One of the better card rooms in the Bay Area but can only really compare to Lucky Chances as these are the only 2 rooms I play at. A lot cleaner and bigger parking lot. Chips are nicer but are more slippery than I prefer. Games are softer here due to the bigger player pool and people got money to mess around with. Wait times are terrible tho. Came at 1:30pm with 10 in front of me for 2/3/5 $800 cap game and still had to wait an hour. If you come on the weekends after 2-3pm forget about it. You will be waiting minimum 2 hours. You can put your name down and go get some food or go walk around a mall nearby and come back. They usually spread 8-10 tables and the wait is still dog @#$%. Most players here play like 1/2 players so don't let the $5 blind game fool you. You can play abc poker and win most of the time and if you're playing against a short stack just be prepared to stack off pre flop with a good hand. Play in position, value bet, and don't bluff the players that can't be bluffed. They will call you down with top pair no kicker. Changed tables 2 weeks ago and saw a guy punt off 7k in 30 mins. Saw a 5 way all in preflop today on another table and no one had a pocket pair. Insane action if you get a good table and potential to win a lot
