Thunder Valley is known as one of the premier venues on the World Series of Poker Circuit, consistently drawing huge and star-studded fields eager for their chance at WSOP glory and this week has been no different thus far. I'm no TV shill, but writing this review has reminded me why it's my favorite place to play and that I can't say enough good things about it.Lincoln, California (January 18, 2023) What’s been an amazing start to the WSOP Circuit stop at Thunder Valley full of huge fields, smashed guarantees, and marquee ring winners reaches its crescendo this weekend with the start of the $1,700 Main Event on Friday. Also the location, although not right in most people's backyard, is still relatively central to the Sacramento area which allows for an even more diverse and constantly growing player base. No matter what their players need, whether it be extra cash or tournament tables, extra dealers from the pits, etc., they can accommodate. I really appreciate the fact that TV's poker room is so versatile and accommodating as well. Great mix of recreational and regular players, lots of well-trained, friendly, and professional dealers, solid management, reasonable wait times for cash game seats, well run tournaments with very good formats and experienced/knowledgeable TD(s) (not sure if they have more than one tournament director, but I know the main one is well known, respected, and generally considered to be a great TD), good comps and great promos all year round, good competition at every limit, generally friendly atmosphere at the tables, clean room filled with flat-screens playing whatever sports event(s) the general majority is interested in watching.

Been playing here for 5+ years and I feel this has consistently been one of the leaders (And as of recently THE undisputed leader) of the pack as far as the local poker community is concerned.
