What is A Poker Run?
A Poker Run is an organized motorcycle event where riders travel over a prescribed course and at designated stopping points and select a poker card. At the end of the run, the person or persons with the best poker hand or hands, wins the prize they have been playing for. Poker Runs usually require an entry form to be filled out and a fee to enter. . The rules for Poker Runs vary depending on the event.
Be Responsible -- Do not drink and ride your motorcycle
Poker Hands
There are many ways to set up and do a Poker Run or Poker Run Tour so it is always best to ask the people promoting the run what their rules and policies are.
At every Poker Run or Poker Run Tour promoted by Sonny Productions, Chopper Road Shows or Motorcycle Poker Runs we keep the ride relaxing, interesting and enjoyable.
We use the standard 5 card hand on all our rides. All cards in poker are ranked, or valued, in the following order. From lowest to highest in each suite: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace. I have listed the lowest hand to the highest hand below.
High Card: In a poker hand with no winning combinations of cards, the high card wins. That card is determined by the ranking above.
One Pair: Two cards of the same value with three extra cards that do not combine in any desirable way.
Two Pair: Two pairs of cards with the same value each pair having a different value. One extra card is present.
Three of a Kind: Three cards of the same value with the remaining two cards not combining in any desirable way.
Straight: Five cards of sequential value and differing "suits" (spades, clubs, hearts or diamonds).
Flush: Five cards of the same suit that are not all sequential.
Full House: Three cards of one value, and two cards of another value, sometimes called a "full boat".
Four of a Kind: Four cards of the same value with one extra card present.
Straight Flush: Five sequential cards of the same suit.
Royal Flush: A Straight Flush that consists of the five highest value cards, 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace.
Each level of value beats all levels below it. For instance, even the lowest Three of a Kind (Twos) will beat the highest Two Pair (Aces and Kings). If two players have the same type of hand, the player with the higher value cards wins the hand. For instance, the player with three Jacks beats the player with three Eights. Extra cards only matter if two players have otherwise identical hands. For instance, if two players each have Two Pair consisting of Tens and Fours, the player with the higher value extra card wins the hand.
