California Poker Information
The most populous state in the U.S.A. is also swimming with poker rooms. Some of the largest of these are Commerce Casino, Bicycle Casino, and Hollywood Park Casino. Away from these behemoths, independent card rooms and poker venues are common throughout every well-populated area of the state. Online poker is not yet legal within California, although activists and major companies continue to lobby legislators to make this happen. The state’s land-based casinos pay out in excess of $500 million to players every single year, giving some indication of the raw strength and potential of the area’s poker economy.

'There's California bloodlines in my heartAnd a California heartbeat in my soul'
-- John Stewart
Prior to 1987, poker in California was confined to variations of Five Card Draw: Lowball, Draw High, Jacks or better, Five Card High Low Draw... While playing games that only have two rounds of betting seems almost quaint today, California still had more poker action than anywhere else in the world. However what poker action existed before then was dwarfed by what followed.
In 1987, stud and flop-style games began to be legally played in two counties, Los Angeles and Santa Cruz. Previously these games were viewed as illegal due to a state law prohibiting 'stud horse' poker, a game no one to this day can describe.
Adding Texas Hold'em, Omaha and Stud to the list of approved games caused nothing short of gambling earthquake, in those two counties anyway. People who had been playing Lowball games where they might risk $20 a day, were not risking that in single hands. New players were created more often by the more exciting games, where even if you lost you could almost always win some very nice sized pots during your play. And, to put it mildly, the games were loose, with wild action that defies description.
In a real sense, when flop games came to California it was like teenagers hearing

Already the center of the poker universe, California became even more so. The largest poker rooms -- the Bicycle Casino first, and then the Commerce Casino later -- were so large that you could fit every poker game in Nevada inside them. Due to a tax seizure, for several years in the 1990s the second largest poker room in the world, the Bicycle Casino, was owned by the United States government, which profited tens of millions of dollars from this first Texas Hold'em boom.The boom effect was even greater because the rest of the state did not offer Hold'em games for about a year after Los Angeles county (where there was a court ruling allowing the games) and Santa Cruz county (where local cardroom owners got the country sheriff and city chief of police to allow them to spread the games as long as Los Angeles was). This led to local booms wherever Hold'em was first introduced.
The Oaks Club in Emeryville, near Oakland, was the first large Northern California club to offer Hold'em games. As the local players learned the game, vultures/rounders from all over the West relocated to 'help' the locals with their learning process. This phenomenon replayed itself in every small cardroom in the state over the next eighteen months until the Garden City cardroom (at the time the largest in Northern California) finally was allowed to spread Texas Hold'em in late 1989. Even after the process had previously occurred up and down the state, the San Jose Hold'em games for the next six months are legendary.
If not for this first poker boom it is unlikely that either the Internet poker boom or the casino tournament poker boom would have had the impact that they did.
In hindsight, what was apparent in the first poker boom played out even more strongly in the second post-Moneymaker boom. First, more women and college age players took up the exciting flop games than ever would have spent their time playing Draw games. Second, while preferable to Draw, Stud never had a chance competing with flop games. Third, when the chance to win big exists, people are more willing to risk moderately (most obvious in how people like to play large tournaments). In the Draw days when a player would put $100 at risk, a good winning day would be $80. It's common in Hold'em games to at least see another player parlay a $100 into many hundreds every time you play. Money moves around a lot more in Hold'em games -- and therefore so does fun and frustration and excitement.
