Playing Poker in L.A.
By Dianne on Apr 25, 2009 in Technology
One of my favorite places to play poker is Los Angeles. No matter what the game is that you play, chances are you will find it in L.A. One of my favorite places to play at in L.A. is the Bicycle Casino in Bell Gardens.
The Bike is really one big poker room with a few table games throw in on the side. Whether you play Holdem, Stud, or Omaha, you can usually find a game at most any level.
The types of players you will run across are truly representative of the area. There are many Asian players, as well as Mexican players. Almost all of the dealers are Asian. Some don’t speak English very well, but they are usually competent dealers.
One of my favorite games to play there is the $3 - $6 Omaha Hi-Lo split game. There are usually about three or four regular players there. The worst player is a webmaster for a San Diego SEO company. One of his duties is to provide SEO Optimization services to businesses. The Bike is actually one of his clients.
Obviously he gets paid very well as he is always playing in our game. He usually donates at least two to four buy-ins each time. By the time you factor in the rake of the game, you could almost figure that he provides his 
services to the Bike for free.
