Review:

This is probably the most professional card room in the city.  Which is both good and bad.  People that play here are pretty serious.  And there is a large population of people "who pretend to make a living at poker" (as I once heard it put).

A bit more laid back.  Mainly a group of people there for fun, especially at the 3/6 tables, but not so much the no limit.

Review:

The most laid back.  The players and the dealers there are friendly and relaxed.  But don't let that fool you.  The Omaha players, play a lot and know what they are doing.  So if you suck out with a crazy hand, you likely won't hear any chastising.  They'll just laugh with you and take your money the next hand.
