Relocating to Florida , B&M questions
 

I accepted a job offer at the Disney Corp. in Orlando and will be relocating right after graduation (3 weeks from now). I just set settled all the paperwork for an apartment in Lake Buena Vista, FL and I started looking up any decent poker leagues and card rooms within driving distance. The bar leagues are in full effect, so I have that covered but this was the closest place I found for live poker.Hard Rock Casino Tampa, FL

My question is for any of you that play here:

Have you all played/done well at the daily SNG's?


"$100 buy-in plus a $20 entry fee
1st place: $450
2nd place: $300
3rd place: $200

$200 buy-in plus a $25 entry fee
1st place: $950
2nd place: $600
3rd place: $400

$500 buy-in plus a $35 entry fee
1st place: $2,450
2nd place: $1,500
3rd place: $1,000

$1,000 buy-in plus a $50 entry fee
1st place: $4,950
2nd place: $3,000
3rd place: $2,000"


-Also, what's up with the .50/1 blinds and minimun $20 buy-in that they promote on the website? Am I reading this correctly?

"The following are the basic rules of Poker:

Structured betting: $1.00 - $2.00
Stud games: Low-card forced bet = $1.00
Flop games: Small Blind = 50-cents Big Blind: $1.00
Minimum buy-in: $20
Rake: 10% with a Minimum of $1.00, Maximum of $5.00"


-I'll be putting in some pretty long hours at work, but I can see myself playing at Hard Rock once or twice a month. I figure I can get my NL tourney fix playing the bar leagues and it will also help me network and find some decent home games. Thanks again in advance.

I can't speak for the tourneys (never played), but played at B&M in Miami and as I understand ALL cash games in Florida limited to $2 fixed bets.

Don't cancel your P-stars or FullTilt accounts after moving. You might need them.

So, are you Goofy or Pluto?????????????

Re: Relocating to Florida , B&M questions
 

Your plan sounds good. From what I understand there isn't much real poker in Florida. However, through these toureys at the Hard Rock you might find a home game. Or you can check out the home game forums and I think there is another site, something like homepokergames.com...can't remember the exact web site. I'll see if I can find it

Legislation passed last week that should, absent a move by the Gov. to kill it, raise the max bet to $5 and allow for NLHE with a max $100 buy in. It will allow bad beat jackpots too. New rules should take effect July 1.

Actually I never deposited any money online. I'm really selective when using my only credit card (paranoid about establishing good credit). For some reason the online deposit just wasn't for me, and i had just started school blah blah blah.

Worse [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] I got a job at the Corp. HQ, so I will probably be some jr. execs bitch for a while. Gotta pay your dues, though.

Ahh, just move to Colorado for that. You'll be closer to Vegas and can make the short flight anytime you want [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Thanks man [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] As soon as I accepted the job and looked over the relocation details I started figuring out the best way to manage my new income. I haven't had a full time job since I started school, but we'll see how this trainwreck turns out. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Orlando might if it weren't so landlocked.

I read something about a SunCruz casino in Cape Canaveral. They're supposed to offer some sort of poker.
