seattle area card rooms?

Some Shoreline casinos

I think there are even more than this, but this should get you started. AFAIK, they are ALL on Aurora Ave (Hwy 99), so a quick cruise between Seattle and Edmonds on 99 should help ya spot most of them. If I ever get off my ass, I will do a little 'field research' and report back [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I may have to go back and check it out. A lot of my wife's friends like to bowl...maybe I can convince her to set up an outing, and I can duck into the cardroom while they roll the rock. Worth a try!

I haven't seen any games under 4/8 at the places I have been recently (Tulalip, Muckleshoot, Diamond Lil's), but some of the Shoreline mini-casinos may spread lower than that.

I have an ad for Kenmore Lanes (the bowling alley) on my fridge with a picture of a just-married couple rolling together. It says, "When it really matters... take her bowling." The girlfriend got it for me cause she knows what a bowler I am.

Sounds like a depressing place... I'll probably go sometime.

Not sure if you are interested in tournaments, but I keep a running list of local Seattle tournaments here:

Take your brass knuckles and a big can of Whoop-ass when you head over to the Hideaway. Tualip has a very nice cardroom, but the managment should be flogged. Comps are nice though, play a couple hours get a $10 comp not bad at all. The waitresses are to die for, or at least when I was there the low cut sparkly thingy was doing it to it my friend.

Lils is a smallish room but they pack in the games. 4-8 on at least 5 tables plenty of smoke plenty of fish. The Muck is about as good as it gets, 18 tables 4-8 to 50/100 and probably the toughest 10/20 you'll ever find. All food is 1/2 price at the table, but the smoke cloud is free.

Goldies is less than half a mile north from Hidaway on Aurora/Highway 99, and they spread 3-6. It is a MUCH nicer room than Hideway, much bigger, cleaner and less smoke. Players are ridiculously bad and last time I was there they comped food for poker players.

Thanks for that...another poker site for me to bookmark!

Anyone gonna be at Muckleshoot tomorrow night? I will probably be sitting at $4/$8 from 5pm or so. Might have to break off and meet my wife's friends for dinner around 7.

Hopefully, if i get over this damn cold, ill be there. I havent been able to play all week. I may get there about 7 or earlier.

Slavic will probably be growin roots in the 20-40 game.

I had it last week, and I am still coughing...it is a real bear! Hope ya feel better. Stop and say hi if you see a large goateed man with a shaved head (I will probably be wearing a blue Hawaiian shirt) at the baby limit tables...unless my stacks are embarrassingly low [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I assume the 10-20 is so tough because you're in it [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Another place that just opened a poker room is Parker's on Highway 99. It's about 10 blocks north of the aforementioned Goldie's. The Saturday morning NL tournament is cheap, but the blind raises make it more like lottery than poker. Somehow, after being open for only a few months, it seems to have quite a regular crowd whom I've found hospitable, entertaining, and willing to lose money. The dealers aren't great, but not much worse than any of the other local joints.

As for the big casinos, I recommend Tulalip 'cause it's a lot closer, easier to find, and the only no-smoking room in the state. The dealers have a propensity toward whining about the working conditions (they've gone through some staffing problems recently) but are otherwise competent. The games are better at the 'Shoot, but the Tulalip's aren't bad.

Good luck!
