I like the way Matt Savage schedules these events. The weeks start off nice and gentle then build up to a full room at the weekends. Maybe a final table and two tournaments isn’t that gentle but Matt + Sam were on cruise control this afternoon. The action started with a 2pm NLHE with no [...]

Not a Manic Monday
Tuesday, November 10th, 2009Commerce off to a flyer
Friday, November 6th, 2009It may be consuming too much of my time but poker players headed off to the Commerce in large numbers today for Day1a, of three, the $200 buy in where Matt Savage guarantees you almost enough winnings to buy a racehorse.
.Lizette Acoba picked up a $600 payoff for beating all but 55 of the 1075 [...]
L.A. on a Friday
Friday, August 14th, 2009A reminder that you have two options at the Bike tomorrow. A 3pm Eight or better tournament with a $500 buy in and also at 3pm (oops) a $300 NLHE with a gurantee of $200k that concludes on Sunday. For confused players tomorrow if you are dealt four cards then you are in the Omaha8.

No Horses but $300 coverage
Wednesday, February 18th, 2009Yesterdays $300 Presidents Day NLHE at the Commerce had 1362 entries, a massive field. I haven’t seen a field like this since the $1500 tournies at the WSOP. Truth is I didn’t see it until today as I was at Santa Anita yesterday. 41 returned today and only poker forum addict, LA cop, Scott Diamond [...]
Going Up…
Monday, February 16th, 2009Today we have a $5k PLO with one rebuy. I have also been moved off the floor up onto the stage. Joining me are team CardPlayer, whom I like especially Kristy :) The PLO has 48 entries as I write. The surprises are the fact that Gavin Smith, Tom Franklin, David Levi, Scott Montgomery,Amir Vahedi [...]
Triple Sunday
Sunday, February 8th, 2009A 437 field for the $500 NLHE. The first of the PLO tournaments at 3pm and the resumption of the NLHE from Saturday. All in all a busy day upstairs . Downstairs business is slow but a blonde Kenny Tran is in a cash game. Playing with him is the guy who looks like David [...]
Where did all the big names go?
Wednesday, February 4th, 2009I waited until dinner break yesterday before naming all the pros in the six handed. I was surprised to see that, with the exception of Canadian Scott Montgomery, the final, at 4pm today, consists of complete unknowns. In fact most of them don’t even have a Hendonmob database entry the bible or encyclopedia for all [...]
90 at Bellagio.760 at Commerce. No Superbowl downswing
Monday, February 2nd, 2009The Bellagio $1k weekenders had dwindled down to 20 players. Not this weekend! The gamblers packed Vegas sportsbooks and this had a positive side for the poker room. Jennifer Tilly played on Saturday and made a profit of $470. The winners were Al Adler on Friday and Mark Luciano on Saturday.
The LAPC, at the Commerce, [...]
