Default Re: Please tell me about Commerce

15-30 is pretty much dead at Commerce. I don't think it has gone in months. Even over the past month, with the LA Poker Classic going on, and the 20-40 games having been moved to the same area as the 9-18 games, the 15 still never goes. I don't know why this is, as the same players play 9- 15- and 20-.

During slow periods there are usually three 9-18 games going, with nine or more during weekend evenings (probably 5-7 going on a typical weekday evening). There are usually more 20-40 games than 9-18.

20-40 and up get free food, but you can often get the floorman to comp you if you're playing 9-18 if you've been there a while.

There is a restaurant in the casino, but I've never eaten there. You can eat tableside. The food will sustain you through a marathon 24-hour session, but it's nothing to write home about. People rave about the chicken kabobs, but they don't thrill me. For $4.25 the (big) Baja Burrito is pretty good.

The Bike is about ten minutes away by car. They spread 6-12, 8-16, and 20-40. They advertise a 10-20 game, but I've never seen it going.

The 6- and 8- games at the Bike can be wild, but are often rock gardens, with two or three prop players.

"Anything else?" Prepare for massive Variance.
