Default San Diego Cardrooms Rated Part I

Okay.

The Palomar Club has expanded and offers $30 FREE if you buy $50 in chips for the morning 9:00 o'clock 3/6 game(s). You have to play at least until 12noon, but, hey--$50 buys you $80. Need I say more?

Lucky Lady Casino ("The Friendliest Card Room in Town") offers free breakfast if you come for the 9:00 o'clock, excellent food (especially Vietnamese) at dirt cheap prices--PLUS, Terry, one of the managers, is an absolute DREAM to look at.

Village Club: If you like standing around for 90 minutes or more, the low limit tables in this Chula Vista B&M is ideal. You can call to put your name on the list for the bigger games, but, because they have a large territory to themselves, this cardroom lets would-be players stand around forever in hopes of getting a game before getting in their cars and motoring to El Cajon Blvd.

Ocean's Eleven: Too far from Downtown San Diego to be bothered with, unless you enjoy traffic. Otherwise, a fine room with cheap (if extremely mediocre) food, LOTS of tables of all sizes, and a bar (if you consider THAT a good idea).

More later.

Dear SpankE:

Ocean's 11 is NOT too far from Downtown SD to be bothered with. I cruise up there from downtown on Friday nights with some frequency. I go with a friend or two and enjoy the carpool lane which saves some time.

The room is large with a wide spread of games and of course, plenty of loose/passives who are anxious to give you their money for a chance at a huge pot on a longshot draw or even better, the jackpot! Your food rating is spot on from what I've tasted -- except the Cheesecake is exceptional.

Thanks for the info on the other rooms. How big are they?

Best Regards,
FishNChips

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?

I play at the O about once every six weeks, really just when I want a break from the internet.

I usually like Fridays when the 40/80 game is swinging.
