FL Hard Rock shut down..... poker back to petty stakes..
Well the mayhem and free money are at an end.
The state just capped the buy ins to $100. Think the last 5 days will be remembered as the peek at the promised land, before being yanked back into poker hell. |

This could be a golden opportunity to organize poker players in Fla. Too bad we don't have anything to organize them with.

Re: FL Hard Rock shut down..... poker back to petty stakes..
OK, im over banging my head against the wall.
This is the extent of what I know. Around 5PM today representatives of state law enforcement spoke with management of the hardrock casino in hollywood and the coconut creek casino. Afterwards the players were informed that they may continue to play with the chips and cash that was at the table (and OMG was there a [censored] load of cash on many of the tables at hardrock) but they would be limited to rebuying to $100. now ... asumptions follow. It seems that we have a typical political powerplay here with the seminols saying that the IGRA (indian gaming regulatory act) permits them to offer class III gaming when it was offered in other state venues, and the state officials who want to either protect their share of revenues from the taxable class III games, or take a grandstanding, or moral approach (who knows?) It is similar to california with the medical pot issue, except in reverse, the feds seem to say its legally ok, while the state says no.... It appears that it will end up in court for a bit. IMHO the seminoles have the legal high ground but can be threatened by the state and local government with withholding of privelages (aka.. power, water, sewer, waste management, roads.. etc..) I'll reply more coherently when I am not drinking myself silly [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] ... yeah the games were really that good... Im a (no [censored])very slightly positve 5/10 NL player on line (and mainly a SNG specialist, just a above average cash player) I was averaging more than 5K a day since the first. RIP [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] may the poker gods bless us with a legal seminole victory before the winter months when the snow birds return with their fat wads of cash. |

Native Americans v. State and Federal Gov'ts. Not a great Win-Loss record.
