The following casinos were added at the suggestion of a LLHSAT Visitor who goes by "Jake"...
I would like to comment that Vejias is the biggest card room in SD with some of the best action and best players. Sycuan is full of bet on nothing and see you on the river type players, but there's a lot of sharks that swim in that poker room. College is the cleaner and nicer of the two card rooms down in SD that I've visited, but if you go to Palomar, (It's only got three table and usually only one game going) tell them that Jake sent you. |

The Village Club |
Location: 429 Broadway San Diego(a google search will find it as well)
Tel:(619)425-3333
Games: Hold'em: 3-6, 4-8, 6-12,8-16, 20-40, No Limit
Omaha(Hi/lo): 2-4?, 3-6, 8-16
All games are "kill" games with the exception of no limit, I can't
remember if the 20-40 goes to a kill pot or not.
Also Paigow and blackjack in the other room
Quality of the games:
Hold'em:
3-6,4-8
This is also known as the standard NO FOLD'EM. Everyone playing plays too many hands and chases to the river. DO NOT BLUFF in this game unless the board comes down completely ugly. Better yet DON'T BLUFF. Playing premium hands is difficult in that you will be raised quite often in order to "build the pot". This induces the weaker hands to come in and rapidly deplete your percentage of winning the pot. Play if you like. I would rather flip coins for the money. Great game for those with beginners luck.
6-12,8-16
This is a great game for those who have progressed past the lower low limit games. Better players, however there are those who will still chase
foolishly. Beware of slowplayers.
8-16
Haven't played in it yet.
Middle Limit and NO Limit
20-40
Bring your house payment, last three months bankroll and all the luck charms you can find. Depending on the time of day and the nature of the game, You can either win lots of dough or lose your ass. Early in the day, 2 am-ish, if you can tolerate drunks which are easily goaded out of their money due to the fact that most men get overly aggressive when they are drunk, you can reap the whirlwind of your life. There is generally over $20k on the table. Don't let this scare you though. All you need to play and win is $400. Play the way you have learned from reading all the necessary reading and you will be fine.
NO Limit:
I have not played in this game for quite sometime now. A bad experience with People chasing cards they shouldn't have even been calling with has led me to believe the game isn't very friendly to the decent or to the better
players. I was told that the game has gotten very big and pots around $3600 have been won, this being one of the smaller one's I should probabaly go back and see if its the same game.
Omaha:
3-6
Fun to play as most Omaha games are. Beginners game with the limits being low expect hands to be calling and catching way more than you would expect.
8-16
Bring a bankroll for the swings, you'll need it. This game is a fun yet
demanding. You had better know what your doing when you step into this ring.

The Lucky Lady |

Tel:(619)287-6690
Games: 3-6, 4-8, 8-16
3-6 and 4-8 are No Fold'em the same as at Village club listed above, only
difference is the players are capable of folding.
8-16
THIS IS A VERY TOUGH GAME. If you don't know what a tough game is then don't worry about playing in it until you find out and can play your ass off every time you play. This game is not for Recreational players if the plan to recreation for long. |
