Anyone know who I can reach out to?
Maybe this is different now from last time I was there, but I was there less than a year ago.
There is a sort of high roller section for poker at the Bike that is 1-2 tables. The game is mostly dead during the week. It's not 10/20 NLHE, but the general rule is that the game will go as high as the players want. Last time I played there it was around 5-10NLHE and there were only 2 other players there. This was like Tuesday at 3PM. Someone had what looked like his last $300 in front of him, I had brought in $800 I think, and some bald guy had like over $2,000. Game lasted about 2-3 hours?
I went back over the weekend and both tables were full. You're not going to play 10-20NLHE there, go to Commerce or Hustler. The Bike is overrated IMO. Maybe if it were a lil closer to the other LA casinos I'd go more often. I'm not going to go out of my way to go to a dirty poker room.
The new Lucky Lady Casino is really really really nice. All of the tables and seats still feel fresh and clean, unlike Commerce which is long overdue for a major overhaul with carpet and felts that are ripping apart. But I think when I was there there was like exactly 1 poker table running, I think it was $100NLHE.
Eh
