[Atomic]

Okay, Charlie - sign it now!!

[UATrewqaz]

Any idea when the bill will be signed and/or take affect? Or approximations as to when card rooms will begin spreading the new games?

Anyone got friends in high places in the card rooms down there?

[Atomic]

It would take effect July 1st.

do you guys think this will open the door for higher staked NL games?

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.

Sign it Crist gogogo

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