Tampa Bay Downs isn't open daily, is not smoking permitted, and it's hours are 12-12am....They're closed now until December, I think. They are only open during racing season on race days....(Not being a dick in this post) just correcting it cause I've been there like 100 times...:lol:

Thats awesome if Tampa Bay downs plays crazy pineapple. that game is great.
I also hear Derby lane is playing this retarded (2 flop) hold em game?!?!
Pretty much they deal out the cards and then there are two flops ,, so like two pots..which is crap.

How far are you willing to travel?

Try www.slickdealpoker.com

Has locations in Largo (about an hour drive) that are non-smoking. (Playmakers and AJ's Sports Bar and Grill) They have games every night, 7 days a week, rotating locations. Starts at 7 and 10 pm. The people are friendly enough for a beginner (me) and you'll see a lot of the same people every time (at least, at the 2 places I've been). Best of all, it's FREE. Winner of each round (7pm and 10pm) wins a bar tab.

In Holiday I just found 2 places that play, one Monday nights, one Tues, Thurs, Sat, Sun. but I have yet to go. One is Danny's and the other is the Shipwreck Lounge, both on Grand Blvd. Shipwreck Lounge allows smoking (just a bar), not sure about Danny's. They have food, I assume it'll be non-smoking.

Shipwreck Lounge is Tues, Thurs, Sat, Sun. Sign up is at 7pm, game starts at 8pm.
