Default FLORIDA TO GET NORMAL STAKES POKER AND BLACKJACK IN JULY!!!

Just got a hotline call from the Hardrock. Can anybody else confirm?

Supposedly dealers are in training for BJ. Also, the Hardrock (Seminole Tribe) is negotiating for oceanfront property in Fort Lauderdale to build another Hotel/Casino.

The move is being made to give the taxpayers some property tax relief. I can't wait for my January vacation, Florida has the world's worst poker players.

please come true. I live 1.5hr from Seminole Tampa. I only go there once a month on Wed for the $100 tourney. Never play that stupid Limit cash game there with 2-2 Limit which is such. I hope they will get 5-10 Limit and up and 1-2NL will be nice.

Go FL go,,, FL gator can win now the whole state of FL can win b/c of this. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Can you define hotline call, give number...or quote it?
Also, can you define "normal" stakes poker?

Thanks

It is a world famous fat guy I know. He does business with the Hardrock and he says he witnessed actual humans being trained in black jack dealing. I have no reason to doubt him, since I am his poker tutor. He also buys percentages of me in tourneys.

My definition of normal stakes is 10/20, 20/40, etc.

Thanks

He said that poker must be legalized since the state of Florida is under financial pressure. At this point the state sees poker as a method to alleviate some of the tax burden of homeowners. He also said that the racetracks will be getting poker, and if that happens, the Indian casinos are automatically allowed to operate in this manner. This makes a lot of sense to me.

However, the guy I know is a businessman, and not a legislator, so he doesn't control the lawmaking process or the authority to make any of this happen.
