Tama is still going, although not nearly as strong - whereas before you could almost always count on having 2-3 4/8 HE, 2 1-5 stud and a 4/8 o/8 half-kill game going, in addition to higher HE games and occasionally a PL game, now you'll be lucky to even get a stud game - mostly 2/4 HE and 4/8 when they get it (although the 4/8 is full-kill).

PM has essentially driven out the card room at Lakeside (now Terrible's), though - although it always sucked, I've heard that now the 'poker area' has been changed to 2 random tables, and that usually they're both empty with a dealer sitting and waiting. It's very Robert Frost.
