It all depends which one you go with...If you go to like KW poker run or Desert Storm about 14k but it's ALL worth it If you do a a small weekend poker run about 6k....

Entry fee to some here in the northeast are 200-400. I think key west is like 800. Then you have to add on passengers, fuel, hotels, etc.

I've done local runs that had $50-100 entry fees + 60 gallons of gas + food and drinks. There are a ton of variables such as Entry fee, how far to tow boat, how big of boat/gas tank, social drinker/social drunk.

Most poker runs are put on by not-for-profit groups and have a charity backing.

Some are put on by organizations that are a company.

Nothing wrong with either.

The latter will be more expensive.

Low end entry fee: $250-300
High end: $800-1200

*High Roller PR was $10,000 buy in.
