BEST NL low-limt cash game structure in southern cali?

lemonPeel · #1 02-10-2006, 07:20 PM

The commerce has a 100 buyin with 2/3 blinds, same with Hawaiian gardens, the bike and pechanga. Does anyone know about the hustler, normandy club structures or even hollywood park or pala? I'd like to try something in the 100-200 buyin range that allows for a deeper stack of play, but don't want to drive to vegas to do this. thanks.

Viejas casino in San Diego has a 1-3 NL 300 max buyin game. Every now and again they will have a 2-5 NL 1000 max.

Hustler has a 2/5 $100-$300 buy in

they also have a 5/10NL with a 1K cap that runs once every [censored] year

I'm not sure about HP - give them a call.

Well thats really close to Hawaiian Gardens 300 buy in game which has 3/5 blinds. NOt as deep stacked, but still pretty decent for southern calis standards i suppose.

your [censored] out of luck for LA standards, you want deep stacks, go play uncapped 2/5NL @ the Wynn or the 1/3...west coast NL games are [censored] b/c of this cap...I really dislike buying in for the max of 40X BB, what a waste.

Yea, it's just I hate going to vegas cuz the drive is sooo long. And it's not as fun in vegas cuz I usually go solo. My uncle and some of my poker buddies here don't seem to care or even understand that the capped buy-ins means less play, they just wanna see some flops and go all in heh.

i agree with you lemon, but I don't mind driving to vegas on fridays once or twice a month to get into a good NL game.

If you like to buy deep to maximize your edge, why don't you try like a limit Omaha h/l game or a 15/30 game? Plenty of those in LA

I play the 6/12 omaha h/l game at hawaiian gardens all the time ( its the highest they have). And limit holdem isn't very fun for me, so I don't play it.

I also forgot to mention there are deeper games at Pechanga...I know for a fact they have a 2/5 game where action gets big and the buy in is ususally raised to 500 or even 1K, but that's pretty SOUTH of LA.

Do they really? I'm actually closer to pechanga than I am the la card rooms, but whenever I go there they have like three 100 NL games and maybe one 300 buyin one on a friday night. The majority of the games at pechanga seem to be limit holdem with stuff like 2/4, 3/6, 4/8 taking up the majority of the tables.

I actually like pechangas room alot, the chips and everything are really nice, just sometimes they don't have much game selection whenever I'm there.
