Well, Florida, how did the first day of NL/$5limit games treat you?

I played a tournament at the Isle last Wednesday. Levels are still 15 minutes for that tourney, but at least you can start with 5000 chips after dealer toke. Of course, busted out 30 minutes in when my flopped straight loses to a 6 out rivered full house.

I was going to go straight to 1-2 NL, but decided I wanted to play another tourney, so I headed to Dania for the 8pm. Well, there was no tourney. From what the lady said, they are getting no interest in tourneys...everyone wants to play 1-2 NL. I looked around. About 8 tables playing. Looked like the 6:30pm tournet was on the final table already. Didn't bother to ask how many started. It just seemed kinda ridiculous.

Headed back to the Isle and got into a 1-2 NL game. Bought in for $100...cashed out $400 3 hours later. Game was soft. Guy 2 to my right rebought 7 times. He would call all-in with just about anything. I'm glad he was to my right. It was like a gold mine.

As someone else mentioned, the tables were beautiful. Dealers were not too bad. I had to go to the cage to buy chips and they asked how I wanted them. Waited about 15 minutes. Line was about 8, so they started a new table.

Not sure if I'd go to HR and wait 3 hours with the same game, just as soft with less wait. They'd have to get the high limits back to attract me over there.
