In this study we present the projected capabilities and detection limitations for the PALM3000 extreme adaptive optics system to directly image super-Jupiter planets around nearby stars. Commissioning for the PALM3000 is planned for the summer of 2011. Probability for a detection was modeled using a Monte-Carlo simulation written in IDL. The contrast curve relation with Palomar's detection limits in the H-band was used as the constraint for detection of a randomly sampled planet with a mass, eccentricity, and distance on the semi-major axis, around a randomly sampled star with a given mass, age, and distance from Earth.
