Hows the action at these Los Angeles Casinos?

[ThaHero]

Yeah I'm a little confused why OP is only stuck with these 4 casinos? Commerce isn't far from the Bike, Hustler is right down the street from Normandie. There's plenty of casinos in the area than just these 4.

I've mostly played at HG in the 3/5 300nl game, but also occasionally at HP and Commerce. The HP 200nl game is probably the softest out of those 3.

id skip HP and normandie,

hit the HG, Bike and commerce. if the bike has tourneys running the action is by far the best there and will take lots of action from commerce.

HG is retarded and the 8/16 - 1/2kill game is insanely retarded. last week my friend won 24 bets with Ace Rag when lady shows A9 busted flush draw (top pair) and mucks.

LOL. This happened to me a few weeks ago in that game. I had been playing pretty damm LAGGY, but no one was looking me up. So a bad tight(by so cal standards which means very loose) player raises from MP and I 3bet on the button with A10. Flop comes down Q105r. He checks, I bet, he cr, I 3town, he 4 bets, I 5 bet for a free turn, he curses and mucks KK face up and crys about how lucky I am to hit my set of queens. LOL.

First, the action in all LA rooms is stupid loose. The 3/5 200 max buy-in NL game will average 4+ to a flop. No flush or open-ended straight draw is ever folded. Ever. As for your choices (given the rooms your listed)...

Bicycle - spreads 3/5 200 min-max NL; expect 4-5 tables of it mid-afternoon, more on nights and weekends.

Hollywood Park - 3/5 200 min-max NL; 3 tables mid-afternoon

Normandie - didn't spread 200 max last time I checked. Anyone know different?

Hawaiian Gardens - spreads 3/5 300 min-max; figure 4 tables or so on any given night; probably 2-3 mid-afternoon

So that narrows it to the Bike or Hollywood Park. The action at the Bike can be somewhat nittier than HP but there's more tables and the food's better. If I had to choose, I'd say play the Bike.

Thanks for all this great info Edmond. Do you (or others) have info on higher limits - 5/5NL, 5/10NL and 10/20NL? Also, what about Commerce?

Is there a site similar to http://www.allvegaspoker.com with info on LA poker rooms.

Thinking of flying there late Sep/early Oct.

Thanks in advance for your help.

He didn't even hesitate calling $1200 to win $1680 on a non-nut flush draw with 1 card to come.

[/ QUOTE ]

No, he had a combo draw of a pair plus a flush draw. The non-nut nature of the draw is only marginally relevant since you're unlikely to have a better flush draw given the action. If he put you on exactly KK or AA (reasonable hands within your range, but too narrow a range for you) then he's behind about 2:1.

It's not a good call even against KK or AA, but it's bad only because of the odds. (Most people don't make the right intuitive decision with a combo draw getting only 7:3 or whatever it is.) In reality, of course, he should consider QQ, AQ, even KQ in your range too.

If that's the worst decision you see an opponent make, then you're in an unreasonably tough B&M game. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Sorry, I should have said 4:3. At any rate, obviously nowhere near the 2:1 he'd need if he actually knew you had AA.

This is awesome!

Mods, can we add this to a sticky? Or make a new one?
