Visiting Orlando this week and was curious if anyone had any insight on the rooms around here? I'm sure that's a silly thing to wonder because the people on this forum are the smartest people in the world and know everything.

Best poker Room in Orlando? (3 Viewers)

I was told to check out Bestbet Orange Park

I think the Best Bet locations are all up around Jacksonville area.
I was in Orlando a month ago and I think the 3 closest rooms were Orange City Racing and Card Club, Daytona Beach Racing and Card Club, and Club 52 in Melbourne, FL.
I'm not from the area though so I could be wrong.
Yeah just looked and bestBet Orange Park is about 2 hours north. Others have recommended Orange City (north suburbs about 30 mins and it has decent cash games). Beyond that its Daytona (60 min) or Tampa (75-90 min) or the BestBet trio (St Augustine/Orange Park/Jacksonville)
The Orange City Racing and Card Club is about an hour away, maybe just shy of. It's not as far as DeLand, which is where I drove every day when I was here last year for my skydiving cert. Not bad, but, was hoping to just kill a couple of hours locally while the girls had cheer practice. Last year I took time away to skydive, I vowed to be present this year.
Had a couple of hours free today so I went to Orange City, about 45 minutes using the express lane, and sat down with 300, max was 200, so I pocketed the 4 greens. Got down 50 and topped off. Play was mixed, but, mostly not good. I say for 90 minutes and cashed out 525. Pretty laid back room, they weren't rules nazi's. One guy made a "all out there" comment as he was putting out a large raise, and, dealer just said "be careful, they could be taken as an all in." I don't think anyone took it as angling, but, there was some babysitting going on.
They had several tables running between various HE and Omaha, but, no hi/lo. Chips were crap plastic.

Also curious to know what the fees and all that were. I live just outside Orlando so not all that far away
Rake at Orange City is 6+2. Kind of brutal for a 200max game if you're playing 1-2NL.
Games are generally soft. If you go on the weekend expect lots of jackpot chasers buying in short.

Just figured out Im 15 minutes away from BestBet St Augustine for the weekend, hopefully checking it out tonight or tomorrow night
Would love a trip report. I've been meaning to check this place out for a while but haven't been assed to make the 90 minute drive yet.
Eh. Tables meh, chips meh, dealers pretty slow. Huge high hand promotion on Monday so that might be why tonight was slow. Youre not missing out on much. Good food but rake was high at 1/3 (duh) and it was lots of misregs.
Sounds like Orange City, which is 45 minutes closer: good beer selection, good food, high rake (6+2), and lots of shortstacking misregs.
Thanks for the info and for saving me the drive.
Not a problem, thanks for motivating me to go. Im not the best player but had fun and broke even, cant complain but wouldnt be driving 90 mins to hit this place.

BB in SA is much nicer than OP. More players, newer facility.
+90 minutes to my round trip nicer?

Not sure about 90 min, but it’s nice.
I sure won't argue that the chips at BB are much better than the slugged garbage at OC.
