I wrote Dania Jai-Alai as well asking about their tourney structures and rakes ... here's their response:

"Until the Division promulgates rules on these various improvements, we are hesitant to be very specific.

We will be competetive with the market as to rake. At present the law allows us to either impose a flat charge or a rake, but not both.

We have spoken with the Division and expect rules workshops to being very soon. We will know at that time any limitations or restrictions placed on our games/tournaments."

Was this signed by the Gov? I read through the tread but didn't see it, maybe I just missed it.

I think the legislators made a mistake in the language of the Bill that was passed by both the Senante and the House. Section 849.086(8)(b)provides, in part, that " . . . a cardroom operator may conduct games of Texas Hold-em without a betting limit if the <u>required</u> player buy-in is no more that $100." The word "required" is not the same as "maximum" The word as used in the section would not cap the amount of the buy-in. Furthermore, there are no limits on the blind levels. In theory, a cardroom could have a unlimited NLHE game so long as the cardroom operator did not require a buy-in larger than $100.

I will edit this post since I mis-typed. The bill can become law without the Gov's signature.

IT has not been signed yet and must be signed by May 14, 2007 or it dies.

You are right. It can become law without a signature.

This is interesting. I guess this means that we could have 2/5 or 5/10 NLHE as long as you can buy in for &lt;=$100. Kewl.
