Florida Poker room road trip?
Seriously considering a Florida poker junket sometime in the not too distant future. There are a number of times over the next few months that I can fly from Detroit to some Florida locations for $80. or less, direct return, all taxes in. Now with poker opened up to normal NL buyins recently there has to be a ton of really poor players giving it a shot... Kinda thought maybe get 2-3 guys together and do a traveling road show... Rent a car, plot out a route and give several rooms a shot.. FYI here is a website that shows some of the poker rooms in Florida... Any interest? Figure we would need 8-10 days to do it properly since Florida is a big state...
You're not retiring to Florida, are you? (waiting for the ban hammer....)
If it wasn't so soon after Vegas I'd be in. Maybe if I score big I've always wanted to get down there. So much cool stuff to see and do. (Universal Studios, Bush Gardens, NASA Space Center, Miami Dolphins game, amazing golf courses, etc)
Hope you guys have a good time!

Screw that, I'll retire in Vegas if anywhere... And for seeing that stuff, been there, done that, if this trip happens it will a tour of as many Florida poker rooms as I could fit in......
And I don't plan on this costing much, if anything. It will be funded by the new NLH players throughout Florida.... I think 4 people would be about right for a road trip like this...
Would you consider a real road trip. Like we use to do before orville. 4 guys in a car are there in 20 hours each getting 15 hours naptime. You spend that much time waiting in airports and rental car offices.

You mean drive to Florida? Been there, done that as well, although that was years ago. At some times I can get Spirit flights for under $100. Gas would cost more than that and travel time if we fly out of Detroit (including airport waiting time) is about 9 hrs max.. Do you not like flying?

Awesome girlfriend has shown she's able to get flights on Spirit for $9 each way. Just sayin.
And if you're seriously going to be down there around Nov 9th, I'll be there too! We're going to St. Pete's Beach for Nov 8-12. Might be able to sneak away and play poker. It's legal to drug women on vacation so you can go play poker right?

lol, I must be even awesomer..... I can get flights sometimes for $1. each way depending on destination/time... Actually anyone who is a Spirit Air member can.... Real price turns out to be something like $60-80 . when you add in the applicable airport taxes... Still great deals tho..
Just returned from Florida and playing a bit of poker. I saw and played in a few very nice very active poker rooms with lot's of action.
Isle Casino in Pompano Beach(just north of Ft. Lauderdale) was the nicest of the rooms. They had a cracked aces promotion going every day from 9-10:30 in the morning paying $500!!! I played here two mornings and it was paid out 6 times at my tables in those days but sadly I could not lose with aces when I had them! I believe this promotion was just for September but all the rooms have different promotions and draws going on.
Hollywood Hard rock was also a good room and the the best overall casino atmosphere I have seen anywhere outside Vegas and as good as anywhere in vegas IMO.
Poker rooms at Flagler dog track and Dania Jai Alai were dives and had an underground feel altough Jai Alai is worth the visit to watch it.
Best of luck if you guys make it down there.
Cheers
