Starting Hands in Pyramid Poker

Video Transcript

"We've done the initial deal in the pyramid. We dealt everyones five cards and then we dealt out the pyramid which will hold the community cards and some surprises. We are playing with blinds. The dealer button is here, here is the small blind, the big blind which means this person is the first to act after the initial deal. Let's look at this players cards. We have a king high hand, a king nine, eight, five and a three and we have three suits out of five cards going. So there is not any connectivity except for the nine and eight; there is not really a strong flush draw going. But we might as well go ahead and play the nine, eight suited just for the sake of this experiment so this player will call and now moving around this player has ace high working on the ace king. So this player is going to call a small blind a pair eight, eight with an ace so he'll go ahead and complete the blind. Finally in the big blind not a lot going on. as you can see so he decides he'll check and see what comes next and we are going to talk about what comes next."
