Poker Run ?????
 
If you had time and money to hit every poker run you could which ones would they be? Just want to know which ones people think are the best.

I have to laugh at the people that will tell you that this one or that one is the best when they have not been to them all. To be fair they should list the ones they have been to and then tell you which one of them is their favorite.

Take a look at Hot Boat mag's top ten list that would give you a start . And yes Jammin On The James is in there . :D

I have not done even close to all of them so I can only say my favorite and that is the Mohegan Sun Poker run. I like it because you get to run out in the open ocean to Block Island, no land in sight, dudes hitting huge waves right next to you, and it is INSANE. Then you go to the sub base where the navy boat points a .50 cal in your direction and you almost sh!t yourself. The partying is awsome because of the casino and although it is expensive, you get awsome food in a great atmosphere. I'm doing the Jaxsonville Run in a couple of weeks and they say that is one of the best so we'll see.

It's a subjective list just like anything else. If you've had a great time and zero/few breakdowns at a certain event, it tends to rank higher in your list than the others. People also tend to support/pump up their local events, as well they should.

I always recommend Destin (Emerald Coast PR) simply for the great beaches and beautiful water. Was hoping to make Jax this year but it doesn't look like it's gonna come through. I've heard nothing but good things about that one.

Havasu is still on my wish list. And, used to make LOTO each year for a family reunion but haven't been for the past 6 or 8. Plan to put that one back on my annual list as well (either the races or a PR).

As was said earlier, check out Hot Boat's Top Ten and start with one of those. You'll be right in the mix!!!
