they comp you [censored] at kennel clubs. you play for everything. the way i see it you are gonna have to call a lot with top pair top kicker hands because they will be going al-in with top pair 5th kicker. trust me on this. i played a lot of the stupid tournies florida had and couldnt believe the things i saw. also at first with only 50 times the big blind i guess its wait to your are dealt a real big hand then double up and start to play real poker. its real funny on how they want to limit the loss of one hand to 100 yet i have seen some players lose 1000 playing 2-2 limit hold'em in florida. also what happens if one player had 500 and the other has 550 and they get it all-in?

lol @ comps at the tracks. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I remember the first time I ordered something and got a price afterwards. I was like, "Huh?" I only order something to drink at the cardroom if I'm about to pass out and all the water fountains are down. And its not raining.

I agree with having the betting rounds structured normally. Same blinds on every street is f'ing retarded, and of course having $10 max rounds would have been ideal, as it would have allowed 1/2, 2/4, 3/6, 4/8, and 5/10. Now we will only get 1/2, 2/4, and then some kind of oddly game, either 2/5 or 5/5. I'd much rather have 2/5 so that the game maintains the betting structure that it's supposed to have. Same limit on every street is OK for $2, but meh to $5.

I totally agree, $10 max would have given so many more options and 2/5 is going to be a little kooky.

If only the blinds stay in after the flop and rake there will be a $3 pot (must be $10 before jackpot gets raked). If both players check the flop they will have to create an additional $10 pot to win $2 after having to pay the extra jackpot rake! That is so stupid.

I really like the spread limit because preflop you can protect a hand by potentially making the crazies pay $23 to see the flop.

These are Florida players we are talking about. Rarely only the blinds in after the flop. Often 5 or more at showdown.

My buddy was in a 1/2 game and had JJ in the blind. Folded all the way around to the button (!!!) who limps (lol). Buddy raises. Button gets agitated and says "You 'gun raise me when it just us two?" My buddy shrugs. Guy calls. Flop is T-9-2r. Bet, call. Turn 4. Bet, call. River 3. Bet, call. T3o good, sir.

I love this state.

I don't think I've ever seen a hand folded around to the button in a Florida B&M ring game.

I cant wait to be able to punish these players at the no limit tables...hopefully they stick around.

I saw it once (not the hand I posted). I asked for the tape.

Ok lets do the meet up thing for July 1, 2007!!

I've already emailed all the local cardrooms in Broward including Seminole but not Pompano, their website seems to be down. I've also emailed the Palm Bech Kennel Club as well. I've asked all the poker room managers to explain how they plan to handle the betting structures and the NL games.

Once I start to get some responses, I'll post them and we can move from there. I'll also try to find out if Seminoles plans to start at midnight since July 1st is a Sunday so they might start on Saturday night at midnight which might make it extremely crazy.

I don't know how they will handle that unless they plan on opening new tables instead of converting up and running tables. Their Saturday night tournament ($65 buyin) should be getting close to the last couple of tables so they should have the room to hold vacant tables in anticipation of opening them up at midnight. I'm sure its going to be nuts. I guess they would have to maintain an early sign up board which means the cash table desk is going to be working overtime. I hope they dont get nasty again like they used to be.

The Hard Rock is kinda crazy on a Saturday night so we will have to wait to see how they plan on handling the evening.

I'll stop in when the time gets close if I cant get any info by email.
