[jhardin3]

I am posting these hands per request by a buddy of mine who is down in Tampa and wants some feedback on a few hands he played today. I did my best to get all the pertinent information, but can call him if we leave anything out.

The Florida cash games started today, and our hero sat in the first 2-5, and 10-25 games spread, the following hands are from the 25.

1. about an hour into the game, Utg makes it 75(4200 behind). Utg was very agressive, bought in short and was showing a willingness to gamble. Hero is in 3rd position with KK, raises to 225. weak passive SB(1k) calls, SB calls.

Flop J73 2 spades. check check to hero, hero checks.
Turn check check, hero bets 300 SB folds, Utg asks if hero can beat AQ, mucks, hero shows KK.

2. An orbit later, Hero (covers) limps with TT in 2nd pos. 3 limpers behind, SB(UTG from previous hand, 3k)raises to 350. Hero calls, heads up to a flop of QT4r. SB leads for 500, Hero????

3. Ep limper, Mp (Solid Tag, hadn't shown down any hands) raises to 100 Steal calls, hero calls in CO with 89spades, BB and limpers call.
5 to a flop of 963r one spade. checks to MP, who bets 350(1800 behind). folds to Hero, calls. HU to turn of Qc rainbows board. EP bets 900 with 900 behind Hero???

4. One of the more solid players opens in EP for 250,with 4k, folds to Hero (Covers) on button w/AQspades. hero calls
Flop AK3 one spade, Villan bets 125, hero raises to 300, villan instacalls.
Turn 3c rainbows board, check, check.
River offsuit 8 Villan Bets 200 Hero???

5. Villan (4k) from hand #4 makes it 250 from 2nd pos. Folds to hero on button with Black Aces. Hero Repops to 1k. Villan thinks, counts stack down, calls. Flop 774 2 clubs Villan checks Hero????

I didn't know whether to post the results or Hero's whole actions, but can post now, or wait for feedback, which is requested on all streets.

Thanks in advance!

2. Based on read of UTG being willing to gamble I would just shove hand 2. He only has 2kish behind and could talk himself into a call with a wide range of hands it seems.
3. Fold turn
4. River was ?? Regardless seems kind of blockingish so I lean towards flat calling but a raise to 900ish if you think you can get him off AT, AJ, AQ is an option to weigh.
5. PF good, bet 1500ish snap call shove

some1 was telling me a while back that florida was going to be changing their legislation for gambling, has it already happened?

Are the 10-25 games they are running uncapped? and also are there any funny rules that limit the betting in any way?

[future]

1-2, 2-5, and 5-10 with 100bb max buy-in
5-10, 10-25, and 25-50 uncapped.

This is for the one in Hollywood fwiw.

I thought they could only play 1/2 and 2/5 NL? what is it with all this madness? This could be drastically changing my moving plans...

"I was at hollywood this morning at 8. There were short lists then but the 1/2 list got long enough to warrant a new table pretty quick so I was playing. They started spreading 10/25 nl uncapped and it was insane. Then after awhile they opened a 25/50 table where people were buying in for as much as $30k. The games weren't as great as I had hoped but I will go back and play a little more before deciding to stick with online "

yeah the same is true for the Tampa HR. The only strange thing about the game was the buy-in procedure for the 10-25. To play, you had to buy a rack of red, bring it to the table, put down a hundred, and then in a different motion add on the other four. After that, you could add-on for whatever you wanted, but the staff was very deliberate about the procedure. Some of the dealers were making the players literally put down the hundred, turn around 360 degrees, and then add on...

Strangely, there was no 5-10 going, so the limits jumped straight from 2-5 to 10-25.....

also, the majority of these dealers have never dealt any live action bigger than 2-2 limit, so there were some incredibly nervous dealers, some who apparently could not manage any kind of composure when facing dealing a 10-25 game...

Edit; Also, they have ordered bigger chips, but for now, the largest denomination chip in play was $5, which probably affected the way the game played to some extent.... the room completely ran out of chips, and the chiprunners were cashing out racks of red in the 10-25 game in exchange for $100 bills...
