I recommend either Hustler or Normandie in Gardena. Nice small clubs. Good people, decent players (including your normal group of donks) and close too. If you are looking for bigger games or a bigger place it doesnt get much bigger than Commerce. They have over 220 poker tables... by far the largest west of the Mississippi.

And to answer the question... you will be looking for a $40 or $50 NL game. You ask someone for a 1/2 game they might look at you like your nuts.

Thanks for the advice. Obviously I'm new to poker.

for the most part the 1/2 NL ($40 or $50 buy in) usually is capped at $100 (save the Normandie which Dennisa pointed out is capped at $80)... at least thats my experience.

The higher buyins and caps are usually the yellow (red everywhere else it seems) games with caps at $200-$1000 or so.

When you say "by far the largest west of the Mississippi", do you mean that there is other casino as big as Commerce, east of Mississippi?

I believe there is no larger CARD ROOM in the U.S.
