He said that poker must be legalized since the state of Florida is under financial pressure. At this point the state sees poker as a method to alleviate some of the tax burden of homeowners. He also said that the racetracks will be getting poker, and if that happens, the Indian casinos are automatically allowed to operate in this manner. This makes a lot of sense to me.

However, the guy I know is a businessman, and not a legislator, so he doesn't control the lawmaking process or the authority to make any of this happen.

please come true. I live 1.5hr from Seminole Tampa. I only go there once a month on Wed for the $100 tourney. Never play that stupid Limit cash game there with 2-2 Limit which is such. I hope they will get 5-10 Limit and up and 1-2NL will be nice.

Go FL go,,, FL gator can win now the whole state of FL can win b/c of this. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

If your guy is talking about dog tracks getting poker - some tracks have had them for quite awhile - two years or so.

I played in a dog track facility - it was fun.

I know there is poker at the dog track, its just for $1 and $2 limit. I am talking about increasing the limits to stakes that players care about.

Is there a good reason that you continue to seemingly ignore this other thread on the same subject?

It is a fact for me. My man was given a tour of the dealer training, and gave me a call after that with the exciting news. Like I say, he is a businessman and not a legislator, but management at the Hardrock in Hollywood is anticipating this. If they anticipate it that's all I can communicate. I am not the f#%king governor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Default Recurring rumors

I've heard that rumor from before the Hard Rock was built and it recurs every few months.

I actually hope you are right but i seriously doubt it.
