Re: FLORIDA ALLOWING POKER GAME STAKES TO BE RAISED IN JULY!
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Here's a thought. This is the plain text from the Senate version that has passed. "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." It seems to me that technically this could open the door for buy-ins greater than $100. Say for instance a cardroom lets you buy-in for anywhere from $100-$300. In that case no player is required to buy-in for more than $100. I don't think that is the spirit of the law but I wouldn't be surprised to see someone try it. [/ QUOTE ] This is exactly how this reads to me. The reguired players buy in should be the minimum. The house should be able to set the maximum where they want since the player is not required to buy in for that amount. [/ QUOTE ] I can't imagine that's what was intended, but that's how it reads to me.

Re: FLORIDA ALLOWING POKER GAME STAKES TO BE RAISED IN JULY!
When this bill finally passes I'm going to laugh a little on the inside about the comments made in this thread... as well as the other about FL legislation... and then I'm going to go out and enjoy playing at the casinos...
without the need for a constitutional amendment or public referendum....

[/ QUOTE ] Perhaps you missed the part in the statutes where they doubled the licensing fees per table from $500 to $1000. That's a lot of money for the State. In a time where they're looking to reduce property taxes and not create a deficit for the state I'd imagine this is something they do care about. I'm just amazed that the law is this close to being passed and yet you don't want to acknowledge or show support for it. This isn't like the past rumors where some guy in a cardroom who has a brother who knows a guy said it's happening. It's an actual bill that's already been passed in the Senate and has a week to be finalized and passed in the House. This is for real. Open your eyes. Show some support for this. It's an opportunity for poker to grow in our state and you're being a complete and total ass about the issue for no apparent reason except, perhaps, that you hate that you may be proven wrong.

Re: FLORIDA ALLOWING POKER GAME STAKES TO BE RAISED IN JULY!
I'm looking at reality. This is like all the baseball fans down here who every year think the state's going to pay for a baseball stadium and then every year they don't. That's not to compare the two issues, but to point out the blind optimism of those folks who can't see past their nose to understand the reality of the situation.
Believe me, I'd love to see it happen. I'll be out at the cardrooms every day playing if it does. But I just don't think it will. In the current situation, the House has five days to deal with three huge issues -- property taxes, homeowners insurance, a baseball stadium. They also are getting a lot of pressure on the no-fault auto insurance issue. The poker issue has no support in Tallahassee. None. Cardrooms do not support this particular bill because, as you pointed out, it would double their licensing fees for something that wouldn't come close to doubling their revenues. From the legislative standpoint, the extra revenues the state would get from doubling license fees on poker tables is a drop in the bucket. I'd love to see this happen. But if I were betting on it, I'd give 10:1 that this bill just dies under a pile of other ones this week.

Re: FLORIDA ALLOWING POKER GAME STAKES TO BE RAISED IN JULY!
Something that you guys may not have known is this bill originated in the house so they see little resistance to this getting passed. My sources have gone so far as to say he would be absolutely shocked if this didn't pass. Someone's going to be like "stop saying your sources who are they" dont worry about it. This is an internet forum and if you can't take it at face value and with a grain of salt then you should re-evaluate your situation
