LASFS was a club with a lot of gaming, both card games and board games, but Poker was the most enduring. Bruce Pelz wrote that "at the expensive table ... swings of $100 plus may happen in an evening. With that much money involved, one would think that the LASFS would play reasonably sensible kinds of Poker, for which the odds can lie easily calculated. One would, of course, be completely wrong. The games played are a collection of the most ridiculous inventions known to as motley a crew as ever attempted to shuffle a deck of cards."
For a much longer description of the various and weird Pokers played, see his article in Marty Cantor's fanzine Holier Than Thou.
