1/2, 2/3, 2/5, 5/10. I believe PLO is 5/5, but you may want to double-check that.

How many tables do they run? Well, I think 2/3 has about 3 tables at prime time, 1/2 has very high demand, but unsure about the higher games. Overall # of tables on a Friday must be 11-15. Sorry, it's hard to tell because they just opened up the "back room," where they have a few more tables. Main room has about 3 x 4 = 12.

They have also changed their tourney structure, effective 9/1, where the blinds will rise like an online SNG. Currently, blinds are doubled every 20 min round. Seems like they have about two tourneys a day. Most of the regs are friendly, and the douchebag level is kinda low. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like I see more and more female players there every time I go now. Perhaps most importantly, I can't recall the dealers making any annoying mistakes in the past 15 hours I've played there.

Place got robbed this morning at 3:30 AM by a man with a rifle. Was anyone there?

Can someone please finally post the min/max of all the NL games

Wow, I play there 4-5 times a week. Never that late though. The place is really vulnerable IMO. One security guard and a freeway on-ramp no more than 3/4 mile down the road.

I can only confirm the games that I've played which are:

1/2 NL $50-$100]
2/3 NL $100-$300
3/6 Big O $30-[Want to say uncapped]

Thanks, was hoping with the number of tables they would spread a 2/5 at least...unlikely to play there at all given the above info ITT.

They do offer to spread a $2/5 game (it's actually $3/5 for weird reasons), but it almost never goes, at least not since I was last there. Instead, most players prefer to play down at $2/3 ($300 cap) or at $5/10, which is an uncapped buyin, and it goes every day. Sometimes that game plays very big, sometimes just medium big.

It would be nice if there were an intermediate level game something like the Commerce $5/10 with the $500-$1500 buyin, but there's no player base for it. This club has had a regular uncapped NL game since Holdem was legalized in CA in the late 80s, and that's the game the locals like to play.

The 3/6 Big-O game mentioned above is a very small fixed limit game, so buyin caps don't apply.

But they do spread a $1/3 Pot Limit Big O game with a $500 capped buyin about 3-4 days a week. Sometimes they also run a $5/5 Pot Limit game, half-PLO/8 and half PLO with an uncapped buyin, which plays pretty big.

I have not been since the robbery, nor have I talked to anyone there about it to get the details.

EDIT: Here is the local news article about it.

What days and hours does the 5-10 (or bigger) nl go? Thx.

5-10 runs Monday,Wednesday,Saturday. Monday Saturday 10am til night and Wednesday game starts at 11am, if there by 11am you are guaranteed a seat to play.

How are the games/crowds here lately? I'm new to the region and thinking of checking it out, since it is less than an hour west of me.

I'm glad you asked, let me share my experience here.

I played here Saturday night, and this is the closest thing to a non-LA style room in the area so far. I wish it was closer to the Valley where I live. This room was easy to find, spread a decent selection of NL games, and had staff and players who were friendly, courteous, competent and professional. It is a small room for LA; I counted 17 or 18 tables plus a few California games tables. They have food from an attached restaurant that looked very nice for sit down eating (discounted special menu for seated players), and alcohol from the same.

They do use they same SoCal style of blinds/buying. When I was there, they had 1/2 (50-100 buyin), 2/3 (100-300), and 3/5 (200-1000) for no limit, and a 3/6 Limit Big O (Omaha with a 5th hole card dealt, 50 min buyin). There was no Limit Holdem which is a hole, but if people were wanting to play it, they would spread it. They did seem to have quite a schedule of small and medium tournaments, and would run sit-n-go tables pretty much on demand, from what I saw.

An unusual thing is that apparently staff can play here, which us cool if you work there and don't want to drive to LA for poker.

The downsides are: an hour drive down the 101 crossing the 405, no comps, no Bravo, and no players card for promotions.

I personally feel the upsides of the room outweighed the downsides, and I liked this place better than either Commerce or the Bike so far. They will see me again.

Thanks for the update. Thinking of going here as well. What is the rake structure? No flop no drop?

$19 or more in the pot $5 drop

Also the pot has to be $ 19 & above to win the jackpot

to beat that game the pots have to be mostly a hundred or more to stand a chance. or regularly have someone drop in that loses a ton without much chance.

actually, to beat the game, the pots all have to be under $19, since then u can play with NO rake.

but heres a serious question, cali state law REQUIRES that the rake be taken upfront, and NOT be based on the size of the pot, as u all know, and every other cardroom in cali does this. how are they getting away with this legally?

they might be shut down for not charging a higher drop upfront, but in the meantime we should all play there anytime we are in cali, its a great deal for the players even if its not legal.

the bigger game players should demand a time rake. taking 5 at 19 just means in many of the games it cannot be beat.

They say they are going to add that damn automatic dollar drop from the small blind for the jackpot. So looking at 6 dollars a hand once it is implemented. Anyone know if they are doing it yet? No more chops at 1/2 sadface but maybe more players? since there will be a jackpot in the 10s of g's hopefully.

Looking forward to trying it out this weekend

I'm playing here now and they aren't doing this. No one here seems to have heard anything about it yet, if it is happening.

Does the 5/10 run everyday? What is the quality of these games?

Not doing it yet. Every time I've heard it mentioned to a dealer they don't have any details except that it's coming. I saw a single table in a corner that already has a second slot cut into it for the drop. One dealer mentioned that there will be more than one jackpot. If so, then probably a quads over quads or something for bigger payouts.

I just spoke to the senior floor guy and he confirmed that a jackpot drop is coming "sometime after the 1st" of next month. He said it would be taken after the flop, so that chopping would not be affected. He was expecting holdem jackpots to jump to the 25-30k range now (current house funded jackpot is $3400).

wtf is up with a 100 dollar max buy in at 1/2...??

how is that unusual? at the commerce, and hawaain gardens, the max buy in the $1-2 NL is $40
