no expierence, but out towards palm springs, cabazon exactly, Morongo is a fish pool. tons of rich tourist. its more a less a vacation spot for old people, golfers, and those who got the ghey.

Stick the clubs in LA if they are close. You can easily come up cash in the 200NL no prob and not have to worry about rake.

[/ QUOTE ] Ive played at The Morongo, I didnt like it cause the 1-3 NL game is $100 max buy in which isnt very fun. It was a fish pool though, unfortunately I got coolered but definitely easy games.

Stick the clubs in LA if they are close. - whats this? Also my old friend who moved to texas a month ago told me about a place right by me, sounded sort of like a underground type deal, so Ill have to check that out.

If you dont like the structure at Morongo, you will hate the structure in LA.

Bike,Commerce, HP 100NL 2/3 blinds. 200NL 3/5 blinds
Hustler 50-100NL 1/2 blinds, 100-300NL 2/5 blinds
HG 20nL 1/1, 40NL 1/2, 100 NL ???, 200NL ???

Good luck

I have found that the Indian casinos tend to have a bunch of nitty rules like requiring all in players to table their hands - in a cash game, and they do everything possible to try and void a BBJ. If you even turn your cards up after everyone is all in you will disqualify a BBJ. Now, I honestly haven't seen this happen. I was told this by dealers at 3 different rooms.

IMO, the only reason to go to an Indian room unless you live nearby is if you want to play blackjack or slots.

For 1/2 - 3/5 try The Bike, Commerce, or HP.

I don't understand all the nitiness about structure of LA's NL games.

The biggest profit will come from the mistakes of your opponents, not your skill. Los Angeles players are donkeys of first order. They suck really bad at poker.

Structure ought not be the primary concern if the players are horrible enough IMO. I'd rather play at a table full of drooling knuckle draggers than at a table full of weak-tights.

Gotta agree here. Rick Niebolo(sp?) has also made a few posts explaining why these structures are more beneficial to the games as a whole as well.

I think most would agree that, despite the structures, the games are much better than the weak-tight and loose-passive games found in most Vegas casinos, which have a "better" structure. With all the rebuying that goes on in L.A. though, there are usually quite a few large stacks at the table after a while, and usually the people with those stacks have no idea how to play deep.

Also, if you do head to Indian Casinos, you might wanna check out San Manuel too. Not quite as far a drive as Morongo.

I played the 3/5 NL at Morongo about a year ago and will say that it was the JUCIEST game I've ever played in. Ever.

Almost worth the drive.
