ONE MONTH OF NL POKER IN FLORIDA

[facepull]

you know there are some books to learn how to play. also playing free on the internet can help alittle. plus this web site. and if these idiots dont take advantage of all this then to hell with them. when they go homeless there will be plenty more players to step into their shoes.

Less than 100 spots remaining for the 500@500 at Derby Lane on September 30th.

That tourney is not very good at all. According to the formula in the book the tourney formula. a solid tourney gets a # of 10 or more after calculations. The derby tourney gets a 7 and for $500 that sucks. by comparison the deepstack events at venetian got 14.5 on the $330 and 20 on the $550. One of the worst donkaments in vegas was at paris the $65 and that gets a 4.5 . the number refers to patients factor. the higher the # the more patients you can have in a tourney. the 6pm tourney at Tampa dogs gets a 6.

First off, I don't consider myself a great player and have only been playing for about a year. Yes, I'm a winning player (both cash and tourney) and I usually go deep in tourneys.

Just moved to TPA from SoCal and had a chance to play 3 midday tourneys at Derby Lane and a short session of 1/2 NL at Tampa Downs. My impressions so far, whole lotta a donks!!

2/3 Final Tables, + $90
1 hour cash + $320.

Total hourly rate $68.

I just buckled down and played extremely TAG with position and did very, very well. Didn't get fancy or pull any big moves.

The cash game was crazy with almost 1/2 the hands dealt seeing a $15 - $30 PFR and multiple callers with several pots getting upto $400+ at showdown. My biggest surprise was all the level 1 thinking and the total lack of people paying attention to other's table images. I played 2 hands in 4 orbits and still got tons of action from 4 players when I 3 bet an UTG raise from a fairly tight player who was the CL.

I only lost 1 big pot when I had 2 players in front of me all in when I flopped an open ended str8 FD with overcards. Sadly, I didn't hit any of my million outs to take that $500 pot too. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I don't think I've ever seen this kind of action from a midday reg crowd in SoCal.

I was not expecting to be very happy with the laws/structures in FL but the Donks giving up $400 pots make up for it.
