Cool Chicago Poker Run

Hey I called about the Chicago poker run last week and He said that There are only 25 entries. Just wondering what the deal is. I have always heard that it sells out right away. I dont want to drive from Saint Louis to Chicago for a 25 boat poker run. Any INFO???

Trust me thier will be more than 25 boats. Most of us members wait till the last minute to sign up . Last year people didn't show up and others did and we still made quota of 80 boats with 6-8 foot swells.
Plus there are about 6 of our boats going to the Frankie and Louie run on June 9th. I f you go down for that you can meet some of us ahead of time .

Cool

Thanks for the info man. I am sure I'll be at the lake that weekend I will have to try to meet up with some of you guys. I would really like to go to the run in Chicago and most likely will. Just wanted to get the scoop on the lack of entries.

We cap at 80 boats...I can't imagine there's only 25 slots left at this point....? If so, I gotta sign my a$$ up!! Seriously, I'd encourage anyone who wants in to sign up as soon as possible, with SOTW off the calandar, Chicago may fill up rather quickly.

Oh yeah...you'll have a great time...we always do!

he's saying there is only 25 boats registered at this time and worried there won't be a big crowd.

There will be.

Default Chicago Poker Run 2007






We are a not-for-profit club. Once we hit 85 boats, the doors are closed. The way it looks now, registration will be closed sometime in June. In fact, registration cost will increase on June 10 by $100. Our club members always sign up at the last minute. I will tell you that there are only 2 of our 160 club members currently signed up. I will also tell you that 0 of our directors have signed up. I have not even signed up yet.

Personally speaking...I'm a slacker! AHH there I've said it! Now the healing may begin.......i was there last year to help and it was a mad house registering boats.....i will be there again this year and hopefully be on a boat this time!
