San Diego Cardrooms Rated Part I

[Still the Spank E]

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.
