Daytona Beach Kennel Club Sign
It’s my final day and I am at Daytona Beach Kennel Club again, to play the $225 tourney. An additional $10 for dealer addon and $5 to the royal flush jackpot. The poker room is also having their annual freeroll event, winner gets to chose from 6 envelopes. 3 contain “Cars” (Mustang, Charger and Camero) and the other 3 contain cash $5k, $7.5k and $10k. Nice freeroll jackpots! While my tourney is playing, the table next to ours is the final table for the freeroll event, and the gentleman who wins picks an envelope that wins him a brand new Mustang!

Daytona Beach Kennel Club Sign
Today I played 1/2 no limit in the Daytona Beach Kennel Club Poker Room. Not many interesting hands for the first couple of hours, I fold a few pots and win a nice one with a turned nut flush and another with KK. However, I am in Seat 9 and Seat 1 is playing like a complete donkey. He has doubled up to $200 and is playing every pot. Calling Calling … and hitting! Poor players who get into luckbox mode drive me crazy.

Today I am playing the 7:00 Bounty tournament in Daytona. It’s $80 with $15 bounty on each player, plus $10 dealer addon and $5 to the jackpot (Royal Flush) for a total entry fee of $95. Bounties should encourage taking people out, so there should be plenty of action. 50 players sign up (pays top 5), starting stacks of 6,000 chips and blinds of 25/50 and away we go.

Lucky's Card Room Sign
Some friends of mine Mr. M and Mrs. J are joining me to play at Lucky’s Card Room in Tampa today. There is a $60 deep stack (10k) tournament today at 1:00. With a $5 dealer addon that’s 11,000 starting chips. This is a small and quiet poker room. Including the 2 tournament tables, there are 4 tables going here. Only 20 people in this tournament. Blinds are 100/200 and I raise to 800 with JJ. The flop comes KQblank. I bet 800 and my opponent folds. Whew!

Club 52 Sign
Today I went to a poker room / dog track in Melbourne, a few friends of mine have recommended this venue. Strange thing, it costs a $1 cover fee to get in! Never heard of that. 5th hand into a 1/2 cash game in a limped pot. I have T9 and the flop comes T97 and I win a $50 pot against T7. Wheeee. Small pots seem to be the order of the day for me. This crowd seem quite older than I am used to and there is really only one “action” player at the table. Another pot where I have AJ against the “action” player and the board comes JT7. I bet 10-call, blank turn, I bet 20-call, blank river, I bet allin for 20-call. He shows a T and I double up.
I play a few other small pots where I fold on the flop. I am definately not enjoying this poker room. I decide to cash out of this place for $60 and leave for the day. This place smells of urine and despair. Not recommended by me.
