5k Poker Run
RULES:
5 Decks Straights over Flushes
5 Card Texas hold-em style
Each runner will receive 2 picked up (or hole) cards that only they can see. Three community cards (known as the "flop") are dealt face-up on the table. The player's hole cards are revealed when they return from running and the player with the best five-card poker hand wins the pot. Straights over Flushes!!
Your five-card hand can consist of none, one, two, or all three of the hole cards along with your two of the community cards. If two or more players share the same best hand, the Fastet runner wins the hand or the pot is divided equally among the winners.
High Card: Cards are ranked deuce (2) as the lowest to ace as the highest. If two or more players have the same high card, then the second-highest card (and so on, to the fifth card if necessary) determines the winner.
Pair: A pair (two cards of the same rank) beats high card. The highest pair is a pair of aces. If two or more players have the same pair, then the highest of the three remaining cards (known as kickers) determine the winner.
Two Pair: Two pairs beats a pair. If two or more players have two pair, then the highest pair determines the winner. For example, a pair of aces and four beats a pair of kings and queens. If two or more players have the same two pair then the fifth card kicker determines the winner.
Three of a Kind: Three of a kind (three cards of the same rank) beats two pair. Three aces is the best of these. If two or more players share the same three of a kind hand, the two remaining kickers determine the winner.
Straight: A straight beats a flush. A straight is five consecutive card ranks. Aces can be high or low so the lowest straight is ace through five while the highest is ten through ace. There are no kickers with straights since all five cards are needed to make the hand.
Flush: because it is easier to receive a flush, in this poker run the Straight beats the FLUSH,
Full House: A full house beats a straight. A full house is the combination of three of a kind and a pair. If two or more players have a full house then the player with the best three of a kind wins. If those are the same then the player with the best pair wins.
Four of a Kind: Four of a kind (four cards of the same rank) beats a full house. If two or more players share the same four of a kind, then the fifth card kicker determines the winner.
Straight Flush: A straight flush (five consecutive cards all of the same suit) beats four of a kind. Aces can be high or low. An ace-high straight flush is called a royal flush, the best possible hand in poker.
