Running Hearts Poker

Running Hearts Poker We run Texas Hold'em tournaments in D.C. for entertainment purposes, however, you can win cash, bar tabs and other cool prizes. area.

The proprietors of Running Hearts are Jason and Rae. They met on the felt in late 2009. Jason gave Rae a bad beat on the river. Months later they decided to form a partnership in order to have games the way they like Texas Hold 'Em tourneys to be run. The result was the formulation of Running Hearts, LLP. The name Running Hearts makes reference to the last two community cards in Texas Hold 'Em pok

er: the turn and river. When those two cards, in succession, "make" a hand, the popular poker phrase for that is called "runner-runner", but also commonly referred to as "running cards". When the turn and river are both hearts, you have what's called running hearts. Coincidentally, the first very Main Event winner got running hearts for a backdoor flush. Running Hearts Poker League started in November, 2010 in an upstairs room of Argonaut ("Argo") Bar and Tavern on H Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. With just a small following then of roughly 12 people, they would meet once a week on Thursday and play Texas Hold 'Em for free and Argo gave away gift cards to their bar. Argonaut remains one of the favorite venues of the league members. Every four months Argo is the host venue for the Main Event which features Visa gift cards, Argo gift cards, hats, t-shirts, mugs, bar mats, key chains, and many other cool prizes all just for showing up to Running Hearts Poker League venues and playing FREE poker. For all standings and points, league members can go to www.runningheartspoker.webs.com and check their individual results by clicking on the "Standings" link.

Those of you who were at the game last week may recall, but let this serve as a reminder and notice, that Finn McCool's will not be hosting poker tomorrow in light of St. Patrick's Day. Not sure if their St. Patty's Day festivities are going forward after Mayor Bowser implemented social distancing parameters.

On that note, Running Hearts will also be following best social distancing practices in an effort to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. At this point, we anticipate running games on April 14. Please follow us on social media for updates.
