"This person has a pair of queens and no potential for a low. But at this juncture he does have two pair, queens and three's. Let's proceed there is betting let's assume there is betting and then card number three is turned over, that's a jack, betting occurs and then we look at the last card number four on the board and there is the final round of betting. The showdown comes and remember the way Z works is that while these are dealt out 1 2 3 and 4 you can not use these two cards together and you can not use these two cards together, you can't use these two cards together. You can use these two, these two or these two so let's see how that works let's make our five best card hands. Well here where I have potential for low a low never got there my cards don't match up cause a I made a pair with one of my low cards. I did make two pair I have nines and threes we already know there are three fours out there so we're just going to throw this hand away. Here that jack came just like we wished a set of jacks and that is the best hand for this one and there is no low. This person who had three fours and no potential for a low and no potential for a flush also never made a straight and unfortunate loses to the three jacks so that goes into the muck. Then this fellow again no potential for a low and his queens were out done by the three jacks and so that is that set of jacks takes this hand of Z."
