Texas Cash Poker Activity Analysis

Poker Pilgrims is happy to continue our Cash Poker Table Activity analysis. We recently completed collecting data on cash poker table activity in Texas. This was our final region requiring collection. So we now have coverage of cash poker activity throughout the United States.

Our page with Texas cash poker activity is now live. Our US Map of Cash Poker Activity can be accessed via the drop-down menus at the top of the homepage (under Poker Room Information). 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 Lodge 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.

Texas Cash Poker Analysis

As of Fall 2022, there are 44 poker rooms in Texas with 6 or more tables that report cash poker table activity to Poker Atlas. Bravo does not have coverage in the state of Texas. There are few poker rooms in Texas with 6 or more tables that do not report to Poker Atlas.

Surprisingly, many of the poker rooms in Texas offer minimal cash poker activity. There are many rooms which report only one or two tables on a typical weeknight, and even some that report few tables on weekends.  The Lodge, the Austin Poker room owned by Andrew Neeme, Brad Owen, and Doug Polk and the Texas Card House Dallas are by far the largest cash poker rooms in the state. They each host 8 to 10 tables of $1/$2 and $1/$3 NLH on a typical weeknight, and up to 12 tables on the weekend . If you are interested in PLO, Legends poker room in Houston is your best bet, and they can be counted on to have several PLO games running pretty much any day of the week. The Texas Card House Dallas and the 101 Poker Club Richmond also run PLO reliably, just in lower volume than Legends.

If you are looking for games other than $1/$2 or $2/$5 Holdem or PLO, you will find that they are thin on the ground in Texas. A number of rooms might have a table or two of Limit or of higher No Limit games (or other Omaha variants) at any given time. But no room consistently hosts a number of other variants on any one day.

Our Plan

Our poker table cash activity pages will be updated regularly.

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. Or check out our Map of Poker Rooms in the US if you are wondering “are there poker rooms near me?”.
