Most of my Seattle-area poker playing was either there or at the Muckleshoot.
I tried playing at the Hideaway for a while because the action was good but
the place was just too smoky and disgusting for me.

The Hideaway has long since closed, anyway.

Not surprising, considering (a) the surrounding area really wasn't fond
of the strip of sleazy businesses the Hideaway sat among, and (b) it seemed
(from my limited experience) like it was pretty poorly run..

That's a pretty accurate assessment, from what I've heard.

all casinos have a trailertrash vibe to me, no matter
how dressed up they are...so i think they should be filled
with harry-dean-stanton-on-oxygen-while-smoking lookalikes
awesome!

While some would argue that Freddy's Casino in Renton and Auburn are the best
show in town..I like the filthier dives like Cascade Bowl & Casino, Diamond
Lil's on Rainier Ave..or ...wait for it.....
Emerald Queen Casino

I used to play poker at the Muckleshoot fairly regularly and there was
another regular player there, who I'll just refer to as D. D. was older
and had lung problems that required him to use an oxygen tank that fed
a tube that went up his nose but he nevertheless insisted on playing
frequently in the smoky card room.
If you were sitting next to him, every once in a while you might notice
that he was looking a bit bluer than normal or was spacing out a bit,
at which point you'd tap him on the shoulder and say "D. Do you need to
check your tank?" He'd check the valve, find out that, sure enough, his
pressure was running a bit low, and would usually tip one of the chip
runners in the room $10 to run out to his van to get him a fresh tank.
It was pretty routine for D., but I found the whole process mildly
disturbing.

him to come home with whats left of their rent money

is running low at the poker table
