Cardrooms near Seattle airport - Page 2

In theory the card room at tulalip should be great, in practice it is my least favorite place to play in the area.
Not even close to a 40 mile ride.

This is a little bit off topic, but speaking of shady. I saw on the washington state gambling commision website that the hideaway in shoreline has applied for a gambling license again. Anyone know what is going on with that?

If it were me, I'd rent a car on priceline.com for $10 and drive up to Tulalip. Beautiful room and fewer cheats.

Lol?

Compact cars on priceline can be commonly had for $10. $15 for 'mid-size'.

I know the Seattle locals hate Tulalip for some reason. For me the location is pretty convienient since Dad lives on South Whidbey.

But compared to the hell that is called Foxwoods - that cardroom is heaven. Yummy sandwiches at the table and soft 10/20 tables. Things are all relative, I suppose.

Collaborators are a problem at many cardrooms. Fortunately most are bad poker players.

Ive talked to alot of people that dont like Tulalip for some reason. I prefer to play at the Drift on Inn but thats too far away from the airport.

The Tulalip room is the worst setup and worst run room I have played in (not a long list, but still...). The dealers are overworked and thus surly, the board is situated in such a way that it is physically impossible to get more than 2 people close enough to talk to the brush, and the room manager seems overwhelmed and unsure when a floor decision is needed.

Been awhile since I have been up there though- maybe it has changed?

The lol was more about 'fewer cheats'.

I've played in the following rooms and never had a problem with cheats:

Parkers
Lils
Golden Nugget
Silver dollar renton
Muck
Tulalip

Picking tulalip because of location can make sense, picking it because it is non-smoking can make sense, picking it because you like horrible floor staff can make sense (i guess), but picking it because of 'fewer cheats' is just nonsense.

I bow to your superior arrogance. And I agree to disagree.

Are you absolutely sure you've never encountered team-mates in these rooms? It's more prevalent that you're probably aware of - and not limited to these rooms. It's not an insurmountable challenge either, but it's one I personally don't care for.

I cant pull off 21. I can barely convince people that im 18. It sucks for things like that but ladies dig the baby face.

Goldies on Aurora (by the Drift On Inn) and Kenmore Lanes near Bothell have 18+ poker. Both are pretty far away from the airport.

There are tons of cardrooms in renton/tukwilla/seatac, but I think they are all 21+, they don't seem to card too much, but I'm 28 so I don't get asked too much anywhere.
