It's not the location that bothers me, it's not the game selection, or even the value of the tournaments. The reason Aces sucks is because the staff/players are awful.
It has been a while, but my experience was very positive and I will visit again. The staff was always very helpful and accomodating.
I've been to a few poker rooms in town and unlike most this one is professional. The staff is very helpful, the dealers are engaged and helpful if you kind of zone out a bit after playing a few hours! There is a bar downstairs to drown your sorrows if you have a bad afternoon. The only thing I'd like to see is more onsite parking.
THIS IS THE UNFRIENDLIEST CLUB IN PORTLAND. When you walk in, you can tell nobody gives a crap you're there. When you go to the counter, there's no smiles or even a hello, it's strait "Give me your cash, let's go, let's go!"
Don't know what all the negative reviews are about. I've been playing there once a week since I moved to Portland in July. Friendly staff, professional dealers and a well-run room. Sure you'll find a jerk or two playing but show me a room where that isn't the case. Good news is, jerks are usually fish and it's easy to get your revenge on them by taking their cash.
I have played at all the poker clubs, and Aces is by far the weakest club.
If poker for you is a grind with no humor or fun whatsoever, and you just want to sit with your headphones on and glare at other players who are glaring back at you, sure, this club will work for you. But you certainly won't find me there, I'll be at The Players Club or Big Stacks Players Club where the staff/owners actually acknowledge you as human beings instead of $10 dollar signs.
I played my first live game here and most everyone was very nice and social was a nice environment can't wait to go back
The vibe of the club has probably gotten even worst since they have introduced alcohol.
So you sit down at their noon tournament (which has a pretty good structure, being deep stack and all) and you look around. Nobody is having fun. The dealers are zombies. It's as if all the fun of the game has been sucked out. This is even truer in the shootouts where people can become stuck hundreds of dollars quite quickly.
