How good are nautical people at poker or betting at jai-alai?

We're about to find out.

The Triton magazine -- "nautical news for captains and crews" -- has arranged for a crowd of about 2,000 to hit Dania Jai-Alai tonight, according to the fronton's Marty Fleischman.

"The fronton will be hopping," he said.

Dania will have its regular 6:30 tournament ($50 buy-in), but is adding another $50 Triton tournament at 8 p.m.
