Not a bad idea.
But is it legal to play with real money????

Who was gonna stop them? It'd be quite difficult to get a cop car through there.

how about helicopters....LOL

i think this is very dangerous i can see fights breaking out over disputed hands and no one to establish order. this game always needs supervision. who knows how many fights could of happened in the wpt without it being organized

If they could post to Instagram, why couldn't they just play online from their cars.
Oops, forgot, it's the land of the free,
and the home of the regulators.

If they are not playing for thousands of dollars there should be no fighting. No more than a home poker game

if your playing for money there always could be problems. zab judah a multimillion dollar boxer almost got in a street fight with a regular joe over a dice game for money that was peanuts for him. its happens alot. the size of the money doesnt make a difference

On a freeway like that in LA, the designated Pit Boss would be the player with the biggest gun ...

Sound like fun to me.Atleast the got something to do rather than being stress and cursing in their car.

Lol too funny, I would get out of my car to play a few hands for sure!

I usually have a small table and a poker table top in my trunk along with chips because my friends and I play a lot of impromptu home games. These guys are awesome and if I ever end up on a closed highway I might have to follow their lead.

I'd say they got this right. Spread the news and give the fish hope of becoming MILLIONAIRES!!!

i would of deff jumped into a few hands thats awesome that someone even was able to get ppl they didnt kno to play and have cards+chips to play

I have spent thousands of hours stuck in LA traffic.. Time to start carrying a chip set and some cards in the car.. Only in L.A. could this happen.. too funny.
