Poker Room Review: Sunnybrook in Sterling Heights
Sunnybrook Golf & Bowl
7191 E. Seventeen Mile Rd
Sterling Heights, MI 48313
7 Days a week
24 of 25 Chips
Jim, Tony & the Sunnybrook crew were hosting Kelly Middle
School on the Monday I went out to visit. This is a huge location
that regularly hosts a lot of poker players. Around 100
players plus alternates were in the tournament on Monday
night. Upon arrival at 6PM, two cash tables were full. When
the tournament started at 7PM, seven cash tables were full of
players.
#1 Games
In addition to a different format tournament every night of the
week, Sunnybrook offers $1/$2, $2/$5, $5/$10 round-by-round
fixed limit Texas Hold’em / Omaha, and both pot and fixed limit
Omaha. Sit-n-goes are available upon request.
5 of 5 chips
#2 Tournaments
Sunnybrook offers a different tournament every night of the
week—from free rolls, to deep-stack tournaments, poker
league nights, shoot-outs, and knock-outs. The blind structures
differ by night, as well as the strategy for each tourney.
Some of the blind structures can be really aggressive—be sure
you know what to expect before you take your seat. The rules
are standard, and enforced evenly across the board. Tables
are quickly balanced. For the variety of tournaments, great rule
enforcement, dealers at every tournament table, quick & fair
table balancing.
5 of 5 chips
#3 Atmosphere
Sunnybrook has a huge banquet room for poker. There are
twelve tables set up with lots of extra room for players to move
chairs in and out. The walls have wood wainscoting, beautiful
overhead light fixtures and a fireplace add to the atmosphere
here. Blinds and times are projected and easily viewable for
tournament players. Jim, the poker room manager, informed
me that Sunnybrook was building a dedicated poker room for
them this fall—this atmosphere rating should shoot through
the ceiling when the new room is complete! Down one chip
due to some dim lighting and awkward entrances.
4 of 5 chips
#4 Equipment
Professional, casino quality chips are available for both cash
and tournament play. The cash tables all have chip-racks,
no chip racks on the tournament tables. Drink scooters are
available for beverages and snacks, keeping the table tops
clear of cups and clutter.
5 of 5 chips
#5 Staff
The staff at Sunnybrook is great! The dealers are quick,
accurate and easy to spot in white shirts and black pants.
When there is a dispute, the room manager is on the spot
quickly with a clear and consistent ruling. The charity workers
have a “drive through” window to sell cash chips and
tables set up for tournament sign-up.

This is a great, busy, professionally run room—highly recommended
with 24 of 25 chips!!

What the ###k happened?!?!?! I can't get to UMichiganPoker.com
It's true - the web site was down for a few hours. My tried and true Linksys Router went belly up. The extended wireless rabbit ears drooped and the happy little green lights were blinking, but no one was home.
Now, there's a brand new, faster, sleeker router with working harder than ever to keep the web site and all my other stuff up and running.
Sorry for any inconvenience! I just can't make the hardware schedule their breakdowns when it's convenient for me. hmph!
