Lost Vegas.

As an aficianado of libraries (read: too cheap to spend money on books), I haven't purchased a book in many years.

I may have to make an exception. I have a feeling there may be stories in this one that will shock the sensibilities of Alabama librarians.

Slowly but surely following poker bloggers on twitter. I've been there a while but just started using it seriously a few months ago. Hook me up!

Longer hours and bigger pots makes a poker-degenerate happy

Always good to see my Floridian friends getting better options for their poker jones:

House bill supports 24-hour poker rooms, larger pots

The Associated Press
Pari-mutuels could expand poker room hours and pot sizes under a bill approved by a House committee.

Poker rooms at tracks and jai-alai frontons could stay open 24 hours, maximum raises would be $50 instead of $5 and maximum Texas hold-em buy-ins would be raised to $1,000 from $100.

License fees for slot machine rooms at South Florida pari-mutuels would be lowered from $3 million to $2 million and taxes on the machines would be cut from 50 percent to double what the Seminole Tribe would share under a gambling compact. That means pari-mutuels would pay 36 percent tax under a House compact proposal.

The bill was approved Monday in an effort to help pari-mutuels compete with Indian casinos.
