When will the limits in poker go up on Florida?
Poker players in Florida want to know when will the limits in poker go up in Florida? That is a great question. From my "inside" sources, it seems that there is a deal pending with the Seminole Indians. If the Seminole Indians do not approve this deal, then everything stays the same and the limits will NOT go up in Florida poker. Basically, they say that the deal where our beloved governor gave the Seminole Indians blackjack was overturned by the Florida Supreme Court. Therefore the fact that the Seminoles are still offering blackjack at the Hardrock casino is technically illegal. The deal has been reworked and approved by Florida legislators, but has not been signed off on yet by the Indians. In a nutshell, the new deal extends the Seminole Indians the right to offer blackjack, and allows the Florida poker rooms to extend their hours to 18 hours per day, and increased buy-ins on poker. Each Florida casino will have their own house rules as to the buy in of each game, however most will offer a $200 to $300 buy-in on the $1 -$2 no limit, $500 - $1,000 on the $2, $5 no limit, and up to $5,000 on the $5 - $10 no limit games. Tournaments will also get larger, as they will no longer be capped at $850 buyins. Look for the WPT to come to Florida with buyins at $10,000. Come on Seminoles, sign the paperwork!

Wow I agree Good Luck
ReplyDeleteJulie, my name is Jeff Weiner, and I am a reporter with the Naples Daily News. We are doing a story on online poker, and since you blog on the topic I would love to talk to you about it. Specifically the story will focus on whether online poker should be legal, and on the recent federal seizure of payments to online poker players.

Jeff, What's the deadline on this? I'm out of town through the middle of next week. You can quote me on this...There is so much cheating on online poker. I know this first hand! Besides for the computer viruses that poker cheaters infect their opponents computers with, that allows them to capture "screen shots" of thier opponents cards, how about the easiest and most common method of cheating? Either multiple friends all get together and enter the same online poker room, or one person signs in under multiple accounts, and has multiple hands at one table. I've seen it done. Can you imaging the advantage of knowing up to 4 different hands at one table? Of raising and reraising yourself, trapping some poor loser in the middle? Don't think it's not happening. How can our government allow the stealing of poor innocent players online?
