20 min blinds would be a little better but it's the Commerce - you have to keep the game running. For $65 on the dailys, you can't beat it.

Plus the jackpot bonuses are very generous too so people switch games when it gets big in one of them. It's just cool to play about every poker variation you can thing of and the smaller casinos just can't do it. Getting a chance to play razz or lowball is really helpful prepping for mixed game tourneys and usually you can find a game. The best part to me about coming here is the mix of games. Being a rookie, it scared him a little but I just told him no one here bites (usually). He couldn't believe how big the room was when he first walked in. The CA Poker scene is always a blast and I dragged the boyfriend out to play last week on our trip. The Commerce might be the big dog in the LA market - but based on rake, customer service, ambiance and employe attitude - this place wouldn't survive 10 minutes in Las Vegas.Always enjoy coming back to Commerce. The first rake is taken out of the blinds before the hand is even dealt - so there is always confused players regarding how many chips are required to complete bets.ĭealers skill varied from competent to 'first day on the job' levels of inability to split pots or read hands. The tables themselves have video screens for some promotion/ progressive screen built in directly in front of the player - so your space for chips or cards is taken up by this and limits your use of the table. Had to get a floorperson involved to get this corrected as the 'caller' had no interest in fixing it. Saw new tables opened on at least two occasions - where they called 16+ players for a new table - the players that were not seated were bumped off the list or forced to the bottom. The tables packed into a space that makes it difficult to even walk around - and when they do announce your name and table - there is no signage to let you know where this table is (and when theres a 100 tables on an open floor - wandering aimlessly is a pain).

No sign up desk for games - must be done thru a kiosk - no signage teling you where the kiosk is.Ĭan't sign up thru the kiosk without a players card - no signage of where to get a players card. Parking? Lot is atrocious to navigate with zero signage other than swaths of 'reserved parking' areas. Found myself in LA - decided I had to visit Commerce and see it for myself.
