45 years of poker playing all around the world, and I cannot recall having been in a worse run poker room in all that time.
When entering a poker room for the first time, I always make sure to familiarize myself with the local rules, as poker room rules unfortunately vary greatly around the globe.
This club has a list of their most important rules hanging on the wall. One of them is "no rabbit hunting," which is a common rule, and for good reason. It took but 2 minutes into my first session before this rule was broken.
Dealers were asked to show flops, the next card etc. all the time, and continuing throughout the night to oblige without blinking.
Another rule posted is "one player to a hand," which happens to be another universal poker rule, and again for extremely good reasons. Holy crap.
Throughout the night players were showing cards to each other during play, even showing cards to other players not involved in a pot, and DISCUSSING STRATEGY with said players while hand in progress!!!
Dealers never blinked or said ANYTHING!
Mind you, that even though it was "only", a $1-$3 game, this club allows buy-ins up to $1,000, and even allows you to match the biggest stack on the table. As such this game plays huge, and there was upwards of TEN GRAND at the table at one point!
It should however not make any difference how much money is in play, it is the club's responsibility to protect the integrity of the game ESPECIALLY when it is not their money that is in play.
Besides these horrible failures, the usual array of players folding out of turn, not knowing it is their turn, and the dealers being involved in conversations left and right, paying ZERO attention to the game, let alone controlling it in any way was all to prevalent.
On top of all this, the room is quite filthy, floormen running around chewing food while performing their duties, bathrooms are filthy, and the neighborhood in which the club is located is so bad that UBER refused to pick me up at 3am!!
In fact there was an armed robbery attempt at the club in January!
The worst thing, of course, is that this review will most likely have ZERO effect on the way management will run this room in the future.
So if you like to play poker in The Wild, Wild West where the inmates are running the asylum, where everything goes, and you are sure to feel unsafe, then Legends is your place.
GOOD RIDDANCE!
