Subject: Potential Pro's, don't move to Los Angeles to play
|
Until now, I always stated it's best to play in Los Angeles if you're a
pro. The reason, more games and a higher volume of mid level games.
Games where pro's can earn $500 a day and more easily.
However, things have now changed. Vegas, due to the current poker boom
is a better venue to play. The reason, the quality of play, or the
quality of the players.
Basically, the pro's are fairly comparable, however, the other players
are not. Vegas these days has more tourists than ever playing poker,
games where they can lose $1,000s, something that wasn't available
until the last couple of years. Los Angeles does also, but, Los Angeles
really doesn't have the same type of tourist action.
Los Angeles games are full of pro's and regulars, with the occasional
tourist. If you were to rate the weak players in Los Angeles, you'd
find they are far more advanced than the tourists in Vegas. The reason,
they are regular players who lose, as opposed to the tourists in Vegas
who seldom play in casino's.
This is the reason pro's from each area have always had problems
adjusting to the games. On a whole, California games are far stronger
than Vegas games.

During that period, close to all of Nevada players moved to LA,
including Chip and Doyle, who opened a card casino in Oceanside, with
Doug Dalton as manager.
Dealers were making $500 a day and up, some even averaging $1,000.

So true, Russ. Hey Russ, remember what it was like when they opened up
holdem in Los Angeles? (86? 87?)
Holy smoke! Was it all the way live or what!

Part of the reason is most players in L.A. don't drink when the play, but
all the tourists in vegas are blotto.

Arlo
This was so true. All of the United States who played poker headed for
California. The games were beyond any played anywhere in the world. The
money was basically being handed out. YET, so many of these 'know it
alls' attack the first post where I stated to move to Vegas to play
these days, not LA. I also gave the reason.
Vegas, has now become the LA of 20 years ago. It's really good getting
information from players who probably weren't able to get into casino's
during that period because you had to be 21. How the hell would they
know?

Hell when they started spreading omaha in LA I had no idea what to do with all
the money. Most players then would not let go of A2 even if it floped a 2. I
cant tell you how many times I saw people raise with a bad A2 or call two bets
with 2 pair or set when a flush was on board
