Poker Walk

3 Years, 8 Months ago

 
With Poker being so popular - has anyone participated in or held a Poker Walk with their school?

If so, could you post the basic instructions?
and whether you use cards or chips?
and how you deal out the cards at the end?

(with the gambling connection - I was wondering if the school board would snub this idea)

I'm curious, what is a Poker "Walk"?

With respect to the gambling aspect, 50/50 raffles are a form of gambling and as long as that is acceptable in your district, the poker function would probably be ok too.

To cover ourselves, just in case, we did get a permit for the raffles.

Normally motorcycle and car clubs do "Poker Runs" and go from tavern to tavern.

A poker walk is similar to a walk-a-thon - except you walk a designated route and stop at checkpoints to pick up poker chips (or playing cards). 5 checkpoints, if you're playing 5 card stud.


At the end of the route, the person with the best poker hand wins a prize (or cash). If you have a bad hand, you can buy additional cards for $1 each.

I've seen groups turn this into "sneaker" day - give prizes for the best decorated sneakers, etc.

Just wondering if the "Poker" theme would fly with the district.
