

Hey coldcash, I've been playing at Spirit Mountain for the last two months now, usually on Sundays. It's a nice card room with friendly staff. Last week I sat next to a guy who was visiting from Spokane and he made it sound like the action on Friday and Saturday night was pretty wild and loose. Any truth to this? I might have to try to make it down for a weekend night....

Nah, no cardrooms in Portland...well at least not legal ones...

It was indeed Lacenter I was referring to.

why the hell did annie duke move away from vegas then? especially to portland, no offense, i'm sure portlands a great city, but of all the cities in the united states she picks there, and they probably don't spread highest of high limits.
