max is 2/2 limit or SnG's in FL. Tough to find a room in Orlando. Search for a dog track or something. Indian reservation. I think Tampa might be the closest, and that aint close.Good luck

Man that really sucks!Well I guess it will be either a quick in and out trip, (you and Royal like those, huh Ron) or online poker while in that fine state of Florida!At least I live only 2 hours from AC and have plenty to choose from.I am probably going to head down to AC tomorrow afternoon, to see if I can get lucky and satellite into the US Poker Championships at the Taj.Thanks anyway Ron.

hard rock isn't THAT far away from disney...about 60 miles on I4...but the structure is horrid. lost some $ at the 2/2 holdem tables yesterday when some old c0cksucker called down my raises and bets with aces (i had jacks on a board of all low cards) then slammed his cards down in front of me, hitting my arm in the process, like he was proud to have extracted the least amount possible out of his aces.

Yeah that is complete bullshit! That's not poker, that's gambling. If I want to do that I will just go buy some scratch tickets or play slots.

if you can play o8 with any discipline whatsoever, you can absolutely clean up there. "how is my 68 no good on a board of 345JK?!?"

Sorry, I wasn't referring to your hand, just that the limit's blow and people will probably stay with anything and make it hard to actually make money.I want to see more variety when I go play, No Limit tables and higher limit tables too.

Then don't come to FL. No variety, except with the ladies. You like tourneys. The SnG's are nice. 140, 250 500single table. heavy rake.

i know what you were talking about, and it's not hard at all to make money at the o8 tables. it is difficult at the holdem tables....topset loses to the backdoor flush hitting T3 calling 3 cold on the flop right in the face. o8 is a gold mine.

There is an underground club in Orlando.....If you want to look for it...just search the 2+2, THP, forums.....I think the guys charge a time fee.....I have never played there....but a buddy of mine has and he says that even cops show up to play...so the place is cool.

Is there any other kind?That is the best kind, imho!I decided to just fly in, in the AM do my gig and get the hell out. I can play online or go to AC to play. Doesn't sound like it is worth the hassle. Thanks though for all the insight!

I can get you some games in Orlando, since I live here...As far as dogtrack/casino games go... I don't really play them too much. Max game you can play is $2/2. Hardrock is about 2 hours away from Orlando (it's just outside of Tampa). It's full of smoke and dimly lit... If you're going to drive all the way out to hardrock, go the extra 15 minutes and go to Derby Lane dog track to play poker. The staff there is much nicer, but I'm probably a little biased towards derby lane since I used to live close to it and I'm friends with lots of the dealers and floorpeople there.I think I know the underground club that he's talking about. I'm not going to mention any names since I don't want any of them getting in trouble since I've played there a few times and plan to play there more lol. I have a feeling that I know it though.There's some $2/5 NL and $1/2 NL games that are really good too. Both are on the outskirts of downtown Orlando. They both play a lot bigger then a normal game of that size. The $2/5 NL game has mostly everyone buying in for $2-3000, and as the night goes on theres over $35000 on the table. I play in the $1/2 NL more, and most people buyin for $2-500 in that game with a lot of $1000+ stacks later in the night. Usually around 4am they will switch the $1/2 game to a $2/5 if everyone agrees.

No, I think becoming a generate gambler would be strictly -EV!!!I love the degenerate that I have become, there is no going back baby!

Well maybe an hour and a half... I was thinking how long it takes me to get from my parents home up to my place in orlando, which is two hours. The time from when I pass hardrock to downtown Orlando is about an hour and a halfThat's if you get extremely lucky and don't hit dead stop traffic. But on I4 you usually hit some pretty bad traffic
