Default Under 21 Poker in the Bay Area

I've tried searching for this, but there doesn't seem to be any info on under 21 poker in the Bay Area, only LA.

Are there any 18+ poker rooms around the Bay Area?

How about all the big casinos around here, are there any that are notorious for not carding?

Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure Cache Creek is an indian joint and 18+.

I look young and get carded a lot at the 21+ cardrooms around here.

Get a fake ID. San Pablo and Oaks don't card very often, just avoid the guy with the cowboy hat at Oaks if you look young.

FWIW I'm often carded at Garden City and Bay 101. I'm occasionally carded at Artichoke Joe's. I've NEVER been carded at Lucky Chances and I've been there more than 25 times.

The carding has gotten a bit absurd of late, at least at Bay 101. I played there for 4 years and never got carded. However, the San Jose heat is surely on them, because now I get carded often, even though they know who I am.

The best one was when I was sitting back down at the table (80-160) after taking a leak, and the guy cards me. The boys at the table had a good time with that one. Ugh.

I have also stumbled into Garden City one time in the past year, and I got carded then too. I'm not nearly as young looking as I used to be, since I'm going a bit grey up top. Grad school will do that to you.

I haven't been to AJ's in awhile, so I can't comment. I haven't been carded at LC's, though. Ever.

yeah, definitely don't go to garden city...it's impossible to get past the security gaurd with nothing to do if you look under 50. I've been carded by him multiple times in the same night.

never been carded at b101, lc's, only been to AJs once and wasn't carded, never at oaks. was carded the only two times i went to cal grand.

It seems that the people at LC make an event out of carding me or just harassing me in general. A while back I was playing the 5-5 there, this was after playing a tournament, I was there for about 5 hours and wearing my hood all the time (I didn't shower that morning and looked horrible) and a floorman comes up and tells me that I have to take my hood off and makes a big scene out of it. After the people at the table heckle me a little security walks up and cards me. However, I haven't been carded in the last 2 or 3 trips that I've been there. I think it depends on which floor room manager is around at the time.

I've gotten carded at LC's almost every time I've played there.
