Re: Going to California- LA area
I'm gonna be out there next week (well, the 11th-15th ish), so I figured I'd ask the same question, but for lower limits (3/6 and 4/8, mostly).
Along the same lines are there days/times when the games are "bad" that I should look to avoid?

Re: Going to California- LA area
I'll also be in the LA area for 2 days in a few weeks. I'll be in Santa Ana. What's the closest poker room to Santa Ana that has a good 2-4NL game? I was in Orange county a couple of months ago, and I drove up to Hawaiian gardens and played their NL game. I would like to try and play somewhere else this time. Also, I'll be there on Sunday and Monday. Are there any mid-limit ($100-200) buy-in tourneys on Sunday or Monday that aren't too far from Santa Ana? Thanks.

[/ QUOTE ] For a super comfortable and clean no limit section check out the Bike. There are $100 ($2 and $3 blinds) and $200 ($3 and $5 blinds) restricted buy in NL holdem games going daily. Here is a link to the small tournament schedule. You might find the $50 with one $50 rebuy NLH tournament to your liking on Monday night. Back up from the link for directions etc. If you come by Monday between 10:30 am and 6:30 pm I'll be working the section as a playing host. BTW, on Sunday the Bike has been running a $330 no rebuy no limit tournament. It has a smallish field so far (the Monday night tournament has large fields) but it won't take a long time to conclude so you can also play live. Regards, Rick

What time is the Sunday $330 buy in tourney? [/ QUOTE ] Normally the no limit tornament is at 1:30 pm but just for today (Nov 14) it is at 5:00 pm. Anyway good luck and if you play the $100 or $200 game later please don't hit the $63,000 jackpot until I get there on Monday [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. Regards, Rick

Re: Going to California- LA area
Assuming you can get on the infamous 405 freeway Hawaiian Gardens Casino is closest to Costa Mesa (take the 405 to the 605 north about three miles to the Carson exit and go east 1/4 mile). Although the action is good Hawaiian Gardens is still doing business in a vinyl framed tent-like group of buildings and is very noisy and the tables are too close together IMO.
On a weekend the Bike is about the second easiest to get to from Costa Mesa (as opposed to the Commerce where you need to take one of the roughest stretches of the 5 freeway from Orange County). For the Bike take the 405 to the 710 north and go about ten miles passing both the 91 and 105 freeways. Exit east at Florence - the Bike is at the corner. The 710 is tough on weekdays due to truck traffic but is lightly traveled on weekends. Anyway, as I think I mentioned elsewhere in this thread I work the no limit section on Saturday night. Hope to see you there. Regards, Rick
