South Florida NL Hold Em
Well, since casinos can longer do buy-in tournaments I'm looking for some live tournaments in SoFla. There is:
http://www.pokertouramerica.com This is a daily tournament which is free ($5 tip to dealer) held at various bars in the area. I played in 1 lastweek and won, which means I can play for a seat at a WPT Foxwoods event but seems like an outside shot. Mostly very weak players at the event I attended Saturday. It's a pretty good time if you're just looking for a poker fix. I really don't like playing online so any "live" action is okay by me. And most people there were pretty friendly. http://www.acesintheholepoker.com/ I haven't played in this and since Wilma I'm not even sure if it's back up and running. I haven't received any reply email from the coordinator and no November schedule has been posted. Seems like it might be worth a trip. I'm wondering if any SoFla 2+2'ers are aware of any other options I have down here. I prefer tournement/SnG to cash games. Maybe other charity tournaments or a site like the Maryland (md-poker) for Florida? Thanks! |

Re: South Florida NL Hold Em
After some more research it definitely looks bleak for us Floridians as far as finding "legit" tournament action. However, we do have access to 2 cruise lines:
Palm Beach Princess http://www.pbcasino.com They have tournaments M and W nights with a $55 buy in and $30 rebuy. Prizes vary depending on participation of course. Top 6 spots pay off. They have cash NL games afterwards and always during normal times. SeaEscape http://www.seaescape.com No information on this. So has anyone actually played on either of these boats and can offer some feedback? I know the PB Princess charges $37 admission and includes 2 buffet's plus enterainment, this alone kills it for me but I'd be interested to hear about anyone's experience on either of these ships. |
