BestBet (Jacksonville, FL) - Page 4 - Venues & Communities -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

just got back from my first trip to the new room. This place blows the other two rooms out of the water! It was my first time playing again in about 7 months and i somehow lost $30 playing 1/2 LH but im looking forward to going back again soon.

Does anyone know how many players they had for events 2, 4 and 5? Results are not on Card Player yet and I can't get on the BestBet website for some reasons. Thanks.

They don't have the bravo system installed at all. No comp tracking needed since they don't give them. lol

They are pretty good at filling in empty seats tho. The supervisors walk around with ipads and update open seats in realtime to the front.

Does anyone have a box there? I'm wondering what they charge, and would rather keep my bankroll on their premises locked up when I'm not playing rather than walk around Regency area with it in my pocket.

Thinking about going on vacation next week within an hour of this place, what games are normally running? Are there other casinos in Jax with poker?

There are 3: Jax, Orange Park, and St. Johns. Jax is by far the nicest. Normally have plenty of 1/2, 2/5, 5/10 NL and PLO 1/2. Even run 1/2 limit!

Bestbet Jax at Regency for the 5-5 plo game daily. Plenty of action. By the way these are card rooms, not casinos. No slots or table games. Only poker and dogs/ponies.

Hello all. I was considering spending a couple of months in Florida this winter surfing and playing poker. I had a couple questions. Thanks in advance for any answers.

Is bestbet garnering the most action outside of Tampa or South Florida right now?
What are the min/max buyins and how much is rake?
What kind of 1/2 and 2/5 action can I expect throughout the week and on the weekend?

Thanks again!

3. 2/5 action is great. A few decent regs but mostly pretty bad players. The one issue I have occasionally is getting on a table with no money on it. I wish they'd up the min buy-in a little bit.
