Cardrooms do not support this particular bill because, as you pointed out, it would double their licensing fees for something that wouldn't come close to doubling their revenues.

Do you seriously think that an extra $500 annually per table touches the cardroom profits? I'd be shocked if that change in licensing accounts for one half of one percent of their revenue. The cardrooms support this bill because it will bring in new customers and more money. If you seriously think for a second that the licensing fees would stop them from supporting the bill you have a lot to learn about... well... a lot. I can count business and government so far that you've proven to know nothing about. I can only hope that your knowledge of poker is inline with everything else you spout off about... in which case I'll look forward to seeing you at the tables.

So wait, the casinos pay an extra $500 annually per table. Tables have a $6 rake. Table paid off in 84 hands.

The house has this on its calendar for tomorrow (Monday). The session begins at 2:00pm so expect a vote shortly after. I would be astonished if it did not pass. There are 120 members in the house. This bill went to 3 seperate committees where it passed all three by a combined 32-6 margin. You can view the proceedings at www.myfloridahouse.gov

This would be an awesome start to higher limits....

Just played in a SNG using the Pokerpro computer table at the Hard Rock yesterday and actually enjoyed it. Big plus is not having to tip the dealer after you cash.

Ok explain it to me slow cuz I'm dumb.

I'm mostly a limit player. The current laws in Florida only allow them to spread 2/2 limit (as opposed to 2/4, 3/6, 5/10, etc.).

if this bill gets passes and signed, what will card rooms be able to spread, as far as limit goes? Will they be able to spread 2/4 or 3/6? What about 5/10?

And if I'm reading correctly there are currently no NL cash games in Florida, only some god awful SNG's, but this bill will allow for like 1/2 NL with a 100 max buy in?
