Poder run details

[digginfordollars]

The poker run will consist of four on the water stops, locations will be given tomorrow nite, with the fifth stop at Owl Cove. During the driver's meeting you will be given sheets for each hand that you purchase. First hand is $20, extra hands are $10. When we get to the first stop, we need to raft up, this will take some cooperation and patience but we are all experienced boaters and I know we can do this without any problems. Have fenders, dock lines, maybe anchors ready. Upon rafting cards will be picked, in no specific order, for each hand purchased. There will be one deck of cards for this, shuffled before every draw and spread out for the draw. This means that it is possible to get five aces of the same suit. Unlikely, but probable. After drawing a card for your hand it will be recorded on your sheet and in a master sheet. This way there is no "mixing and matching" or any questions on who had what. The game is five card stud. Maybe someone could research (PH?) the order of winning cards with this kind of game in mind. I'm thinking five winners, 1st 40%, 2nd and 3rd 20% each, and 4th and 5th 10%. Total payout on money collected, no rake. Sound ok?

Based on the other thread about poker run participants 1st place should get about $275, 2nd and 3rd $135, 4th and 5th $70

Ok, I'll make the 4th stop the farthest from Owl cove. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/Bolt.gif

I don't think I'm going to be able to go out today to lay out the course. This rain sucks. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/angry.gif Have to go during the week.

[never enough]

Sounds like a good time. Can't wait!

He IS the boss. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[digginfordollars]

Ok, I made it out this afternoon. Beautiful out there, all glass and overcast skies, hardly any boats because of the earlier rain. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif

First stop will be just before the thirty mile light. This will be a raft up stop. GPS coords are N-35*37.183 W-114*39.219

Second stop will be in Burny Cove, this will also be a raft up stop as there is no beach there. GPS N-35*40.096 W-114*40.941

Third stop will be behind Fire Island. We may be able to beach if no one is in there. GPS N-35*41.256 W-114*41.398

Fourth stop. Not sure what this is called on the map but STV Keith calls it stopover beach on his map. There should be enough room for us all to beach, draw cards and then hightail it back to Owl Cove, about eleven miles. GPS N-35*43.217 W-114*41.935

Sounds great, Kurt! Can't wait! http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif

How to rank poker hand.....

1. Royal Flush
This is the highest poker hand. It consists of ace, king, queen, jack, ten, all in the same suit. As all suits are equal, all royal flushes are equal.

2. Straight Flush
Five cards of the same suit in sequence - such as J-10-9-8-7. Between two straight flushes, the one containing the higher top card is higher. An ace can be counted as low, so 5-4-3-2-A is a straight flush, but its top card is the five, not the ace, so it is the lowest type of straight flush. The cards cannot "turn the corner": 4-3-2-A-K is not valid.

3. Four of a kind
Four cards of the same rank - such as four queens. The fifth card can be anything. This combination is sometimes known as "quads", and in some parts of Europe it is called a "poker", though this term for it is unknown in English. Between two fours of a kind, the one with the higher set of four cards is higher - so 3-3-3-3-A is beaten by 4-4-4-4-2. It can't happen in standard poker, but if in some other game you need to compare two fours of a kind where the sets of four cards are of the same rank, then the one with the higher fifth card is better.

4. Full House
This consists of three cards of one rank and two cards of another rank - for example three sevens and two tens (colloquially known as "sevens full" or more specifically "sevens on tens"). When comparing full houses, the rank of the three cards determines which is higher. For example 9-9-9-4-4 beats 8-8-8-A-A. If the threes of a kind were equal, the rank of the pairs would decide.

5. Flush
Five cards of the same suit. When comparing two flushes, the highest card determines which is higher. If the highest cards are equal then the second highest card is compared; if those are equal too, then the third highest card, and so on. For example K-J-9-3-2 beats K-J-7-6-5 because the nine beats the seven.

6. Straight
Five cards of mixed suits in sequence - for example Q-J-10-9-8. When comparing two sequences, the one with the higher ranking top card is better. Ace can count high or low in a straight, but not both at once, so A-K-Q-J-10 and 5-4-3-2-A are valid straights, but 2-A-K-Q-J is not. 5-4-3-2-A is the lowest kind of straight, the top card being the five.

7. Three of a Kind
Three cards of the same rank plus two other cards. This combination is also known as Triplets or Trips. When comparing two threes of a kind the hand in which the three equal cards are of higher rank is better. So for example 5-5-5-3-2 beats 4-4-4-K-Q. If you have to compare two threes of a kind where the sets of three are of equal rank, then the higher of the two remaining cards in each hand are compared, and if those are equal, the lower odd card is compared.

8. Two Pairs
A pair is two cards of equal rank. In a hand with two pairs, the two pairs are of different ranks (otherwise you would have four of a kind), and there is an odd card to make the hand up to five cards. When comparing hands with two pairs, the hand with the highest pair wins, irrespective of the rank of the other cards - so J-J-2-2-4 beats 10-10-9-9-8 because the jacks beat the tens. If the higher pairs are equal, the lower pairs are compared, so that for example 8-8-6-6-3 beats 8-8-5-5-K. Finally, if both pairs are the same, the odd cards are compared, so Q-Q-5-5-8 beats Q-Q-5-5-4.

9. Pair
A hand with two cards of equal rank and three other cards which do not match these or each other. When comparing two such hands, the hand with the higher pair is better - so for example 6-6-4-3-2 beats 5-5-A-K-Q. If the pairs are equal, compare the highest ranking odd cards from each hand; if these are equal compare the second highest odd card, and if these are equal too compare the lowest odd cards. So J-J-A-9-3 beats J-J-A-8-7 because the 9 beats the 8.

10. High Card
Five cards which do not form any of the combinations listed above. When comparing two such hands, the one with the better highest card wins. If the highest cards are equal the second cards are compared; if they are equal too the third cards are compared, and so on. So A-J-9-5-3 beats A-10-9-6-4 because the jack beats the ten.



That should cover it!

Oh....and since there is a possible 5 of a kind that would beat a Royal Flush.

[STV_Keith]

Sounds great guys...the GPS is already pre-loaded with the points!

Got the coordinates and will program them tonight. Even though I don't have a trick dash mounted GPS like kevin, one handed steering in the new boat is so easy the handheld GPS should work just fine! http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Sure is nice to be 'flying' down the lake and not have to worry about holding a gps. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumb.gif Poker (or should I say 'poder' http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif ) stops are programmed! Is it Friday yet? http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif

See everyone there. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
