the regulars at jckc are the stupidest moronic poker players you can possibly ever see. they will flock to the 2-5 no limit game because OF THE HIGHER BLINDS! these [censored] play that idiotic raise or fold every street hold'em game some a-sshole invented down south.

Anyone have word on what is going on with the bill. From the looks of it it hasn't been sent to the Gov. yet. What happens if it hasn't been sent and/or signed by the effective date (July 1)?
BTW facefull I went to JCKC this weekend and every dealer sid it would be 2/5 limit and 1/2 NL everyone was pretty sure there would be no 2/5 NL. However when I asked about a buyin cap and reybuys no one was sure what they were going to do.

john the cardroom manager told me 2-5 no-limit. but i think maybe some of his dealers have convinced him how idiotic that would be.

I heard 1-2 NL at my local room as well. They really need to get the bill signed soon though.

Crist just left for a five-day trip to Israel, so it won't be delivered to him before then.

I live in Ponte Vedra and sometimes go over to the Jax "Poker Room" when I want a good laugh and to see what people are talking about. Its always funny watching people wear sunglasses and pullover jackets playing 1/2 limit.

Despite the Governor's 5 day trip to Israel, 32 bills were sent to the Governor on Tuesday May 29...unfortunately, the "poker" bill was not among those sent...it will not be long now...also, the Governor has vetoed 4 seperate bills so far none among them of any significance. For example, one bill dealt with the practice of cosmetology (hair cutting), another dealt with an additional registration fee for boats, while another dealt with residential tenancies (residential landlord / tenant lease provisions). Nothing earth shattering ......yet????? Hold on to your hats!!!!

I am informed by a state representative that the bill is on the governor's desk and he is expected to sign it. I have also spoken to a floor manager I know at a Seminole casino, and he says they're having a meeting this week. The whole issue of a buy-in cap has people in a tizzie (though to me the language is crystal clear -- especially since the bill that was sent to Governor Crist deleted the word "maximum" from the phrase "required player buy in"). Governor Crist also said in an interview last week that he has already started the the negotiation process with the Seminoles and others for Class III gaming.

Well that's great. I was going by the daily report issued by the Florida State Senate posted on the government's website:

http://www.flsenate.gov/Session/index.cf...amp;Tab=session

(click on governor's action report) (the bill number is S0752) but if you have inside information that the government isn't sharing with the rest of the world then hey by all means lets have it.

Heard from 1 of the dealers in Daytona they will have an Ante holdem game with $5 blinds.They already spread it(Daytona Holdem) at the $2 level and the pots are usually over $150. With these players and the new limits the game will be SICK. I think I will stick to the 1/2 NL!
