The Players Club bills itself as the friendliest poker establishment in town. I have to agree with that. Being a first time player, I was surprised at the friendliness of the players at the table. I was playing a qualifier to their $1,500.00 WSOP buy in seat. I must say the owner was quite helpful in running the tournament.
My only issue was that there was no structure sheets available for players which to me is my bible when playing a tournament. I am hoping to speak with the owner about this.
The only other thing is parking is a bit of a challenge.
Overall, I was quite happy with the experience and will be making this my "home" club in the Portland area.

Nice laid back place to play a game of poker. The 11am weekly free rolls are only $5!!!! Just get there on time. They often pay out $500 + so there's great money to be made from such a small investment...

This is by far the best poker club in Portland.
Location? Check, 2 blocks from the 60th MAX station
Atmosphere? Check, Very laid back, everyone is friendly, no pressure.
Value? Can't get better. Only $5 door fee at 11 AM, only club still with punch cards
Staff? Chadd is a great guy, and the dealers are all very friendly and professional.
Game Selection? They got every type of Omaha, Big O becoming their staple.
I've played at all of the clubs in Portland. For a while, I played primarily at Big Stack Players Club, but since days work better for me than nights, I started playing here and never looked back. This poker club has a better/more friendly atmosphere than Big Stacks and that is saying something!
Unlike at Final Table, Aces, and Encore, the dealers and the owner (Chadd), actually care that you are there, and treat you like an actual person and not just a $10 dollar sign. (Speaking of, this is the only club where the door fee is NOT $10 if you come in at 11 AM).
The tournaments here all have great value. For $5 in the mornings at 11 AM, you can take down a $300-$400 1st place prize. The Player of the Month tournament which runs the 1st Sunday of every month is the best value tournament in all of Portland with $400 added and an awesome structure that rewards patience.
I'm sure I will play lots of poker at lots of other clubs/venues, but this will always be my favorite and my poker home.
