For the largest poker room in the world, they clearly appeared understaffed. The first thing I noticed once I got a seat was how long the lists for games were and how many open tables there were.

Compared to the newly renovated Bike, Commerce was a dingy Pit of Desperation and Despair. Wednesday was my planned day to check out the Commerce Casino.

Also love the system for calling names on the waitlist, you get called 3 times then on to the next name so about 15 secs to make yourself known. Also when ever a new player comes to the table, a floor/brush will ask if anyone wants to seat change, before locking up the seat, so nobody can take the seat once they see who is sitting down, which is very rude imo. The system for table transfers is excellent, a floorman handles it every time and asks the player whether they'll take it or pass. I only recall seeing the clock called once all week, and other than that there were no disputes that required calling the floor. When I was there, they didn't sell chips from their trays once, and the chip runners were pretty quick. I love the system of dealers taking their trays with them, it is so much faster than doing fills and recounting the tray every down. All of them were all business and didn't converse with the players. I didn't get a slow or bad dealer once the whole trip. Played 500-1500 holdem (5-10 NL) from about 1 pm - 1 am every day. It was my first time and I was impressed. I haven't been there in a few years.sounds like it hasn't changed at all. Some girl ran in front of me while I was checking out to get a can opener for some cold Chili. I also think its home to a lot of low income types. TV didn't work since the remote was on the fritz. I also love a room that has more then enough drink tables which many don't.īTW NEVER STAY at the Motel 6 suites on Slauson. Porters clean up immediately and will get you coffee too. I do have to say the food and beverage service is awesome. My favorite was a guy who turned a rack into 4 racks at a must move table then when he had to move to the main game went and cashed in his profit before coming to the table. Players routinely talk about the hand being played when it was multi-way, played out of turn, abused dealers and each other etc. I also couldn't believe the total lack of etiquette or adherence to rules. Total chaos as everyone just congregates around the person taking sign ups and prevents the person from him or her from seeing the floor. I was surprised they don't have a podium and have some TV on the floor near these steps.

Went deep but got two outered on a shove hand and went to play cash. Played Commerce for the first time this weekend.
