bad experience at oceanview cardroom in santa cruz california

[J.A.Sucker]

Unfortunately, the things you saw happen everywhere, including the reaction that you get from the dealers looking at the cards. This is all pretty minor stuff, and it's good that you are keeping an eye out for things. Just make sure that the cards are OK as you are doing and you'll be fine. I think I know the guy who at least partially runs that place and he's a good guy in my book, and I'm sure things are on the up-and-up. Remember, they can't even get enough great dealers at Bay 101 or Commerce, so how are the best dealers gonna end up working at a joint in Santa Cruz? That's just the price of doing business.

Oh, and BTW, this game is very beatable, and would be fantastic if there were no cap to the buyin. I think I'm going to go out there one day and check it out, just for kicks someday soon.
