What is a Poker Run?
Just like regular poker, every player is trying to get a winning poker hand. The difference is that you’ll be driving to five different poker stops around Albuquerque, drawing a playing card at each one. You’ll be showing your car off around town and coming back to the Car Show site by 11 am. Cars in the Poker Run are not timed, we just need a cut off time to pick the winner. Speeding and racing are not allowed to make sure everyone is having a good, safe time. Having the winning poker hand is a matter of chance, but having fun is part of the trip either way.
