What exactly is a poker run? A poker run is an unorganized event where participants, typically utilizing large vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles, skis, snowboards, horses, or any other means of transport, are forced to go to five to seven poker tables, drawing a card at each one. The objective is to get the winning poker hand at the end of each run. The individual with the winning hand takes the prize and the position of the player with the most chips wins the pot.
