Safe & Sound in LA

Jeff and I arrived in LA on time Wednesday and got to the Commerce Casino around noon Pacific time . We dropped our bags off with the bell boy walked around for about about 30minutes and then jumped into a 20/40 FLH table which is the lowest game in the "high roller room". I played for 6 hours and left the table -$300 (which isn't a lot for that game). I proceeded to play a ridiculous $95 turbo tournament which had 58 entrants and i came 14th , but only top 5 cashed. James and his 2 friends showed up from Vegas later on and we pretty much called it a night.

On Thursday I played 20/40 FLH and lost $500 while waiting for the 40/80 FLH game. I played 40/80 all day and left the table up $300 but was still down $200 on the day which was annoying.

The high roller room is pretty sweet , they essentially treat you like royalty . Everything is pretty much on the house. For example last night i had a New York strip loin, mashed potatoes, a plate of fresh strawberries and a milkshake for dinner and all you have to do is tip the waitress $1.

Everyone is so laid back here its wicked. You can eat meals at the table, listen to your I pod, and the customer service goes above and beyond.

Also the LA Poker Open  starts November 3rd and runs for 3 weeks and it has some big tourneys so im excited to play in a few events.
