Have you gambled at any of Los Angeles County’s card clubs?

I’ve never been to any of the local casinos or card rooms. Many years ago I took my wife to Vegas and decided to teach her to play. I lost a few hundred dollars in a couple minutes and have not gambled since.

Commerce Casino is one of the biggest card rooms in the world. I’ve played poker there for years. It has action at all levels of play, from small cash games to big tournaments. Definitely a good place to bring a client. Poker is the new golf course.

No, if I want to take a gamble, I’d rather risk my money on a promising business venture than a casino or card game. The business world provides thrills and opportunities aplenty.

I’ll gamble on occasion, but more on the sports side of things. I haven’t had the pleasure of visiting an L.A. County card club. Roulette is my game of choice and I’m still honing my card-playing skills. But maybe I’ll check one out soon.

Yes, I’ve played at Commerce, the Bicycle and Hustler. Wherever I play, my strategy remains the same – aggressive.
