I live in Florida and it is terrible here. I play online only. No use to go out to a casino to play.

Now they have unlimited pots but 2 dollar max bet is still the law.

Here's how the Immokalee casino used to be: $10 pot limit; once the pot reached 10 bucks then all cards were turned up and the rest of the board was dealt. Winner gets the pot after the casino raked 2 bucks out. I saw this and never went back.

best bet is sun cruz for cash games-- boats that leave for international waters for like 8 hours- they run like twice a day - daily.
if you are near any hard rock casinos -- they usually run some sng's NL tournies -- like 100-200 buy ins. and they have multi table tournies too.
Anything else -- u gotta head over to the Gulf.
Good luck -- i;ve recently left florida. It is poker Hell.

Yep...Save your money, buy a cheap Southwest air fare to Vegas or better yet, go to Mississippi, which is closer and get your fix. Internet is about it after that. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I think he moved up mostly from playing online, but I heard the casinos in Florida also spread 1000 stts, and he was a regular at those.

I just saw this while looking for casino jobs. Anybody know what this place is like?

Gulfstream Park has completed a massive renovation project that has dramatically changed the look and atmosphere of our previous facility. We are currently undergoing additional renovations that will include the installation of 1,500 slot machines as well as Poker Tables. This new state-of-the-art entertainment facility features three spectacular restaurants, a sports/dinner theater, 20 luxury suites, private accommodations for top players, as well as the world-class thoroughbred racing for which Gulfstream Park is renowned.

Gulfstream used to be one of the top race tracks in the country, and still attracted some of the top trainers and jockeys for the winter season up until a couple of years ago. Ownership basically tore the place down and rebuilt it this year into a restaurant/entertainment complex and de-emphasized racing in favor of low-stakes poker (the $1/$2 and $2/$2 variety that Florida is so famous for) and the soon-to-be-legal slot machines.

It's a nice facility. The best thing it will have going for it competition-wise is that it will be the southernmost facility in Broward County to have slots, which will probably attract a lot of people from Miami-Dade, where slots won't be legal.
