Sit down, hang on, have fun? Poker runs aren't necessarily that exciting during the ride but you can meet some great people at the stops. Check out the other bikes, talk with people, etc.
Royal FlushA straight from a ten to an ace with all five cards of the same suit. In poker all suits are ranked equally. Straight Flush Any straight with all five cards of the same suit. Four of a Kind Any four cards of the same rank. If two players share the same Four of a Kind (on the board), the bigger fifth card (the "kicker") decides who wins the pot. Full House Any three cards of the same rank together with any two cards of the same rank. Our example shows "Aces full of Kings" and it is a bigger full house than "Kings full of Aces." Flush Any five cards of the same suit (not consecutive). The highest card of the five determines the rank of the flush. Our example shows an Ace-high flush, which is the highest possible. Straight Any five consecutive cards of different suits. Aces can count as either a high or a low card. Our example shows a five-high straight, which is the lowest possible straight. Three of a Kind Any three cards of the same rank. Our example shows three-of-a-kind Aces, with a King and a Queen as side cards - the best possible three of a kind. Two Pair Any two cards of the same rank together with another two cards of the same rank. Our example shows the best possible two-pair, Aces and Kings. The highest pair of the two determines the rank of the two-pair. One Pair Any two cards of the same rank. Our example shows the best possible one-pair hand. High Card Any hand not in the above-mentioned hands. Our example shows the best possible high-card hand.
Hopefully meet some cool people and see where the day goes. Poker run is just the start of the day. Meeting some people and joining in on pointing the compass in a direction and hanging on....gets fun.
During the run itself....often some inexperienced riders trying to show off by gunning and braking and gunning and braking and gunning and braking in the column. Give 'em a stern "f$*K off and keep back" look...those are the ones that tend to slam into the back of someone.
I get the Poker part.. I just didn't know as a passenger what I need to do to not be a pain in the ***!
I said Poker but he can do whatever!
There's not much for a passenger to do. My OL tries to pick good cards, flashes her ***** now & then, and just enjoys the ride. There's no real etiquette, but as a passenger, she enjoys it much more if the stops are at BARS.
Don't over think this. You'll be fine!
