FLORIDA ALLOWING POKER GAME STAKES TO BE RAISED IN JULY!

[bocablkr]

This would be an awesome start to higher limits....

Just played in a SNG using the Pokerpro computer table at the Hard Rock yesterday and actually enjoyed it. Big plus is not having to tip the dealer after you cash.

Ok explain it to me slow cuz I'm dumb.

I'm mostly a limit player. The current laws in Florida only allow them to spread 2/2 limit (as opposed to 2/4, 3/6, 5/10, etc.).

if this bill gets passes and signed, what will card rooms be able to spread, as far as limit goes? Will they be able to spread 2/4 or 3/6? What about 5/10?

And if I'm reading correctly there are currently no NL cash games in Florida, only some god awful SNG's, but this bill will allow for like 1/2 NL with a 100 max buy in?

2/4 would be allowed but not 3/6. This bill would increase the max limit to $5 from $2 so I guess they could spread as high as 5/5.

As for no-limit, 1/2 with a 100 max buy-in would be allowed.

Is this correct? A $5 max on a limit game? If these laws changed from a $2 to a $5 bet- thats still lame [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

I want to see the rake structure for the NL games.

Yeah the bump from $2 to $5 is kinda gay but maybe it'll open some doors. They might as well make it $6 so we can have 3-6 but whatever. NL100 is nice though.

The key is the increase in tourney stakes. Games will now be very much worthwhile.

[1p0kerboy]

So are we expecting to see a 2/5 structure?

What do you think the blinds will be for the no-limit game?

Moose47 is correct - note, I said a start to higher stakes.

By-the-way, the SNG's are not that bad at the Hard Rock. The vig is a little high, but there is some big money there as well as a lot of tourists.
