Re: FLORIDA ALLOWING POKER GAME STAKES TO BE RAISED IN JULY!
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.

Furthermore, seeing as how these rooms charge the most insane rakes in the universe on their games and tourneys now, I can see a MINIMUM $6/pp time charge per dealer in the no limit game, which makes the $100NL a farce unless you get lucky and build a monster stack. And to do that, you'll have to sit in for a few hours, then stay for a few hours, which will cost you quite a bit, all things considered. [/ QUOTE ] That's the table charge in Detroit. Plus contribution to the Bad Beat jackpots. Kinda sick, $6 per half hour, really.

Re: FLORIDA ALLOWING POKER GAME STAKES TO BE RAISED IN JULY!
Moose47 is correct - note, I said a start to higher stakes.
By-the-way, the SNG's are not that bad at the Hard Rock. The vig is a little high, but there is some big money there as well as a lot of tourists.

Re: FLORIDA ALLOWING POKER GAME STAKES TO BE RAISED IN JULY!
If this passes, I'm going to be upset. This will leave Colorado as having the undisputed worst legal poker in the country. ($5 max bet, no NL or PL). I've always been able to console myself by sayin "At least I don't live in Florida". No more.

I'm looking at reality. This is like all the baseball fans down here who every year think the state's going to pay for a baseball stadium and then every year they don't. That's not to compare the two issues, but to point out the blind optimism of those folks who can't see past their nose to understand the reality of the situation. Believe me, I'd love to see it happen. I'll be out at the cardrooms every day playing if it does. But I just don't think it will. In the current situation, the House has five days to deal with three huge issues -- property taxes, homeowners insurance, a baseball stadium. They also are getting a lot of pressure on the no-fault auto insurance issue. The poker issue has no support in Tallahassee. None. 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. From the legislative standpoint, the extra revenues the state would get from doubling license fees on poker tables is a drop in the bucket. I'd love to see this happen. But if I were betting on it, I'd give 10:1 that this bill just dies under a pile of other ones this week. [/ QUOTE ] PASSED PASSED PASSED PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU OWE ME ONE BUY IN THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
