When: Sunday 1st August 2010.
Where: City West.
Time: 10:00AM
Alright guys, the Poker Run will be held at the above day and time.
I have limited the day to a Sunday as we will be stopping at some undercover car parks. We need to avoid Saturdays as they are a shopping day and parking may be a problem.
The cruise will start in the northern suburbs, and end in the southern suburbs. I won't name the locations for obvious reasons.
What is it?
The Poker run is a cruise with 5 stops, including the meet point and end point.
At each stop, players will select a card from the deck. The card will be noted and the player will initial their selection on an entry sheet. The card will then be returned to the play deck. The deck will be shuffled and the next player will draw a card, with the process repeating until all players have selected their card at that stop.
At the next stop, all players will select from the deck again. If a card is drawn that a player has previously selected, that card will be set aside and another selected until one is drawn that the player has not yet added to his/her hand. Once the selection is complete, the card that was set aside will be returned to the deck, the deck shuffled and the next player will draw.
The process repeats until the end point.
At the end point, the player with the best hand will be deemed the winner and will win the pot.
Split pots do occur occasionally where the winnings are divided among the players with the best equal hand.
What is the cost?
The cost of entry will be $10.00, payable on the day.
Any amount of people can play so passengers are encouraged to participate in order to increase the pot value. 10 players = $100.00, 50 players = $500.00, 100 players = $1000.00. Not a bad day out at all.
We will not restrict the organisers from participating as the cards are drawn in the presence of others and will be handled by a third party when the organisers draw for the sake of fairness.
What are the winning hands?
The hands in order of importance are as follows:
1: Royal Flush - A hand that contains five cards in sequence, all of the same suit to the ace. Eg: 10/J/Q/K/A all spades.
2: Straight Flush - A hand that contains five cards in sequence, all of the same suit. Eg: 2/3/4/5/6 all clubs.
3: Four Of A Kind - A hand that contains four cards of one rank, and an unmatched card of another rank. Eg: 2/2/2/2/9.
4: Full House - A hand that contains three matching cards of one rank, and two matching cards of another rank. Eg: 9/9/9/3/3.
5: Flush - A hand where all five cards are of the same suit. Eg: 2/4/8/10/K all hearts.
6: Straight - A hand that contains five cards of sequential rank. Eg: 7/8/9/10/J.
7: Three Of A Kind - A hand that contains three cards of the same rank, plus two unmatched cards. Eg: 7/7/7/Q/A.
8: Two Pair - A hand that contains two cards of the same rank, plus two cards of another rank (that match each other but not the first pair), plus one unmatched card. Eg: 5/5/K/K/7.
9: One Pair - A hand that contains two cards of the same rank, plus three other unmatched cards. Eg: 9/9/3/6/J.
10: High Card - A hand in which no two cards have the same rank, the five cards are not in sequence, and the five cards are not all the same suit. Eg: A/3/7/J/Q.
There are 311,875,200 ways of being dealt five cards from a 52 card deck, so the chances of two people ending up with the same hand are highly improbable.
There will be a few poker players among the participants so deciding the best hand will be verified.

Alright guys, the 1st of August it is.
The meet point will be City West as usual at 10:00AM.
Keep your Saturday beforehand free from a late night pissup so you don't lose your will to attend due to a massive hangover. Make the effort guys, it's only one night and you have a shitload of notice.
