***I will be posting new information as it comes in since I know there are several PO members that live in the area.

man that site sucks, dont understand why you'd go to the trouble of writing that big post on the subject..... anyway, thanks for the info.

Go and take down all the greats baby!

This would be better if it was on the weekends. I understand why they do it on weekdays just wish they would do it on the weekends.

When i lived in los angeles i used to play here. Nice place.

How much is first place usually? Its not too far away.

I have played at that particular casino. I remember the card area being a little small, but the casino was nice.

Thanks for the info. Looks like a normal casino promotion. I feel the online promotions are usually better.

Am in Toronto Ontario.

Please send ticket.

los angeles is a great place to play poker !

i am heading to la next week, i was hoping to play some live games if i have time..can't wait

thats great newwwwwwwwwwws amazing

in africa they don't play poker the whole day long

Any hand that looked like a favorite to win can end up losing as more cards are dealt, but bad beats usually involve one of two scenarios:
The player who wins on a bad beat is rewarded for mathematically unsound play. Calling a bet despite having neither the best hand nor the right pot odds or implied odds to call, then winning anyway, is characteristic of this type of bad beat. It can also involve the inferior hand catching running cards when it requires two cards in a row to come from behind to win the pot. For example, catching cards on both the turn and the river in Texas hold 'em that complete a straight or flush.

Good luck! There are some great poker rooms in LA and you will regret it if you don't take advantage and go to at least one some night. Let us know how you end up doing. Wish you the best of luck! You will probably see a handful of celebrities in the poker rooms there. I met Mike "Quick" Swick and Bruce Buffer from the UFC when I played in Los Angeles about five years ago.

1st place is always a decent payout, last WPT event I played first took 80k. Next event 1st place gets not only the prize money, but also a brand new Harley Davidson! I will post a picture of the room and the Harley up for grabs, they moved it upstairs so there are more tables. A group of us have already been once, and we want to get as many PO members in the area to join us next time!

wow that sounds awesome... i wish casinos in my area offered as much incentives as this place... cant find anything remotely close here which sucks and casino mgmt wonder why there losing monies

I agree, the new Horseshoe Casino is opening tomorrow! I might start a post about it, but we should try to hit Hollywood up when we all have a weekday off to take a stab at a $2,500 buy-in seat to the HPO Championship at the M Resort, Las Vegas in June 2013 and $1,500 cash for travel expenses and hit the Horseshoe Casino poker room ASAP!

It is not a poker site, it is a casino I posted the location of the casino in the title and I posted it because there are a lot of Poker Owned members that are in the casino's area. I have actually been to this casino with two members I met on the site already and plan to go again soon. I am mainly interested in winning a HPO Prize Package that includes a $2,500 buy-in seat to the HPO Championship at the M Resort, Las Vegas in June 2013 and $1,500 cash for travel expenses!

You will be glad you did and will probably find yourself going back for more. The Horseshoe in southern Indiana is nice, I have attended some WSOP events there, but there is a new one opening in Cincinnati tomorrow if you are closer to the Ohio border.
