Ultra loose; they will be ready to gamble (even $3/5 with $200 max buyin is big time loose in CA). The easy way to win is just to wait for a hand and simply devour the $6-20 already in the pot by pushing $40 into the pot. As your stack grows, tweak your strategy as necessary.
Yes, it is spread at least in the L.A. area. As others have stated, it usually ranges from donktastic to donkalicious. A few sharks pop in from time to time, but are usually waiting for bigger tables or tourneys. You see the occasional grinder with $150 in front of him, along with plenty of folks willing to rebuy. Patience pays.
On the flip side, I find it disturbing to occasionally see guys who feel the need to come to blows with the floor over a $25 pot.
I've played the $40 buy in game at Oceans 11 (in Oceanside) and the blinds are 1-1. The game is as loose or looser than you can imagine. People have no problem getting their stack in with the worst of it and chasing. Its donktastic!
morongo is horribly loose
rich ******* buy in with $100 at a time and they call/all in with anything,
and not because they know how to play but just because they have 2 much money..
i lost some money there because some idiot asian dude called with ace high on flop and made a flush on me.. runner runner..
i even saw some jack ass calling with Jack high for 60 bucks or more..
a lot of idiots be careful.. its not a playing condition for players who buy in for few bucks cause its impossible to bluff at a pot..they just call call call all in.. ah how it pisses me off
