Default i am SO disillusioned with LA poker :-(

I'm on my third day of poker in La-La-land. Day one I didn't even play poker, I went swing dancing and it was fun. :-)


Day two I went to hustler. I liked the place. Good, cheep food and a sushi bar that was pretty good too. Game was pleasant and loose. Dealers competent and friendly. Not one floor call so no comment there. But when I tried to live straddle... DENIED. No live straddles! I'm bummed to say the least.


So the next day I'm at commerce. Once again, loose game, friendly people, good dealers, no floor calls, good cheep food. But when I tried to live straddle - DENIED!!! No live straddles at commerce ?!?!!


I am SO DISILLUSIONED.

A only complaint is over not allowing straddles?

Seems like nothing major.

Nothing major? You need a good nut-kicking! It's every player's born right to straddle!

lol, just a heads up, no need to try hawaiian gardens either, no straddle allowed there too!

its kinda weird that in these action wild LA games, they dont allow straddling.

If you play pot limit straddles are allowed in pot limit games.

Hustler allow straddles in games with two blinds.

Just to put the old people on tilt, I have straddled the 3/6 O8 game at the bike.
