They have several boats. One may leave a port closer to you. Try http://www.suncruzcasino.com/
It will tell you all you need to know. The one in Canaveral offers free boarding, free booze at tables (not sure about poker tables), and even shuttles to Orlando. The one closest to you is a smaller boat but may have same amenities. Games are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFT.

Has anyone ever been on the Sterling Casino Line? i think it leaves from the same port.

what type of poker do they got there?

You can get a roundtrip flight to Vegas for a very good deal. That is your best bet in FL unless you like driving 900+ miles to Missisippi or New Orleans.

But not better. I got a $200 roundtrip flight from Florida to Vegas. You can't beat that on some bogus 3/6 cruise. You have to leave Florida to make any live game worthwhile.

yea all these costs makes the boat poekr game very hard to beat.

im going with a friend so rountrip in 1 car is a full tank so $40 split 50-50 is $20, which is about -3.3 bb's, entrance fee is $35 which is about -6bb's. Then there is tipping which i am not sure how to calculate. but i would be tipping $1 per hand won, how would u add that into the cost?

since dinner is included with the entrance fee lets remove $10 from the cost, which is +1.6bb's

So.. if beating the game for 2bb/hour the trip lasts 5 hours, u will make 11.6-6-3.3=2.3bb's whihc is equivalent to beating the game for .46 an hour. remember im still not including tips. anyone know the guidelines for calculating the cost of tipping? also is there any sklansky equiation to put a price on fun? thanks
