Re: Relocating to Florida , B&M questions
There are several dog tracks, with poker rooms, that are in the Orlando area. I',m sure there is one closer than the Hard Rock. As was said earlier the hopefully new law allows for $5 max bet for limit and NL games with $100. Right now it is 2/2 limit and tourneys.

Re: Relocating to Florida , B&M questions
Hard Rock is slightly different than what website says. Tourneys are now 125, 250, and 535. Payouts are off a little bit too. They used to take the entire 10% jackpot rake out of the 1st place prize but now spread it over all three. Not sure what tracks are in Orlando area but I can give you the info on any of the Tampa area ones. Also like someone said above, everything is changing on July 1. Dealers have been complaining for days that they have to come in 4 straight Sundays to learn to deal no limit. I think these games might be really juicy as all the nits are so used to playing 2 dollar limit.

Re: Relocating to Florida , B&M questions
Ivan-it's true the FL cash games are capped(!) at 1-2 limit. I play at the Hard Rock in Hollywood-Miami area and those games are basically a joke--strictly tourists and retired people. The Tampa and Hollywood Hard Rocks are nice properties and can be extremely fun if you don't go there looking to make a substantial profit. The upside is that that they do offer higher buy-in tourneys and SNG's. Good Luck to you.

[img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] Not so quick to be happy, you mouse lackey. The Sanford Orlando Kennel Club in Longwood is the Orlando area dog track and while they are going to year round racing they don't have a poker room. Orlando Jai Alai also doesn't have a poker room. Strange how all over Florida the dog tracks and jai alai frontons have poker but the stuff in Orlando - no poker. I wonder why not? You need to ask your new Overlords why that is. The dog track in Daytona had a poker room and you can play their "DAYTONA HOLD'EM" - everyone puts up a $2 ante. I think this game will give way once the action junkies can move to a NLHE game in July but everyone should play it once just for the hellofit. Port Canaveral has 2 popular casino day cruise ships, the Sun Cruz and the Sterling. The Sun Cruz has poker on selected crusies and I am pretty sure the Sterling doesn't offer poker. Congratulations on your new job, I'm just sad that you had to sign your soul over to the mouse. Don't worry though, the pain goes away once your heart turns black.

Re: Relocating to Florida , B&M questions
Hard Rock is 45 minutes (60 mi.) from Disney, and is a step above most of the properties in AC.
Daytona Beach Kennel Club is 70 miles (through downtown Orlando) from Disney, and is a dog track. I've never been, but it's a dog track. Don't speed on Disney property - Osceola and Orange County sheriffs patrol and give tickets now.

[/ QUOTE ] You might have been saying this in a cynical manner, but you have no idea how right you are. I have recently been dealing with all the contractual side of this opportunity and it is getting a little scary. The fine print is mindnumbing and it's no wonder they catch us fresh out of the lake. On the flip side (and what helps me get some shut-eye), it's the first time I will have a steady paycheck that will allow me to play a little here and there without all the hassle of being a broke college student. I digress, we'll see how this train wreck ends. thanks again to all for the taking the time to give me a heads up.
