Its called bravo poker live, I talked to several supervisors today about it and hopefully they pass the info to the higher ups and get it working.
I definitely need this app........

Use the search function to search all. Then only the dozen or so that have linked show up.

The promo for November will be 80 hours in November and get a super satellite ticket which is worth either $250 or $275, I forgot.
There will be 3 super satellite days starting at the end of November and each one is for $2250 main event seats. each satellite day will be capped at 250(150 qualifiers and 100 cash buyers) and approx every 10 players will add another $2250 main event seat to the pool.

The satellite structure is 5k chips + $20 dealer add for 2k(7k total) 30 min. blinds and an ante structure.
Excited to hear about the WPT coming to Tampa, but man the monthly promos are getting cheaper and cheaper.

The promos were great the last several months but that was the slower part of the year.
Its going to get increasingly busy starting next month and super busy after Thanksgiving.
So In their eyes promos will not be as necessary.

Also they can't have those great promos every month of the year without running out of jackpot funds. So the busier months they will build the excess funds up again.

keep in mind they only take $1 out for bbj unlike $2 for the tracks and that funds the current $190k+ bbj and the 10k mini and the $500 royals along with all the promos.

Hi Jack. I think it's awesome when there is an active representative of a poker room in these forums. As such, you need to register yourself as a representative with twoplustwo or they'll ban you. Would love to see you on here more!

Welcome.

You have the potential to be the premier room on the west coast, however there have been numerous problems that have plagued the room for the 10+ years I've been playing here. Please read the entire thread, there is an enormous amount of information to be used to help the room prosper.

I feel bad for parisron- who has sort of acted like the ex-officio communicator for the Hard Rock Tampa in this thread.

anyway--- good see we have someone finally willing to interact via this forum


thanks to parisron and others who have helped answer questions of those who don't get up there quite as often

I guess Jack of Rock, whoever it is, has to contact 2+2 to get the official title of poker room representative.
Hopefully they will be active in this forum.

sidenote:The north parking garage is closed for some reason and parking traffic is thick today.

Probably heading up at some point this weekend to play PLO. What time does it usually get going? Does anyone buy in for more than the minimum? If it isn't going you can come find me dead-shoving $50 a hand at 1/2 until I get bored.

WTF... What's going on with the parking?

lol, I told you guys. Its the north parking garage that is closed and that caused all other parking to fill up.
I just kept going on I4 when I saw it and went to silks.

Structure problems with the north garage. Parking was an insane hassle this afternoon. I got there early, around 10:30, and it was fine. I left around 2pm for lunch and when I came back spent at least twenty minutes trying to park. I can only hope they'll have a solution come tomorrow night or I won't be playing there, which is kind of a bummer.

I talked to a dealer who said that on weekends they are forced to park about two miles down the road on Hillsborough and they have a shuttle bus ferry them to/from the casino. Maybe they'll have something like that going for customers. I know they don't want to lose the business it's going to cost them. If Jack of Rock could let us know sometime before tomorrow evening, we can plan accordingly and it would be awesome. Otherwise, I'll probably just call ahead if no one else has reported here, I'll describe what I find out over the phone.

There was no PLO today but provided parking isn't an issue tomorrow, I'm down to play tomorrow night. If parking still sucks, Derby will spread a 1/1 ($80-200) PLO that generally attracts some truly awful players. Let me know if any of you guys would be interested.

BTW, the game at THR usually only has a couple short stackers. I'm one of them but I don't hit and run once I double up, as long as the game is good, I'm staying.

I just called and they said the traffic is cleared up and there is parking spaces now. But North garage is still closed and they don't know when it will open.
I saw briefly on the 6PM news that is was closed due to a construction issue.

I would say get there early tomorrow, before noon and park in the regular lot because even if you find a spot in the south garage, if the north garage is still closed when you decide to leave then you might be grid locked in the garage with no way to get out.
