[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Huh? Forgive my ignorance to the California games.... [/ QUOTE ] the non-poker games in California aren't banked by the house (the way it's done in Vegas). It's supposed to be "every man for himself" at the table, just like poker. But, most people don't roll in with $200K in their pocket. So, a group of people with some big $$$$ actually banks all bets at these tables. I believe Mike's mom Trish is one of the BIG bankers and Mike runs the biz. [/ QUOTE ] And this is legal? This stuff is riveting. Thanks for the background fellas. [/ QUOTE ] Perfectly legal. Especially since the house (the Bike) is NOT allowed to bank the bets themselves. California laws dictate that the casino is NOT allowed to have a vested financial interest in the game itself. They're only allowed to run the games and collect their fees.

Do they ever use anything higher than the white $100 chips (looking at Mike's stack...)

[ QUOTE ]
If you had 1-2 weeks time off of work to go play poker, would you go play at the Bike or head to Vegas? I'd be going alone and strictly to play "full-time" for 1 to 2 weeks. Thoughts? [/ QUOTE ] Why not play both LA and Vegas? Its not like its an extreme drive, just pick a good time to drive from LA to Vegas (or vice versa) - might want to avoid friday afternoon [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
