the beginning

Purpose of www.PokerOso.com >>> To provide a comprehensive directory of live legal brick and mortar poker rooms throughout the United States and Canada.

Concept >>> When looking for a poker room to play whether it be in San Diego county where we are based or while traveling from home we have found it very difficult to come up with reliable, comprehensive information on poker rooms. Things like games spread, parking, staff friendliness, tournaments offered, contact information, etc. This list goes on. We are not under the false assumption that this information doesn’t exist on the internet, it does. The problem is that it’s scattered all over and more often than not we’ve had to wade through forums, blinking banner adds, blogs and the like to get bits and pieces of the information we are looking for. Why not have it all in one spot on an easy to navigate site full with current comprehensive information that can be referenced time and time again.
pokerOso.com Coming Soon!!

The very essence of pokeroso.com is user generated content. The lions share of the card room reviews and information will be submitted by you. Who wants to read a biased canned review of a card room written by the ownership when you can bypass the propaganda and go right to the source, the players who have played in these establishments.

I like to use the example of Amazon.com. I would consider myself a casual customer but there isn’t a purchase over $50 that I make that I don’t first consult Amazon’s user reviews. Often times you will not only find a review of a product that someone has just purchased but also that same product reviewed by someone who has already owned it for a year or two. Some of the more popular items have literally hundreds of reviews so that as a potential buyer of the product I can have a really good idea of not just how it will look and feel when I get it but how it will perform the entire life of the product.

Okay, now imagine that you are going on a business trip with some associates to Southern California. You are going for three nights and four days. You have meetings scheduled, a short conference, and a lunch and a dinner that you must attend. The thing is that you have heard there are a lot of places in So. California to play poker and you would love to get two or three hours of play in on this trip just to say you did it. With only two or three hours you don’t have much room for error. On pokeroso.com you’ll be able to see pictures of the card room, get map directions, hours of operation, games spread, parking availability, bonus info, etc. You will also be able to read those crucial reviews almost ensuring a positive experience.
