It says, "with UV400 for outdoor use".
Only thing is the tagline says "A stylistic design guaranteed to satisfy the taste of discriminating players from Alabama to the West Coast"
That doesn't include Florida.

Planning on stopping by tomorrow afternoon/evening, just wondering I see there is still the last day of one event and another tomorrow night at 7pm? Does this still allow cash games to continue as normal or do we see only a small # of tables dedicated to cash during these bigger tourney events?

Alot of errors in this tho. The places paid was 27 and entrants were 280 or so. Total prize pool around 140,000. It was the $550 deepstack.

They must have chopped like all the other tournaments.

Though I could agree with counting the house cut but not the dealer addon, which would leave it at 79k.

$313 for bbj table share. I'll wager at least three of the players took a net loss from it after staying at the table for the five hours it takes to collect.

Still, 79K is a sexy overlay...im 100% sure it will never happen again. Lol!

Did the final top 3 players chop at all? Im sure they did but just curious if anyone heard the scoop.

Got my 40 hour promo tonight: I asked the supervisor what sizes they come in and he said "small, medium and large." I said I'm 5'10" and 185 and asked what size he thought. The guy acted like I was barely there and gave me a bag that he said was small. Thinking it might be too small I tried on the hoodie and it fit. Only then did I notice it read "Large" on the label.

When I commented he said "Yeah, they're large, x-large and xx-large, so that's small, medium and large." Just a bit confusing for him to categorize them that way.
Anyway, I thought I'd give a heads-up.

In this country, those are the new small, medium and large. Glad to be down to a medium!

Long time lurker. A few questions here and forgive me if they're duplicates.

1. Is this the closest casino to Orlando? Coming from DisneyWorld area. I'm down there for a conference for a week next Tuesday and thinking about moving to the area.

2. What's the buy-in for 2-5?

3. Are there any promos for complete newbs (slot dollars, free meal, etc)?

4. If I were to come on a Tuesday around 1pm will there be any games running?

5. What's the BBJ up to and what qualifies?

6. Live in DC area - any significant changes besides buy-in structure that I anticipate?

7. Is rush hour traffic awful coming from Orlando? I'd most likely leave Orlando around 6pm each day unless I hear otherwise. DC traffic is AWFUL so I'm just curious.

Thanks in advance. I've enjoyed the banter here (read about 40 pages of this thread) and hope to meet a few of you guys.

Thanks pokerployment. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the max 1-2nl buy-in is $100 and the 2-5nl is up to $600 which is larger than many places I've played. Is this accurate?

Does the 2-5 run daily?
