Poker rooms in Los Angeles
Card rooms around Los Angeles. In California the house cannot legally take a percentage of the pot, so rake is a fixed amount per hand. You pay the same whether the pot is small or large, which makes the cost behave completely differently from Vegas or Asia.
6 rooms listed. Rake and table availability change, so please confirm before visiting.
Rake in LA is a flat drop: roughly $4–$7 per hand from $1-2 up to $5-5, taken regardless of pot size. Only the higher games ($10-20 and up) switch to a time collection of about $10–15 per half hour. See What is rake in poker? for how the structures differ.
