You aren't subsidizing our insurance as much as you are our lack of state income tax.

But thanks a bunch anyway.

Wrong. I would think you would be better-read on the topic, given the events of the past 15 years, and presuming you're a homeowner in FLA. There are very good reasons why your insurance rates are going up - and they're still not finished approaching the true market rate.

What are you talking about?

If you want to debate our insurance rates so you can make yourself feel better about the property you own in Florida, take it to OOT and start a new thread instead of trying to threadjack this one. Your masculine chest-beating and grunting is hardly appreciated here. This thread is about the victory for poker players in Florida. At long last we don't have the worst poker legislation in the nation.

Now if only we could figure out how to punch those voting ballots.....

Insurance talk + Trash talk re: taxes = dying thread.

See you all 7/1/07$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

You should probably direct your comments to the person who started talking about insurance rates.

The hours of operation (max 12) is disappointing because unless they begin at 2:00 PM and end at 2:00 AM, the tournaments will continue to have their "Turbo" blind structures in order to get the game completed before the place must close.

I don't know about anyone else, I am not going to plop down several hundred dollars let alone $800 to play in a tournament with $2500 in starting chips with blinds starting at $50 and $100 with 15 minute levels. That may be OK for the current $45 but not for $800.

Aren't you referring to Dania? This does not apply to the Rock. Dania poker tourneys are ridiculous anyway. I played one and never went back. In the first hour the blinds went to 400-800. The Rock has some MTT's with very good structures in comparison.

I'm just amazed that the law is this close to being passed and yet you don't want to acknowledge or show support for it.

Yes. And exactly where is the support and who has been lobbying for this? I will gladly do my part in joining the fight but seems that it;s always a big secret. You don't see anything at the hard rock asking for support.

Slacker13:

You do know that this has passed and is only awaiting the governor's signature? And that it has nothing to do with the Hard Rock's tourneys or hours of operation?

[Truthiness24]

Yeah, they don't care at Hard Rock ... the tribe does more or less what they please in these matters, and it only gives lip service to FL law. If they were following FL law to the letter right now, they wouldn't be doing those $200, $500, and 1k STTs.

In fact, the passage of this law creates more competition for the tribe.
