Legal Question in Entertainment Law in Florida

poker

ok ive reaserched and it states that if the people know everyone at the game it is cosidered a legal friendly game and cash can be involved. i work in the military and was wondering if that would work if i were to host such game or games and charge merely for the cost of food and such making no profit at all. would it still be deemed legal?
