    Parker: Ouch!

    > .. do you personally update TJ for SoCal?

    I do, but I have lately been tied up with other things, and had not done so for several months. Fortunately, there are other locals who are TrackJack members. Also, SoCal is not as volatile as Vegas - conditions generally don't change a lot.

    I just took a look and posted a few updates, and it looks pretty accurate and up-to-date.

    No harm intended .. I don't even subscribe to TJ. However, if you were doing the updating personally I might consider it.

    That's all.

    Parker: San Diego Shuffle

    > Conditions in the San Diego Area? Anyone?

    Subscribe to TrackJack for continuously updated in-depth conditions. However, here is a quick summary:

    San Diego area casinos are in two general areas: The northern, inland part of the county, and the eastern part of the county. Per CA law, all casinos are on Indian reservations.

    Most common are 6D shoes and double deck games, all with H17 and DAS. Table minimums tend to be higher on the DD games.

    Northern casinos:

    Pala: The first casino on Hwy 76, east of I-15, large casino, usually crowded. Lots of CSM's, several 6D shoes w/LS & min starting at $10 (higher on weekends). 4 DD tables, but 3 are in the high limit room. The one on the main floor is usually $50 min.

    Pauma: Dumpy little joint with 8 deck shoes and a single $25 min DD game with D9-11 only and lousy pen. Don't waste your time.

    Harrah's Rincon: It's a Harrah's - 'nuff said. Lots of CSM's, SuperFun 21, 6:5 single deck, and a few 6D shoes and even fewer DD games ($25 min), with the usual Harrah's pen (read: poor). One good thing: get a players card and give them some action and you'll receive comp offers in the mail for their Las Vegas and Laughlin properties.

    Valley View: Another little locals joint with some decent DD games, usually $25 min, and a few 6D shoes. One pit, 7 BJ tables.

    Pechanga: This is techically in Riverside county, and definitely not worth the extra drive unless you like CSM's and 6 deck shoes with H17, no surrender, and 2 decks cut off. All this and crowded, too.

    East:

    Barona: San Diego's classiest casino. DD games w/LS, a few 6D games (more on weekends when they open an auxilliary pit), and the famous single deck game in the high limit room: H17, DAS, LS, $100 min. Sharp pit, but tolerant up to mid black if you're not too blatant and occasionally toke the dealers.

    Viejas/Sycuan: I lump these together because the conditions are about the same: 6D shoes w/no surrender and poor pen, a few DD games with $50 min and poor pen, and crowds.

    Golden Acorn: Waaay out in the boonies (60 mi east of San Diego), this little joint is also a full service truck stop, which is really all you need to know. They do have the only S17 6 deck shoes in the county, always with $5 min, sometimes even lower.

    Sounds like a real dive. How are the crowd conditions there? I'm guessing that there aren't many tables there. Anyone been there?

    Golden Acorn is very slow they have low limits and not much action. Anyone winning will really stand out. they have 20 tables but only use two they do have SD 6-5, DD CMS 8 decks, six deck shoes DAS. Staff is very inexeperienced good advantage joint. Great place to hone your skills.
