Your memory is extremely faulty. Seminoles put a lot of money and effort into killing that referendum.

IMHO.........I think the compact does not address the "12 Cumulative hours" issue, so they will continue with the 24 hours..........also the tribe will interpret the "However, a cardroom operator may conduct games of Texas Hold-em without a betting limit if the required player buy-in is no more than $100."
just as we would all hope they do....REQUIRED..ie: you are not required to buy in for more than $100, but you can if you want to.......

If this proves to be the case, then the parimutuals will be even more pissed and may take another look at their own interpretation of the legislation....

who knows....

the legislation is HERE

Funny thing is the lottery in FL .......a bunch of people pissin away their hard earned money.......completely acceptable...lose as much as you want

Double standards....you gotta love 'em

So the bottom line of all this is:

Florida poker has not changed at all yet and doesn't look like it will change soon after these new laws were passed.

I knew the Rubio grandstanding was coming, I just thought it would happen sooner.

Rubio has been very vocal with his opposition ever since the compact negotiations started, this is just his c-bet.

Gellar is also making noise about the comapct. This is to be expected since the south Florida pari-mutuels have both Gellar and Rubio in their pockets.

Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum is also being very vocal in his oppositiion.
