I just got back from The Isle of Capri in Pompano. They’ve already listed their poker games for the new limits. It’s pretty much what you’d expect – the standard limit and no limit games. The only game missing is 1/3 NL.
The one really important thing that I noticed is that the 5/10 and the 10/25 have uncapped buy-ins. In fact, the sheet lists the buy in for the 10/25 at “$1000 – uncapped.” I would, therefore, assume that the $1000 rule is the most that can be required to buy-in (which is how the old rule was written for $100, by the way, but enforced differently.)
They also list a short-stacked buy-in for both 1/2 and 2/5. I really like playing at The Isle of Capri in Pompano, so I hope change that to a 1/3 NL with proper buy-ins, and a short-stacked 1/2 or something like that. All the players talk a good game, but I wonder how much the small buy-in game pulls players from the other games. When it comes down to putting up the $300 for each buy-in, I have a feeling a lot of players are going to balk and go to the 1/2 NL $50 to $100.
Time will tell. And that time is really soon.
