Anyone play in the Bay Area? I live near Bay 101 but I was wondering about other places to play. Are there any Indian Casinos worth driving to (less than an hour away)? Thanks~

The Oaks was the place I played the most when I lived there about 1.5 years ago. Lucky Chances (just south of SF and north of SF airport) is pretty nice. The Oaks was the most economical as far as the time rake. I mostly played 3/6 and 6/12 limit there. Back then no one was spreading mini NL games so they might be now. I visited back in Sept and played at Lucky Chances they had a 1-1-2 blind NL game (but to call it was $4, very strange to me). The time charge of $6 per half hour made the game tough to beat.

From what i read in another post, BAY 101 got rid of Posting on the Button. To me, Bay 101 seems to be the best place to play now. i went up to San pablo. WASTE OF TIME! Unless you're looking for a loose 6-12 or2-5 NL game stay in San Jose

That's my home casino. play there every weekend.Nice small NL tournaments (40 people, 25-20 buy in, $595 main price) on Saturday and Sunday's (be there early to get in!).pretty loose 6/12 games. 3/6 is "no-fold-em hold-em".Smokey environment though!
