When most people think of a poker run, they think of motorcycles that ride for charity, collecting poker cards along the way and trying to build the best poker hand to win prizes.

Poker terminology:
- STRAIGHT - A hand consisting of 5 cards in sequence but not in suit.
- TO GO - The current betting level, as in "$20 to go" meaning every player must contribute $20 (total) or drop. A $10 raise would then make the pot "$30 to go".
- FIFTH STREET - In stud poker, the fifth card to be dealt to each player. Sometimes used to refer to the last card dealt in Hold'em, although the more common term for this is RIVER (q.v.).
- LOCK - A hand that cannot be beat under any circumstances. Also: NUTS.
- BAD-BEAT JACKPOT - In some cardrooms, a prize that is shared by the players in a game, when a very good hand (usually Aces full, or better) is beaten by a higher hand. Jackpots are usually financed by taking a drop ($1 is a common amount) from every pot. A typical division of the jackpot will give the losing hand 50 %, the winning hand 25 %, and the other players at the table share the remaining 25 % of the Jackpot.
- BIG SLICK - In Texas Hold'em, hole cards of A-K, suited or not.
