Literally, to poke someone. Typically this is done over an IM client.
Part of the old school emote family (yeah, before lolcats).
Like anything enclosed in asterisks, *poke* is performing the action of poking the person you send it to.
Largely replaced, in modern context, with "/e", "/me" or "/em" (emote) preceding the action.

I got a poke of candy down at the corner store
You put the cat in the poke.
When I was a kid, I used to walk twenty miles to the store to bring a poke of flaer home.
