The Places I've Been

I am a serious recreational poker player, and have been playing since around 2002. I started off at the low-limit texas holdem 3/6 and 4/8 tables and over the years have worked my way up. I currently play 20/40 and 40/80 limit regularly.

Over the years I've had an opportunity to play poker at many different places. Here's a non-chronological order of the card rooms & casinos I've played poker at, along with the limits I played while I was there:

The Bicycle Casino --Bell Gardens, CA -- 4/8, 10/20
Bellagio -- Las Vegas, NV -- 4/8, 8/16, 15/30, 30/60
The Mirage -- Las Vegas, NV -- 3/6, 6/12, 20/40
Agua Caliente -- Rancho Mirage, CA -- 3/6, 4/8, 8/16, 20/40
Oceans 11 -- Oceanside, CA -- 3/6, 4/8, 8/16/, 20/40, 40/80, 2-3 NL, 5-5 NL
Viejas -- Alpine, CA -- 4/8, 8/16
Muckleshoot -- Auburn, WA -- 10/20
Monte Carlo -- Las Vegas, NV -- 2/4
Aladdin -- Las Vegas, NV -- 1-2 NL
Canterbury Park -- Shakopee, MN -- 4/8, 8/16, 15/30, 30/60
Harrah's Rincon -- Valley Center, CA -- $1000 + 60 NL tournament
Bay 101 -- San Jose, CA -- 6/12, 9/18
The Palms -- Las Vegas, NV -- 3/6, 6/12

I've been meaning to play at Commerce Casino in Los Angeles, but have never seemed to have the opportunity. From everything I hear though, it's a ramming jamming casino with lots of action, and plenty of mid-limit tables. Maybe sometime this month for my birthday I will go up to LA and play for a day.
