Jim Karol ands The Wiseguys of Comedy

Poker Training Network, Jim Karol, and “The Wiseguys of Comedy” descended upon the SportsZone84 sports bar in Ft. Lauderdale last night. The standing room only crowd was treated to a full menu of comedy, cards, and visual mindbending entertainment.

Very seldom have I seen all four acts shine so brightly in an intimate venue. The Wiseguys opened up with Perry Sak (third from left in photo) who got the crowd rockin’, followed by “Always Dangerous Dougie Almeda” (right side of photo) . By the time Lenny Travis (first on left in photo) finished off the triumvirate, it seemed like the people had already gotten their moneies worth. I laughed so hard I almost brought beer up my nose.

After intermission the truly amazing Jim Karol (the guy with the Jim Karol t-shirt in the photo…) took the stage. Jim mezmorized the crowd with astonishing, seemingly supernatural psychic abilities. Jaws dropped in unison as Mr. Karol crawled into our minds. Jim truly is in the “Amazing Business.”  Cards flew through the crowd and appeared in places that they never should have been. Melons split. Knives flew. It was kind of like “Gallagher meets Houdini” except without the sledge-o-matic. If you thought that Jim’s show is only card tricks and mental impossibilities, think again. Mr. Karol brings down the house with non-stop laughter worthy of any stage or comedian. He signs autographs after the show too

So support Jim and buy the new book “Psychic Madman” if you didn’t make it to the show. If you are smart, you WILL be there next time.

Here’s a little excerpt from the articles addressing the new bill:

The Florida Legislature approved the further expansion of poker in the state today, including the removal of a maximum buy-in for no-limit poker and the elimination of a maximum bet per round in limit games.

The new legislation also allows for casinos and cardrooms located at horse tracks, dog tracks, and jai alai frontons in Florida to offer the expanded no-limit poker, which removes the $100 maximum buy-in and the $5 maximum bet per betting round in limit games. poker tournament buy-ins limits will also be removed, as a $1,000 limit had been imposed from previous legislation. This opens the door for major poker events to consider Florida as a venue.

While Poker Training Network is non-gambling site, and major tournaments do not affect our education only software, this bill will allow for more entertainment in the form of live events to be held in our regional casinos.
