ONE MONTH OF NL POKER IN FLORIDA

[dozer]

So ... it's been about a month of NL cash games in Florida. For those in the state, how have the new stakes treated you?

I am up exactly $222 over six 2 hour sessions, way way better than the days of the $2 max bet. All of that is thanks to a $281 session win where I got two nits to call my push with aces.

I played today at The Isle in Pompano Park, and rumors are flying that the Indians will introduce Class III gaming (blackjack, roulette, craps, etc.) soon, along with the non-Indians expanding poker hours to 16 instead of 12. There was also a rumor of Tampa Hard Rock expanding its NL spreads and limits this week. That's all I know.

Down .........and it's embarrassing.

Running bad........and probably worse than ANYONE at Derby Lane.

Getting hit over the head time and time and time again.

Fishhead.....

Take a road trip over to the East Coast of FL... maybe you just need a venue change....

Come see what the rooms over this side of the state look like...Isle Pompano Park is a nice room for sure, as I'm sure Dozer would agree..

Palm Beach Kennel Club is not bad either..

Hope you start running better...

BTW... -$150 for 22 Hours...

I'm about even maybe down 1 buyin or so playing about 15 hours total. Been running terribly the last few sessions but I also think I should play more aggressive to try and build a stack since playing with $100 is pretty bad. Should turn around soon hopefully.

Been 5 times at the Hard Rock in Tampa:
-4
+722
-3
+465
-35

I only play the 1/2 game. I want to try the 2/5 game, but I don't have the bankroll.

Disagree. 9 handed tables, plus the extra 3rd blind on the button puts you in a blind 1/3 of the time.

Also, if there is no flop, they rake the big blind on the button. Horrendous.

I will never set foot in the place again.

Yes it is probably still profitable, but this extra blind and the no 'no flop no drop rule' irritates the shiat out of me.

fish, since you seem to play at Derby Lane a lot, do you know off hand when they're starting the satellites for the 500/500 tourney?

They have started......believe they are doing 1-2 a day.

Not a satelite player myself and thus put my $50 deposit down for the September 30th tourney. There are less than 200 seats available as of last evening as the tourney is limited to 500 and 100+ are coming from the jackpot winners and satelite winners..........plus they have had sponsors gobble up 100+ allready. If one is planning to play in this tourney with $250,000 purse, they should enter this week and submit their $50 deposit. If you hit a jackpot high hand, your deposit is refundable.
