Poker in Miami?

[pavement]

I'll be in Miami later this week and would like to get some poker in. I know there is some state law that limits bets to $2, but are there any good poker rooms that have tourneys? Any rooms nicer than others? I'd like to play some Omaha 8/b and other games too since the limits are low. Best place? Thanks.

The state shut down all the tournaments at Parimutel facilities recently, so if you go to any of those, you're stuck at $2. They play No Fodl 'Em. Some playing spread Stud and "Double Flop" Hold'em. You'll sometimes see an O8 game going.

Your best shot will be Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood. They spread No Limit Hold'Em SNGs for $140, $250, $520 and $1050. I am not sure if $520 and $1050 is exact, but its somewhere in that range. They also run $65 PokerPro SNGs. That's the automatic table with the LCD screen. The run various multis throughout the week, so either call or check the web site for the schedule. You can find $2 Hold'Em, Omaha and Stud here.

Good Luck

The SNGs are pretty weak. I try to stay away from the Limit stuff. Its not really worth playing.

The Seminole Casino, by the way, is just up the street from the Hard Rock, a few blocks south on State Road 7 (also known as US 441).
