South Florida (Palm Beach, Broward, Dade) - Page 21 - Venues & Communities -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Hello everybody. I'm not so long in FL, my area is PSL and Ft Pierce Jal-Alai is good, but prefer to play in WPB Kennel club, is any of you participating in their rebuy tourneys? I mean 30 buy in/20 addon for 10k guarantee and 5 buy in/20 addon for 5k guarantee is pretty sweet for IRL poker for me.

How are the 5-10 and 10/20 nl holdem games in Florida compared to Maryland live?

I know that on the weekends there is 5\10 game in WPB, but only 1 table usually, and sometimes they open up 2-5 pit game with 300-1000 buy ins. Never seen 10\20 game.

Fort Pierce Jal-Alaj is 2-5 max.
Rest-IDK.

They've been getting some pretty big games -- deep-stacked 2/5 up through 25/50 -- at the Isle in Pompano recently. How they compare to the games at Maryland Live I would have no way to know. I don't play them, I just know they go off with regularity these days.

I heard Florida has a lot of good poker with a pretty soft player pool. Is this still true?

I am looking to move for poker and want to scout out some rooms. Which rooms should I check out?

Hi all, I'm in WPB for the holidays and would really appreciate if someone could help me procure some fine bananas.

Looking forward to playing at the Kennel Club. Was there once before: an absolute madhouse, like traveling back to the good old days.

Can anybody here speak specifically to the 2/5 NL action in the area? I looked through the threads for the Isle, Hard Rock Hollywood, and WPBKC but the posts are few, far between, and don't really answer my questions.

So looking at primarily Isle, HRH, WPBKC...where is the softest opposition? I saw one post suggested Isle midweek and HRH on weekends.

(And how do comps & rake compare?)

Thanks, peeps!

Coconut Creek, Mardi Gras and Gulfstream are all nice rooms with 2-5 action as well.

Honestly it's very dependent on the tournaments and promotions running the rooms are so close to each other that the player pool often overlaps

I'm visiting South Florida next week for a few days and plan on playing a couple of 1/2 sessions. Options are the Isle, Coconut Creek and the Kennel Club in Palm Beach. Any suggestions on where to play or what advantages and disadvantages are of playing in each room.

But in the big picture there's no real difference between any if the 1-2 NL games anywhere in the Ft Lauderdale area. Try all 3 rooms and decide which one you like best.

FWIW coconut creek and the Isle have solid dining options and above average buffets. The kennel club, not so much.

I don't think I may enjoy playing in a game where most people have $ 60 stacks and are folding or pushing all-in.

Should I think about playing 2/5 & how much do most people buy-in at 2/5 ?

Haven't checked it out yet myself, but for those in the area, I wanted to note that Dania reopened a couple of days ago. I'm heading to Vegas in a couple of weeks, but if I get a chance to make it up to Danica before then, I'll do a brief TR.

Someone told me today the poker room isn't open yet at Dania? He said it is upstairs, and elevators and escalators don't work yet.

Also during peak times any room will start a 1/3 interest list, and it sometimes runs. It sounds like you want 10 handed and lots o money on the table so choose accordingly. after hardrock i'd say isle pompano gets the most money on the 1/2 tables

I was at Gulfstream yesterday and another player at the table was talking about his experience playing at Dania a few days earlier, so the poker room is definitely open now.
