SCARPA Poker Run 2010 - 5 Card STUUUUUD!
Sunday March 7, 2010 | 9:00am
A ski tour that's really a poker game that's really a ski tour, that's really not a race.
Here is how it goes: Hook up with a buddy(teams of two), and ski tour along a predetermined course via map, stop in at the 5 check points and get your ID card stamped.
Get to the finish and hand in your ID card. You will draw cards for every check point you made it to. In the end and the top 3 hands win. OK… maybe some can race for the fastest team gets a 6th wild card. In case of a tie, we will cut he deck, highest card wins.
All decisions made by the hard-ass judges are Final! Latest possible return time: 2:00 pm. Winners will be announced at 4:00 pm at the Suunto Happy hour. You must be present to win.
Here is what you are after…
- 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.
- Four of a Kind: Four cards of the same value with one extra card present.
- Straight Flush: Five sequential cards of the same suit.
