Commerce during the week?

[lapoker17]

Always lots of tables - I got there on New Year's Day at 5:30 AM, and the big NL game that I usually play wasn't even running, so I went to the 100s & 200s and they had like 12 tables going - So, to answer your quaestion - It's always rocking - and the games are incredibly soft - Day or Night, Weekdays or Weekends - It's LA, it doesn't matter.

What on earth do these people do if they're there on a weekday afternoon and they're not making their money at the poker table?

I only ask because in the few times I've been to Vegas to play 15/30 and up, the games have seemed noticeably tougher on weekday mornings/afternoons. I had assumed that would be the case in LA. (With that said, I play all the time at Commerce and HP and am quite happy with the play I see from at least 80% of the table each and every time.)

I saw info about this in one of Lou Krieger's books, he calls them "trust fund pros" in LA a lot of people have a higher expendable income than in other parts of the country, some dont even work, if you play long enough even if your not good, you will remember those wins andd many of these people think they beat the game, so they play often, and not everyone who plays during the day doesn't work. I used to play all day long on Tuesdays because it was one of my days off. Poker also attracts many people who work in jobs that are 24 hour businesses(police, security, hospitality, etc) places that neverclose, so someone will always be working not necessarrily at the 9-5 most people recognize with.

I was there the day before new years and they said they were running 27 $100 and 200$ no limit games. I think 10 $100 and 17 $200.
The place is amazing.

Thursday nights have always been good to me.

Oh yeah, the games during the week are often just fine. If your table is too tight, just get a table change. Plenty of games going every weeknight. Like Shant indicated, Thursdays seem to be a bit easier(and busier). I guess its an end of the week factor.

There is nothing like the feeling of sleeping in all day until 5pm or so and then strolling into Commerce at 8pm or so and knowing that you are going to rape all the addicted slobs who have been laboring at work all day and are now stuck, tired, and emotional. Put a few of them on tilt, and you will have fun raking in money all night long.
