Hard Rock Florida info request

[zipo]

I'm headed to south Fla next week - just wondering if anyone had any info about the Seminole Hard Rock tourneys/sit'n'go's.

Earlier threads said tourneys in S fla may be shut down - is this true at the Indian casinos?

Also, does anyone know about sitngo structure/rake etc. at these places if they're still running?

Thanks in advance

SnGs -- they have several different structure.

Spent one night at Hard Rock Ft Lauderdale a couple of months ago.

If memory serves, the lowest one is something like $40, but you play on the poker video tables (live players, but computer dealt) -- it's a bit of a PITA, but it works.

The lowest dealer game is, I think, $135. Games go up to $500, $1000, sometimes higher.

The problem with the lower stake games (and maybe the higher, I didn't ask) is that the house take is pretty high 25% ish or no. With this much skimmed off the pot, I doubt it's beatable.

Sorry I don't have more precise information -- hope this helps.

this is the structure for the tampa tourneys, the hollywood tourneys are probably very similar.

buy in 1st 2nd 3rd
120$ 450$ 300$ 200$

225$ 950$ 600$ 400$

535$ 2400$ 1500$ 1000$

they also spread a 1050$ buy in but it never gets filled up. these tournaments run around the clock. as soon as they get 10 players it is a go.
these tourneys are easy to win if you have a moderate amount of skill.
the 120$ is a gamble, there are lots of really bad players that suck out all the time.

fyi, the dealers dont get paid to deal these tourneys. some places give the dealers a piece of the buy in for dealing tourneys but not in tampa, just tips.

Just keep in mind Hurricane Wilma did a lot of damage in the area. My sister lives 5 mins. away from there and she told me there are still places without power and a lot of buildings with missing roofs. I'm sure the casino is OK, but you never know.

search function. there have been several threads on this recently.

Thanks for the info fellas - I appreciate it.

I did a search, and I saw some threads about how tourneys in Fla casinos were shut down, but I didn't know how this affected Indian casinos down there.

Anyway, if I get to play down there I'll post a trip report. Thanks again all [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Thanks for that pointer.

I joke sometimes about tipping here, but when I play live (I hate to admit it) I'm a George. I know this admission will cost me the frankly meager amount of respect I have here on 2+2, but so be it.

I was there last week. The place sucks. slots and stupid sngs and very low limit poker only. SNGs were going, something like $65, ^140 and one bigger, maybe in the $300s?

HERE.

When were you there, JBB? I was out there last weekend having a beer with another 2+2er.

It was the same night Slacker was there trying to get in brawls. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
