Texans Ordered to Fold ‘Em, Poker Runs That Is
Texans love motorcycles and Texans love poker. It’s no accident, then, that residents of the Lone Star State are huge fans of "poker runs." At poker runs, motorcycle riders pay an entry/registration fee and receive a random card at each of several predetermined rally points. At the end of the run, participants with the best, second-best, and worst poker hands receive cash prizes.
These poker runs have become popular as fundraisers for charitable causes, as charities can rake in hundreds or even thousands of dollars…
