New Year's Poker Ride
Posted November 27th, 2005 by drewish
After the last poker ride went so well, GravelTech is pleased to announce the New Year's Day Poker Ride.
What: A group ride/pub crawl stopping at four bars. Riders are dealt cards along the way. We're changing the rules a little to mix things up. The basic idea is that at the last stop you'll have to find another rider with a hand that compliments yours and combine cards to make the best hand possible.
When: Sunday January 1st, meet at 3pm, ride at 3:15pm. Hopefully, you'll be able to shake off that hang over by then
Where: Meet on the Esplanade, under the Hawthorne Bridge's east end.
Rules:
- The buy-in is $3. For that you'll receive one playing card, one spoke card, and if you're early, one can of cheap beer.
- At each stop we'll deal out one card to each rider and then announce the location of the next stop.
- After they're dealt, cards will be marked with the rider's number to cut down on monkey business.
- Along the way there'll probably be some contests/trivia questions/games to win an extra "bonus" card.
- The winning hand, as judged by whatever poker book I can find at Powell's, gets the pot.
