Hey Fossilman what do you think?

Florida statute 849.086 was recently amended to provide that:

"A cardroom operator may conduct games of Texas hold-em without betting limit if the required player buy-in is no more than $100."

A common sense reading of this amendment would indicate that the min buy-in cannot exceed $100. State administrators have taken the position that the max buy-in cannot exceed $100. They have imposed this interpretation at the Hard Rock in Tampa.

There is not doubt that the Legislature meant the latter result. However, a fair reading of the statute, and applicable the rules of statutory construction (i.e. language use best evidence of intent) leads to the former result.

I want the statute to be enforced as written, but I am concerned about the reprecussions should I file suit. What do you think Fossilman?
