Relocating to Florida , B&M questions
I accepted a job offer at the Disney Corp. in Orlando and will be relocating right after graduation (3 weeks from now). I just set settled all the paperwork for an apartment in Lake Buena Vista, FL and I started looking up any decent poker leagues and card rooms within driving distance. The bar leagues are in full effect, so I have that covered but this was the closest place I found for live poker.Hard Rock Casino Tampa, FL
My question is for any of you that play here: Have you all played/done well at the daily SNG's? "$100 buy-in plus a $20 entry fee 1st place: $450 2nd place: $300 3rd place: $200 $200 buy-in plus a $25 entry fee 1st place: $950 2nd place: $600 3rd place: $400 $500 buy-in plus a $35 entry fee 1st place: $2,450 2nd place: $1,500 3rd place: $1,000 $1,000 buy-in plus a $50 entry fee 1st place: $4,950 2nd place: $3,000 3rd place: $2,000" -Also, what's up with the .50/1 blinds and minimun $20 buy-in that they promote on the website? Am I reading this correctly? "The following are the basic rules of Poker: Structured betting: $1.00 - $2.00 Stud games: Low-card forced bet = $1.00 Flop games: Small Blind = 50-cents Big Blind: $1.00 Minimum buy-in: $20 Rake: 10% with a Minimum of $1.00, Maximum of $5.00" -I'll be putting in some pretty long hours at work, but I can see myself playing at Hard Rock once or twice a month. I figure I can get my NL tourney fix playing the bar leagues and it will also help me network and find some decent home games. Thanks again in advance. Ivan |

I can't speak for the tourneys (never played), but played at B&M in Miami and as I understand ALL cash games in Florida limited to $2 fixed bets.
Don't cancel your P-stars or FullTilt accounts after moving. You might need them. So, are you Goofy or Pluto????????????? |

Re: Relocating to Florida , B&M questions
Your plan sounds good. From what I understand there isn't much real poker in Florida. However, through these toureys at the Hard Rock you might find a home game. Or you can check out the home game forums and I think there is another site, something like homepokergames.com...can't remember the exact web site. I'll see if I can find it

Legislation passed last week that should, absent a move by the Gov. to kill it, raise the max bet to $5 and allow for NLHE with a max $100 buy in. It will allow bad beat jackpots too. New rules should take effect July 1.

I'm really selective when using my only credit card (paranoid about establishing good credit). For some reason the online deposit just wasn't for me, and i had just started school blah blah blah.

Gotta pay your dues, though. |

You'll be closer to Vegas and can make the short flight anytime you want [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] |

I haven't had a full time job since I started school, but we'll see how this trainwreck turns out. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] |

I read something about a SunCruz casino in Cape Canaveral. They're supposed to offer some sort of poker.
