Default Poker in Tampa? (this week)

I am in Orlando with the family for the week. Friday is my birthday and the day is open for whatever I want to do.

I am looking into driving to Tampa and letting the girls go have fun while I play a tournament at the hard-rock cafe.

Has anyone played there before? Worth it?

There is a $100 tournament just after lunch I am considering

TP: if you wanna pick me up, I'll pay for gas and buy you a meal. (Payback for '08 )

I hated the Hard Rock and the tournament structure. The dealer's aren't friendly. The chairs aren't comfortable. It's dark. It's not fun to play at whatsoever.

Not to mention there was an issue with my player's card during a 100 hours satty promotion that i was trying to beat, and because of an issue on their end, they couldn't and refused to credit me 15 hours I had clocked at 1/2. It was pretty weak.

TP is unavailable anyway. I am not sure what to do with the day though. I certainly don't want to spend it walking around another theme park.

Another option for you is the poker room at the Daytona Greyhound track. It's probably about the same drive as going to the Hard Rock in Tampa.

Here's a link:

I have heard that it is similar to the poker room I play at up here in Jacksonville. And if that is the case it will be a nice room with fairly soft cash games and tournaments with decent structure. Just don't expect any of the freebies you get at the big B&M casinos.

I never did end up playing poker on the trip.

We ended up at the Vans skatepark in Orlando on my birthday, so I spent a few hours there.

I am getting back to grinding cash games online, but it will be slow going.
