Default Re: Costa Mesa / Irvine Area Card Rooms

[ QUOTE ]
I live in Irvine/Newport beach. Commerce is about 30-40 minutes from here (25 min late at night, probably 1 1/2 hours during rush hour). I asked about Hawaiian Gardens a few days ago, from the responses it sounds allright for lower limits. I think that may be a bit closer, but not much. If you do go to HG, post and let me know how it was, I'd like to head up there one of these days after work.

Commerce is great but earlier tonight Hawaiian Gardens had three 20/40 holdem, one 40/80 holdem, and two 15/30 holdem games (although the 15/30's tend to break early). In NL they had about eight $100 fixed buys, three $300 fixed buys, and two $500 fixed buys. They had at least five 8/16 holdems. In smaller stakes they had a sea of tables - more than I could count.

Commerce is about twelve miles farther from Costa Mesa. During peak traffic it really is a big difference. The 605 south of Carson (the Hawaiian Gardens exit) is rarely crowded.
