Video Transcript

"Let's look now at how a pot is taken down in this little game called Z. Z is played high low it's actually played high low eight, what that means is that the best high hand takes out the pot and the best low hand that has no card higher than an eight takes down half the pot. Here's an example in the game of Z you have to use three cards from your down hand and then two cards which are connected and we'll explain that later on the board. In this case I'm going to use the nine and the seven so I have three nines and that is the best high hand. This guy over here has the best low hand he's going to play eight three deuce and this seven and this for so he gets half the pot. The guy gets the high half, the guy gets the low half and what does that mean, well each of these fellows are going to get half of the pot."
