Cash Poker Table Activity Analysis West Coast

Poker Pilgrims is happy to continue our Cash Poker Table Activity analysis. We recently completed collecting data on cash poker table activity across the West Coast.

Our page with West Coast results is now live. Note that there are filters on the page for venue, day, or game ($1/$2, $2/$5, PLO, or Other).

Sites such as Poker Atlas and Bravo Poker Live offer users the ability to see the current numbers of cash players at a venue at any given time. However, they do not allow you to plan your next poker visit in advance. Currently, if I want to know how many $1-$2 no-limit tables the Commerce Casino gets on a Thursday evening, there is nowhere to go to find that information. Poker Pilgrims hopes to fill that gap. Whether you are figuring out where to play poker next weekend, or where to plan your next poker vacation, our cash poker table activity pages will hopefully be of help.

West Coast Cash Poker Analysis

As of Summer 2022, there are 23 poker rooms on the West Coast with 6 or more tables that report cash poker table activity to either Bravo Poker or Poker Atlas. Among these, the Commerce and Hustler in LA, Oceans 11 in San Diego, and Morongo in Palm Springs offer the most consistently active cash games. Notably, several very large poker rooms in California do not report to either Bravo or Poker Atlas. These include the Bay 101 in San Jose, The Gardens and Hollywood Park in LA, and Oaks Card Club north of San Francisco.

Interestingly, there is very little PLO played on the West Coast. However, if you want to play higher stakes or other poker variants, LA is the place to play, with the Commerce, Bicycle and Hustler all offering a healthy collection of these games. You will find a variety of high stakes games at these casinos as well as Big O, the occasional limit game, and even some mixed games.

Outside of LA and the San Francisco area, rooms are smaller and offer less cash poker activity. There are only a handful $1/$2 or $1/$3 tables, with a couple of $2/$5 tables and little choice of venue for hundreds of miles.

In the past year, we have tracked cash poker activity across the country. In areas where a poker player has options, this information, along with room reviews and poker tournament activity can help you make a discerning choice. Be patient with us as we work to populate these tables. In the meantime, feel free to visit our  Cash Poker Activity page and see how many tables your favorite room hosts on an average Saturday night.
