I have to say, this place is the classiest poker room in the Sacramento area. Excellent tables and chairs keep you comfortable while playing. Service is very good. The poker room is completely closed off from other games which is a big advantage over local casino based poker rooms. You really can focus on the game here without a lot of external smoke and noise.
The daily and evening tournaments have great structures for only $55 buy-in and a possible re-entry by the end of the 4th level. Starting with 15,000 chips and 20 minute blind levels gives a player a chance to play his style optimally more than Stone's competition does. Frequently the crowd gets large and the prize pool approaches and even exceeds $5000 which really makes it worth the money.
The dealers and staff are very good. They make sure all players are treated with respect and the game is directed in the most fair and professional manner.
Competition is stiff here and you need to be on top of your game. Even though there is a wide range of player types, it seems that every table will have a strong player or two.
The restaurant and bar really provides excellent faire. The menu has something for every taste and I am always satisfied with what I get. I've only been coming here for about 3 months, but I'm converted to a Stone's regular and glad to be one.
